Foundations
Ground Works and Foundations for Self Builds. Whether you are a commercial, private or public sector client you can rest assured that your work will be carried out to the highest standards & to building control regulations.

We ensure minimal disruption to surrounding paths, driveways, patios, farms, garden or landscaped areas, as we always protect these using plywood before any machinery enters your property. We are fully insured and have an excellent reputation for quality & tidiness on site.

Lead Water Pipe Replacement
Many properties in Northern Ireland built before 1970 may still be serviced by lead water pipes which at some point will need replaced. These crack and create leaks, drop in water pressure etc.

Lead has also been recognised as being harmful. If the water board detect a breakage on your property through their regular checks they will insist that these are fixed and replaced or they will provide a contractor to do this.

Replacement of Lead Pipes
The part of the service pipe from the customer’s tap to the property boundary, which is known as the supply pipe, is the responsibility of the householder while responsibility for the part of the pipe from the property boundary to the water main, which is known as the communication pipe, rests with NI Water.

FMC are experts in replacing lead water pipework with new safe plastic pipes. We are experts in narrow access groundwork and can replace pipework with the minimum of disruption to paths, gardens, driveways etc. We have 25 years experience in this field and can use thrust boring underground techniques to replace the pipework which means we won’t need to dig up all your property for access. If you live in an area with limited space we have all the specialist narrow access equipment available to conduct the work with minimum disruption.

Mini Piling & Underpinning
Our mini piling facilities allow you to complete construction work in hard to reach areas. When standard piling machines aren't enough, call FMC Piling & Foundations Ltd.

Our mini piling equipment & machinery is available for use on commercial, residential & industrial premises. It works as a cost effective solution for stabilising any building. We liaise with structural engineers & conform to all building control regulations.

Drainage
From complete drainage system replacements to initial pipework installations for a new commercial or residential build, our drainage engineers have the skills & facilities needed to complete all jobs. Our specialism is in accessing difficult to reach areas like town centres, housing developments, gardens and any other limited access areas where pipes, drainage or foundations are required.

When installing foundations or drainage to an existing build, hitting existing systems or coming across pipework is very likely, this can hold up a project significantly. Here at FMC we have the ability to move & configure your drainage system & pipework to fit around possible obstacles.

Thrust Boring
Our thrust boring & directional drilling services can be successfully used under roads, lanes & driveways. The service is completed without any traffic disruption whatsoever. Where digging is impossible thrust boring is the ideal solution for digging under roads, railways, farmyards, lawns, driveways, paths, lanes, buildings and any other area.

Thrust boring or sub surface drilling allows you to easily & safely install pipes, pipe casing & drainage beneath an existing surface without disruption. The piping may be large & run under a major road or can simply run under a residential driveway, whatever the job size FMC can provide professional assistance, advice & expertise.
