We specialise in integrated solutions for road, rail, and air. From highways to civil engineering, our team delivers high- quality construction services that connect communities and drive progress.
Our Civil Engineering offering includes kerbs, footways and paved areas. From foundations to finishing touches, our teams deliver kerbing, footways, cycling and paving work, with expertise in highways and public realm projects.
Kerbing is essential for defining and supporting edges in landscaped areas, roads, and pathways. Kerbs provide physical boundaries that help control water runoff, protect green areas, and create clear distinctions between different landscape sections.
The installation process requires precise measurements and secure installation to ensure long-lasting results. Our skilled labourers build to strict standards which guarantee both the quality and safety of the paved areas.
McCann installs a variety of kerbstones, from traditional precast concrete (PCC) to decorative and specialised stones (typical for public realm works), depending on the aesthetic and functional requirements of each project.
Through quality kerbing installations, we help enhance both the functionality and appearance of landscapes and paved surfaces.
Whether it’s for public realm, commercial, or highways, our paved area installation services ensures that your street paving or footpath is both durable and visually appealing. McCann can supply and install a wide range of materials and styles to suit your needs, from traditional to contemporary designs.
The specific function of the commercial paved area, anticipated traffic loadings and exposure in this area are all considered with each project. This allows our team to recommend the correct bedding and paving type for the traffic categories, suitable and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and whether this would require enhanced crack-resistant grout or enhanced bedding mortar.
The McCann team have installed hard landscaping for areas in and around retail areas and shopping centres, hotels, leisure facilities, stadiums, any kind of public buildings, offices and residential developments. The overall aesthetic of the surrounding areas often dictates what type of materials are being used.
Complementing our kerbing and paved areas services, our expertise extends seamlessly across complete footway and cycleway construction. From pedestrian footpaths for public areas to service footpaths and steps for highways maintenance access, our advanced construction techniques and high-quality materials create footpaths that ensure smooth surfaces, provide clear kerbs, address drainage issues and enhanced accessibility for all. Our footways and cycleways are a vital part of the urban landscape by connecting communities and supporting sustainable transport goals for local authorities.
A large portion of our footpath installations include footpaths on highway verges, laybys and emergency refuge bays as part of the National Emergency Area Retrofit (NEAR) Scheme. The roadside footpaths provided provide easy footings for those undertaking maintenance to communications and highway technology, and in the event of a breakdown provide a safe space for refuge.
McCann’s have been providing kerbs, footways, and paved areas as part of our civil engineering offering for over 60 years. We are a leading Civil Engineering company offering bespoke services across the United Kingdom that suit your exact requirements from footpath construction to street lighting.
