"We’re proud to support our valued client on projects like this that help protect communities and deliver vital infrastructure"
STEVE MORTON, DIG DIG UK
DIG DIG UK was proud to support our valued client in the successful delivery of the Preston Flood Risk Management Scheme. Through reliable plant availability and highly skilled machine operation, our team contributed to key excavation and groundwork activities required for the installation of critical flood defence infrastructure.
The works formed part of a wider programme designed to strengthen flood protection along the River Ribble, helping to safeguard homes, businesses, and public spaces in Preston from future flood events.
Due to the constrained nature of the site — with residential properties, railway infrastructure, and public access routes in close proximity — the works required precise machine operation, strict adherence to safety protocols, and close coordination with site teams to ensure safe and efficient delivery.
By combining experienced operators with modern, high-performance excavators and specialist attachments, DIG DIG UK delivered efficient and accurate excavation and material handling across the project. The equipment was carefully selected to maximise productivity while maintaining safety and control within the restricted working environment.
