Civil Engineering Contractors

Milburn Construction are civil engineering contractors delivering infrastructure, drainage and structural packages across North East England, North Yorkshire and the Scottish Borders. 

We support residential developments, commercial sites, infrastructure schemes and agricultural projects with adoptable works, reinforced concrete structures, deep drainage systems and highway improvements. Established in 2006 and based in Cramlington, we provide technically capable delivery backed by experienced site teams and strong in-house plant support. 

Our civil engineering capability is built around coordinated sequencing, compliance with adoption standards and programme control across complex sites. 

Infrastructure & Drainage Engineering

As experienced civil engineering contractors, we deliver both on-site and off-site infrastructure packages, including: 

  • On-site roads and sewers 
  • Sewer diversions 
  • Deep drainage systems 
  • Attenuation tanks 
  • Stormwater attenuation systems 
  • Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) ponds
  • Pumping stations and rising mains
  • Interceptor tanks 
  • Surface water management infrastructure 

Drainage and sewer installations are delivered to specification and coordinated with adoption authorities where required. 

We understand that drainage packages are often programme-critical. Our sequencing ensures inspection readiness, interface coordination and minimal disruption to follow-on trades.

  • Deep sewer runs 
  • Rising mains 
  • Pumping stations 
  • Inspection chambers 
  • Manholes 
  • Utility diversions 

Our approach prioritises safety, compliance and coordination with wider infrastructure packages. 

Agricultural & Rural Civil Engineering

Civil engineering in rural environments requires practical delivery and understanding of agricultural infrastructure. 

We construct: 

  • Commercial pipe laying 
  • Slurry infrastructure 
  • Lagoons 
  • Underground tanks 
  • Field drainage systems 
  • Agricultural roadways 

These works support agricultural estates and rural developments across North East England, North Yorkshire and the Borders.

Integrated Civil Engineering & Ground Packages

Many projects require coordination between bulk earthworks, civil engineering and groundworks. 

As an established regional contractor, we provide integrated packages that allow smooth transition from formation and ground engineering through to drainage, structures and surface works.
