Concept site: an example firm
Heavy civil contractor
We build viaducts, sea walls, deep foundations and earthworks with our own machines, our own people and our own concrete. Fewer hand-overs, and one team to answer to.
Six jobs, from a viaduct to a sea wall. Each one says where it was, who it was for, what we built and the hardest part.
Concept: names, places and facts are examples
A new rail viaduct across a river valley. We drove the piles, cast the piers and placed a precast deck from above.
A basement dug beside occupied buildings, with ground movement read every day.
The trunk road stayed open while we rebuilt the junction around it.
Pours timed to low water, twice a day, for eleven months.
All work in weekend closures, with the line handed back each Monday.
A busy town centre on one side and the river on the other, so every lorry had a booked slot.
Our own plant, crews and concrete. One team runs the programme and answers for it.
Our own fleet (example)
Bulk dig, cut and fill, ground treatment and site platforms.
Viaducts, underpasses and marine structures, from piles to deck.
Seen on: Kestrel
Bored and secant piles, basements and raft foundations.
In-situ and precast work, poured by our own concrete crews.
Roads, junctions and rail civils, built around live traffic and closures.
Deep drainage, SuDS and utility diversions on live sites.
Our machines. Our drivers.
A drill rig breaks rock while a digger clears it. No hired-in plant waiting on a phone call.
Before you appoint a contractor, you need to check they can do the work safely. This is the list we would give you to check.
Bastion is not a real firm, so it holds none of these. On a real site, each row would name the scheme, give the certificate number and link to the public register where you can check it.
| Scheme | What it shows | Certificate |
|---|---|---|
| Safety pre-qualification (SSIP member scheme) | The firm has passed a health and safety check for this type of work. | Placeholder: scheme name, certificate ID, expiry date |
| ISO 45001 health and safety | Health and safety is run through a written system that is audited every year. | Placeholder: certifying body, certificate ID |
| ISO 9001 quality | Work follows a written quality system that an outside body audits. | Placeholder: certifying body, certificate ID |
| ISO 14001 environment | Effects on ground, water and neighbours are planned for and audited. | Placeholder: certifying body, certificate ID |
| RISQS (rail supplier scheme) | The firm has passed the rail industry's supplier check, needed before working on or near the railway. | RISQS: [concept: not certified]. Placeholder: RISQS number, audit date |
| Accident rate | RIDDOR reportable injuries per 100,000 hours worked, with the year it covers and how it was counted. | Placeholder: rate, year, definition |
No logos are shown on purpose. A badge without a certificate number proves nothing.
Bastion builds with its own machines, its own crews and its own concrete. We take jobs where the ground, the water or the traffic make the work hard.
The same site manager carries the job from start to hand-over. You know who to call, and so do we.
