Groundworks and Civil Engineering Contractors in Howden
CDH Construction covers Howden and the DN14 postcode area from our office in Newport, about 7 miles away.
Construction work in Howden
Howden has seen sustained housing and commercial development close to the motorway junction. Typical work for us in this area includes distribution and commercial units, housing developments and farm buildings.
The land around Howden is low lying, with soft alluvial clays, silts and pockets of peat and a water table close to the surface. Engineers here often specify raft or piled foundations, and excavations need to be planned with groundwater in mind.
We work from the engineer's drawings and set out with our own survey equipment. Sites near Howden Minster and junction 37 of the M62 and the Ozone business park are within easy reach of our office by the M62 and A63.
