Everyone sees the machines and the digging, but there's a lot that goes on before we even get to site.

Plans, permits, surveys, traffic management, risk assessments... the boring stuff that nobody posts about 😅

Getting all that right means the job runs smoother once the lads are on the ground.

A lot goes into every project before the first bucket hits the dirt.

Big shout out to the drilling lads, Ollie, Zac & Jordan. 💪

Ollie and Zac are the originals, the lads who got the drilling side rolling, with Jordan now part of the crew keeping things moving day in, day out.

These boys put the hours in, keep the jobs running smooth, stay focused, and always get it done no matter what the ground throws at them. Mud, heat, breakdowns, long days… they just crack on. 💪

Experience counts in this game, and having a solid team behind the drill makes all the difference. Proud of what these three are building at KRC.

🚜 Training & Testing Day in the yard 🚨

A great day for the yard team completing their FTD Plant Mover Card training and testing with CT Assessments & Training covering:

✅ Tracked Excavators
✅ Rollers
✅ Dumpers

We’re pleased to say the lads passed with no problem 😉👏

For yard operatives, this training is essential. Moving plant safely around the depot, loading areas, workshops and deliveries requires the correct knowledge, awareness and practical ability. Having the right certification helps ensure:

🔸 Safe manoeuvring of machinery around busy yards
🔸 Reduced risk of accidents, damage and downtime
🔸 Compliance with health & safety requirements
🔸 Confidence operating multiple types of plant
🔸 Professional standards across the business

Investing in proper training not only protects the team and equipment, but also keeps operations running smoothly and safely every day.

Well done Mark & George 👏

🚧 Welcoming the latest addition to the KRC drilling fleet. 🚧

Our new Ditch Witch AT32 Horizontal Directional Drill is ready for work strengthening our capability to deliver efficient, low-disruption trenchless solutions across utility and infrastructure projects.

HDD play a major role in the work we deliver, allowing us to install services with minimal impact to roads, landscapes, and existing infrastructure while maintaining precision underground.

Why HDD?
✔ Minimal surface disruption
✔ Reduced reinstatement and restoration costs
✔ Ability to drill beneath roads, rivers, rail, and congested areas
✔ Safer and more environmentally considerate installation methods
✔ Increased efficiency on complex utility projects

With demand for trenchless technology continuing to grow, investing in the right equipment ensures we can keep delivering reliable, high-quality solutions for our clients.

This girl went straight to site and put to work straight off the wagon!

🚧 Leeds Road Infrastructure Works 🚧

We’re currently delivering specialist pipeline diversion works around Huddersfield.

This phase of the project includes:
🔹 Butt Fusion and Electrofusion (EF) welding of PE pipework
🔹 Slip lining PE pipework through existing bridge ducts
🔹 Excavation and installation of new ductile iron (DI) pipework
🔹 Installation of 400mm & 350mm DI main diversions

These works require careful planning, precision installation and close coordination on site to maintain programme efficiency while working within a busy live environment.

The combination of PE welding and ductile iron installation allows for a durable, long-term solution that will strengthen and futureproof the local water network infrastructure. 💧

Karl and his gang are doing a great job, cheers guys 👏
