Groundworks for the Logistics Heartland
Derby and Burton upon Trent sit at the heart of the UK's "Golden Triangle" for logistics and manufacturing. With the A38 and A50 corridors driving immense demand for industrial warehousing and distribution centres, the region requires civil engineering partners who understand the scale of modern commerce. Tilsley Groundworks provides Tier-1 capable groundworks and infrastructure services specifically tailored to the industrial sector across Derbyshire and East Staffordshire.
We are not a generalist builder. We are a specialist civil engineering contractor with a deep understanding of heavy-duty requirements. Whether you are extending a distribution hub in Dove Valley Park or constructing a new manufacturing facility in Burton, we have the owned fleet and the technical expertise to deliver the groundworks package on time and to specification. We understand that in the logistics sector, every day of delay is a day of lost throughput. That is why our "owned plant" model is critical—we mobilise our own Volvo excavators and dozers, ensuring your programme is never held to ransom by hire availability.
Heavy-Duty Concrete Flooring & External Yards
In an industrial environment, the ground is your most valuable asset. It must withstand the relentless punishment of 44-tonne HGVs, forklift traffic, and high static racking loads. Tilsley Groundworks specialises in the design and installation of high-specification concrete slabs.
External Service YardsWe construct durable external concrete yards capable of handling high point loads (up to 70 tonnes) without cracking or subsiding.
- Ground Improvement: We execute rigorous sub-base preparation and compaction testing before a single cubic metre of concrete is poured.
- Reinforcement: From traditional steel mesh to modern fibre-reinforced concrete, we install to the structural engineer's exact detail.
- Finishing: We offer brush finishes for external traction and high-tolerance power-floated finishes for internal warehousing, ensuring a dust-free, durable surface for your MHE (Material Handling Equipment).
Infrastructure: Access Roads & S278 Works
Connecting your site to the network is critical. We are experienced in delivering Section 278 (S278) highway works to adoptable standards. Whether you need a new bell-mouth junction to allow HGV access off a main road or the construction of internal site roadways, we handle the entire process.
Our teams are accredited to work on the highway, managing traffic management and liaison with local authorities (Derbyshire County Council / Staffordshire County Council). We construct heavy-duty asphalt and concrete roads designed to resist the specific stresses of turning heavy goods vehicles, preventing the potholes and rutting that plague poorly constructed industrial estates.
