Engineering Services is a commercially run team within the council. Our reputation is built on many years of experience in a wide range of drainage related, surveying and civil engineering works.
Our comprehensive services are split into four main areas:
- Land drainage services
- Field survey services
- Design services
- Waste water services
We deliver work for a vast range of clients in both the private and public sectors throughout the borough, London, and the South East of England.
Our clients rely on our flexibility and dedication to achieving high quality, best value results within set time scales. This has resulted in a high level of repeat business with an increase in our number of directly employed staff, enabling total control over the quality of the extensive range of services we provide.
