Groundworks and Civil Engineering Contractors in Selby
CDH Construction covers Selby and the YO8 postcode area from our office in Newport, about 15 miles away.
Construction work in Selby
Selby has large employment sites along the bypass and the river, with housing developments around the town. Typical work for us in this area includes industrial units, distribution sites, housing developments and farm buildings.
Selby is in the Vale of York, where glacial clays, sands and gravels vary over short distances and the land near the rivers lies within the flood plain. A ground investigation early in the project settles the foundation and drainage design.
We work from the engineer's drawings and set out with our own survey equipment. Sites near Selby Abbey and the River Ouse and the A63 bypass are within easy reach of our office by the A63 and A1079.
