    About

CAN was established in the UK in 1983, and now employs around 250 staff.  Providing specialist access, we undertake ground engineering, structural installation and maintenance within all aspects of the construction and civil engineering markets throughout the UK.

CAN provides solutions to difficult or complex jobs, overcoming challenging access scenarios.  Thus minimising disruption to other parties, and completing high quality trades.

We hold the necessary health, safety, environmental and quality registrations to provide assurance that your exacting standards can be met.

Taking pride in our projects is just one of the reasons why we work regularly with so many of our clients.

With offices in Chesterfield, Kent, Bristol, Glasgow and Dublin serving the whole of the UK and Republic of Ireland, we offer a large fleet of in-house designed plant & access equipment, all CE marked.

We give you what it says on the box – Engineering Certainty
