About Us
Daniel Roe Engineering (DRE) was founded in July 2020. With a foundation deeply rooted in the piling and civil engineering sector since 2009. However, we have been conducting fabrication and engineering works under the DRE Marine & Civils name since 2014. The decision to embark on this independent journey was fuelled by a passion for excellence, honed over eight years of subcontracting for a prominent Norfolk piling and dredging company.
We undertook diverse projects throughout this period, each requiring intricate problem-solving skills. The freedom to innovate and a commitment to delivering exceptional results became the hallmark of our approach. DRE Marine & Civils stands not just for a business; it symbolises a commitment to superior materials, construction, and finishes across all operations.
In marine piling and civil engineering, DRE Marine & Civils embodies a philosophy of doing the best job possible. With over 14 years of experience, we’ve witnessed the longevity of projects and discerned the impact of materials, equipment, and attitude. Our commitment extends beyond using better materials; it encompasses strategic investments in state-of-the-art plant and equipment and an unwavering determination to overcome challenges.
Central to our ethos is the belief that a project’s lasting strength and visual appeal hinge on the day it is completed. Even before the formal establishment of DRE Marine & Civils, our goal has consistently been to provide unparalleled quality. From the outset, we sought alternative methods, not just for our benefit but for the benefit of our clients. Our commitment to innovation is evident in the early adoption of Ekki, a dense tropical hardwood, and the significant investment in cutting-edge plant and equipment.
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in using battery-powered tools, aligning with our green credentials. Furthermore, our forward-thinking approach extends to acquiring modern piling hammers from the Netherlands and France, ensuring efficiency and precision in our operations.
