EV Re-Instatement

Introduction

Blackoak Contracts excels in EV reinstatement and compaction services, delivering precision, safety, and efficiency on every project. Our expert team ensures high-quality reinstatement after EV installations, backed by advanced compaction techniques that meet industry standards. We guarantee durability, compliance, and customer satisfaction across commercial and infrastructure developments.

Minimising Disruption

Blackoak Contracts understands the importance of reinstating trenches quickly to prevent excavations being affected by weather, and allowing roads and car parks to reopen for traffic. Where immediate reinstatement is not possible, road plates are installed to provide safe and secure access until permanent works can be completed.

Our Process

All reinstatement is compacted in layers to ensure strength and stability. Each trench is covered with sand, and electric detectable warning mesh is installed for traceability. Protection tiles can also be added when required. We use Type 1 MOT as a sub-base, or permeable clean stone depending on project specifications. Our operatives on site also complete HAVS records to ensure full compliance with Health & Safety guidelines when using compaction tools.

Quality Assurance

As-laid drawings are supplied for all trench work and cable laying to support future reference and maintenance. Where required, CBR testing can be performed to verify ground strength and compliance with site specifications. We also provide WAC testing to ensure materials meet environmental and regulatory standards.

"Please see below a snippet taken from our recent Considerate Constructors audit. The auditor told me during the visit that all the operatives on site had acknowledged him in a pleasant and approachable manner. This is really good to hear and is vital in achieving the required perception of Ring Stones/Calico construction sites. Please can you pass this good news message onto the operatives on Sycamore Avenue but also explain that this is a benchmark standard that must be maintained.

It was refreshing to note operatives were courteous."

Ringstones/Calico - Nick DawsonSite Manager

"We are extremely pleased with Blackoak Contracts, who are a professional, pro-active, and efficient organisation. The project, which consisted of the installation of new electric vehicle charging points at a 24-hour petrol station, went very smoothly, especially in terms of health and safety and with minimal disturbance to customers. Regular communication meant that time keeping was maintained and the programme was adhered to. The knowledge of the Blackoak team was truly a value added to the overall project, they strive for quality in their work and are committed in every step of the process."
