Infrastructure & civil engineering.

Building the highways, public realm and networks we run on.

For more than 60 years McPhillips has been building the things which keep our regions moving. Our civil engineering projects across the Midlands, North West and Mid & North Wales have delivered the roads and highways, bridges, drainage, sewers, earthworks and public realm we all depend on.

Set up for complex civils.

McPhillips is engineered to deliver even the most complex of civil projects. We’re pre-qualified, accredited and framework-ready and use our directly employed teams and own plant. That means we can self-deliver technically demanding civil engineering while keeping it accountable from tender to handover.

Highways & public realm.

We build roads, junctions, footways, car parks and premium public realm, all while keeping traffic moving, shops and businesses open and pedestrians safe.

From major town-centre regeneration to S278 highway improvements, we deliver premium paving, kerbs, surfacing and street furniture and keep people and businesses moving throughout. Attention to detail and pride in our work mean the end result is a public realm which looks right and lasts for decades.

Drainage & earthworks.

If what’s below the ground isn’t right, what’s above the surface won’t be either. That’s why drainage, sewers, canals, groundworks, land remediation and bulk earthworks are so important.

We deliver complex below-ground works for water authorities, developers and councils, from foul and surface-water drainage to large-scale earthworks and contaminated-land remediation. Owning our plant and employing our teams directly means we can mobilise quickly and keep tight control of programme, cost and quality.

The roads, bridges and drainage our regions rely on.

Infrastructure & bridges.

Every project McPhillips builds is engineered and self-delivered to the same exacting standard. For more than 60 years we’ve been constructing bridges, retaining walls, culverts and highway infrastructure that stands the test of time.

Our civil engineering teams have decades of experience creating the infrastructure that carries roads, paths and waterways, such as reinforced-concrete and steel bridges, retaining walls, headwalls and culverts. Because we engineer and build, we bring buildability and value-engineering advice in from the start, protecting both budget and programme on technically complex schemes.

Built for the long term.

What a project leaves behind matters just as much as the building itself. That’s why we set clear social value targets at the start of every contract — including local jobs, training, supply chain spend and community benefit — and report against them throughout.

Get in touch

We directly employ 240+ people and own our plant, so the people who price the works deliver them. That means fewer subcontract chains and clearer accountability on cost, programme and quality.

Yes, we have decades of experience working in busy public spaces. Much of our public-realm and highways work is in occupied retail cores. We provide traffic and pedestrian management, liaise with local businesses and BIDs and phase works to keep people moving.

We are on the Black Country Highways Works framework, Herefordshire Council’s Highways and Public Realm framework for general civils and structures, Warwickshire County Council’s civil engineering works framework, Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s minor works framework and Regenda’s civils and highways framework, alongside utility frameworks, S278/S38 agreements and direct two-stage or ECI procurement.
