DES Remediation, Enabling and Civil Engineering

Our aim is to provide a personnel service tailored to the client’s needs.

Remediation, Enabling and Civil Engineering

DES offers tailored end-to-end solutions for landowners and developers.

With extensive experience in both the Residential and Commercial sectors, we are adept at navigating complex development requirements and processes. We help clients secure the necessary regulatory approvals efficiently, ensuring projects are executed with precision and in alignment with both budget and timelines.

Our experience and personnel approach allows us to challenge conventional strategies and find cost-effective solutions. By doing so, we give our clients and consultants the confidence that their development projects are being managed efficiently, whilst maximizing value and minimizing risk at every stage.

Development Review

At DES, we engage with clients and offer comprehensive project reviews that provide clients with expert advice on best practices and cost-effective solutions for relevant development processes. At pre-acquisition or post-acquisition of developments, we provide robust cost confidence for site remediation and enabling works and help clients understand potential development risks with associated abnormal development costs.


In our opinion, our early engagement to help review of planning and engineering designs is paramount to help advise in best development practices and ultimately cost-effective strategies. With DES, you gain the confidence that your land development and remediation projects will be managed effectively, with a clear focus on achieving the best possible value at every stage.

Cost Evaluation And Strategies

At DES, relationships with clients is important to us. With our experience and understanding in residential and commercial sectors, we understand the importance of generating cost efficient solutions and ultimately delivering cost effective strategies to agreed programmes.
We believe in supporting our clients in their tendering processes and site acquisitions, offering strategic advice that helps secure the best terms and outcomes.

Our experience extends to liaising with local authorities and relevant regulatory bodies to ensure that projects are compliant with all required standards and regulations. This collaborative approach helps ensure that every aspect of the development process runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Our Remediation, Enabling and Civil Engineering services across the UK

We offer a comprehensive range of services for land remediation, focusing on delivering sustainable and efficient solutions to address environmental challenges. Our teams provide full onsite management throughout the remediation process, coordinating all aspects of the project to ensure timely and cost-effective execution.

We manage waste classification and liaise with relevant regulatory bodies to ensure that all disposal and treatment processes adhere to local and national standards. Our services also include the import and placement of fill materials where required, ensuring that the site meets both environmental and engineering requirements for safe and sustainable redevelopment. Through our integrated approach, we provide clients with peace of mind, knowing that all aspects of site remediation are handled professionally and efficiently.

We offer a range of site-specific ground improvement techniques to enhance soil and ground stability where required.  From lime stabilisation, drilling and grouting, ground surcharging to re-engineered fill, we evaluate and work with site constraints and cost-effective methods to optimise the soil structure requirements.  Alternative ground engineering solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of your project, providing long-term stability and reducing risks associated with ground movement or settlement.

We understand all sites are unique and have their own constraints, requirements and difficulties. As part of DES enabling works to developments, we are also able to provide proprietary retaining walls that help establish development formation levels at an early stage of the programme. Cost effective retaining wall solutions are discussed at early stages and can be implemented as and when required.
As part of our early involvement with clients, we also review alternative ground treatment solutions for sub structures. We work closely with our specialist sub contractors to be able to apply cost effective foundation solutions as part of creating development platforms. In our experience this can provide a huge cost benefit to our clients and again, can be introduced in early stages of DES enabling works.

DES Civil Engineering provides all your main development infrastructure requirements. Our experienced site and office teams help establish your needs and happy to work closely with architects and engineers to ensure efficient processes are maintained with delivering works on site and budget.

We can undertake civil engineering works as a sub contractor or principle contractor. In any tailored development works, we pride ourselves on exceptional standards, without compromise.
