Vacuum Excavation Corby
D&J Excavations provides vacuum excavation, potholing and utility exposure across Corby - safe, non-destructive digging for a town that's been expanding faster than almost anywhere in England.
Corby has transformed from its steel-town roots into one of the fastest-growing towns in the country, and the building hasn't stopped. Major housing sites like Priors Hall Park - a masterplan of more than 5,000 homes with new primary schools and community infrastructure - continue to add plots, with fresh phases such as the recently approved dwellings due to start on site. Each one needs new water, gas, power, drainage and fibre in the ground.
In the town centre, the Corby Towns Fund is delivering a cluster of regeneration projects, including the station-to-town-centre link route with works on Elizabeth Street, Oakley Road and Station Road. Congested regeneration sites like these are where proving and diverting existing services safely really matters.
Local projects in Corby
Corby's growth spans housing, town-centre regeneration and logistics. Alongside Priors Hall Park and the Towns Fund station link, the town's industrial and distribution base around Earlstrees and the wider Corby logistics market keeps expanding, and highway maintenance such as the Steel Road resurfacing continues across town. Service connections on new estates, utility diversions on regeneration sites and safe exposure around the industrial network are all routine vacuum excavation jobs here.
