We have been the contractor of choice for many of the UK's premier skateparks. Concrete is the preferred medium for skatepark
construction but requires exceptional skill in its
implementation, from the initial groundwork
preparation all the way through to final finishing
of the surface. It's fair to say that the quality of
the concrete can make or break a skate park. Our
reputation for excellence on these most demanding of
projects reflects the experience and expertise that
we are able to bring to them. We have constructed
over 50 skate parks around the UK to date,
including flagship projects such as Cantelowes in
Camden (top left) where, in addition to extremely complex formwork,
we performed all ancillary works including pathways,
drainage, landscaping and construction of the pavilion. Another
recent prestige project was ‘The XC’ in Hemel
Hempstead (top right), the UK's first indoor
concrete skatepark.

We specialise in deep drainage and pump chamber installations, and
complex soakway systems designed to drain mass areas
where there is no existing pipe infrastructure in place. This is a
common situation with many skate park installations, which are
usually isolated with no connection to any nearby pipes. We had to
create a complex drainage system for both the bowl and
Pavilion at the Cantelowes park in Camden, which required the installation of
pumping facilities.
In addition to these kind of groundworks we also undertake ancillary work that can include
installation of ducting, lighting, CCTV, pathways and access roads,
as well as bringing water and gas services on to a site.

Midas undertake all aspects of dry and wet sprayed
concrete applications. We have carried out sprayed
Shotcrete application for many Reinforced Concrete frame
contractors. Our specialist teams can spray Contig/Secant
piled walls, saving time on one-sided shutters. Once
sprayed they can be left ‘as sprayed’ or finished to
a smooth steel trowel finish. We can undertake all
associated works, such as fixing shutters for
kickers and also fixing of reinforcement.

We can provide comprehensive groundwork services
including the preparation of earthworks,
substructure and foundation work, pipeline and
drainage implementation, connections to main sewers,
and a wide range of other site preparation services
to support construction or civil engineering projects of any scale.
Another of our prestige projects was 'The Trees' in Somerset, winner
of the Grand Designs New Build of the Year Award in 2008. This
technically accomplished structure was based around a superstructure
that was built off-site and installed in one movement. Midas
Construction (UK) Limited provided all groundworks and foundations for this
project where, because of the nature of the installation, precision
and accuracy were critical to its overall success.
