Our Services

Specialist Civil Engineering Services Built on 50 Years of Experience

Distribution Network Repairs and Maintenance

We are currently working alongside Clancy to replace and repair Southern Water’s distribution network in Sussex, Kent and Hampshire which involves all metering schemes and we specialise in large diameter pipe work and chamber construction.

Pipeline Construction

Pipeline Construction

With over 50 years experience in main laying and having carried out a large number of projects using clay, concrete, ductile iron and polyethylene (MDPE, HDPE HPPE) including gas, water and sewage pipelines.

We employ a number of trained pipe laying personnel who possess the Water Network Safety Passport and National Water Hygiene cards.

Line Stopping

Line Stopping is a system designed to stop flow through a pipeline while equipment repairs, or maintenance work is being carried out. A specialist plugging head is inserted into the line through a fitting and the flow is stopped or redirected through bypass piping.

Pipework Installation

Our highly experienced operatives can either work alongside your own site teams assisting with the installation of large or intricate pipework, or we can take over the full installation.

Hot Tapping aka under pressure drilling

Under Pressure Drilling / Hot Tapping

This is a precise process of drilling (and in some case threading) a hole in an operational pipeline without interrupting flow. Sizes range from 25mm to 600mm+. Widely used as a means of providing a branch connection to a live pipe in constant operation, where the consequences of a shutdown would not be practicable.

Pipe Cutting / Keel Cutting

In situations where the potential for fire or explosion exists, or working within a confined space, dangerous torch or abrasive wheel cutting can be avoided with our cold cutting services. Safe, accurately machined field cuts are performed quickly on 2″ through 24″ pipes.

Plumbridge uses spark-less, non-heat generating Keel Cutting equipment that is lightweight and portable, with a small profile requiring minimal clearance for use in underground excavations, or similarly restricted spaces.

Diamond Floor Sawing

Plumbridge Contractors are able to cut clean and accurate joints through many materials including tarmac, reinforced concrete and brickwork using diamond tipped blades. These are ideal for fixed depth cutting and expansion joints.

Diamond Core Drilling

Cuts clean and accurate holes through steel reinforced concrete, brickwork and all types of aggregate without the structural damage of impact methods.

We offer drilling in excess of 750mm diameter and a range of electric, hydraulic and air motors. Drilling is also possible both angled and inverted, depths in excess of 10m, along with full water control.

Site Surveys

Plumbridge offers a free of charge on-site survey for any product or service we offer. If we can identify a more cost effective means of resolving an issue we will provide you with that information.

We’ll arrange a time suitable for you to come take a look at your driveway, crossover or sewer connection to discuss your requirements and provide you with a full quotation detailing all aspects of pricing.

Labour Supply

We are able to supply labour for various duties associated with the construction industry.

pipe fitters, machine operators and skilled operatives, for day & or night operations, also gangs available for priced work with hourly rates also available.

Plumbridge provides complete sewer connection services for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. From initial planning and local authority approvals to excavation, installation, and final testing, we handle every stage of the process to ensure a safe, compliant, and efficient connection to the mains.
