Roads and Civil Works

Road design, construction and maintenance, with the drainage that makes them last.

What we do

Structural and geometric road design, earthworks, paving and surfacing, drainage, marking and signs.

A road is only as good as the layers under it and the drainage beside it. We design and build access roads, estate roads and highways with proper earthworks, compacted sub-base and base courses, and drains sized for Ghana's rainy seasons.

We also take on maintenance: pothole patching, surface dressing, regravelling, drain clearing and rehabilitation of failed sections. Our own fleet of Williot tipper trucks moves fill, stone and spoil on our schedule, not a hired driver's.

Questions

Roads and Civil Works: Common Questions

All questions
Do you build estate and access roads for private developers?

Yes. Estate roads, access roads and car parks are a large part of road work for private clients. We design the road and its drainage together.

Can you maintain an existing road?

Yes. We patch, reseal, regravel and clear drains, and we rehabilitate sections that have failed. We start with a walk-over survey and a priced list of repairs.
