DMJ Drainage Ltd services

Unobstructed, well-maintained ditches are an essential part of effective drainage. If you want your land to be as fertile and productive as possible, then the importance of ditch maintenance cannot be overlooked.

It’s more than just land drainage! Part of the DMJ Group, DMJ civils was established in response to repeated requests from major clients looking for a partner that could provide multi-disciplinary services.

Trenching works for utility installations can be provided where speed and precision are required. We have a range of trench specifications available with purpose built pipe chutes to provide laser-graded, clean trenches for precise installations. Spoil is easily dealt with, being placed either side of the trench so that it can be removed or backfilled. Due to the chain dig characteristics, the spoil excavated is usually fine and can usually be replaced easily.

Faced with significant financial pressure, many farmers are looking at ways to generate new income by diversifying into camping or glamping, opening a farm shop or converting unused outbuildings into office space or craft workshops.

One of our drainage specialists will visit you. They will survey the land, take soil samples, and identify the location of existing drains and buried services. We will discuss your current drainage plan (if any), future cropping plans, and time constraints. As part of the site visit, our surveyors will use the latest GPS technology to topographical survey your fi eld. Using the GPS data and our in-house software, we can access information about your current drainage plan and record the exact position of outfalls, culverts, obstacles and soil structure.

During the design process, we consider all essential factors, such as budget, cropping plans, time constraints and the problems your current drainage scheme presents. Our in-house surveyors utilise the latest GPS technology, which gives them detailed data, such as previous drainage plans and the position of culverts and obstacles, as well as current soil structures.

Based on your requirements, we will produce a design proposal drawing setting out our recommended drainage plan. This free-of-charge drawing will show you how the drainage scheme will be installed to resolve your drainage issues.

Once the drainage scheme is agreed, we will work with you to schedule the start of the project. We know that farming is a demanding industry, and we will plan our installation work around your needs. Having undertaken hundreds of projects, we have refined our approach to ensure minimal disruption to your operation.
