A BRIEF HISTORY  
Origins
The specialist tunnelling business of PTL (c.e.) Limited began in 1971 as a division of Stepney Contractors Limited, which had been granted a licence to install the British patented MINI TUNNEL system of tunnelling.
As divisional manager, David Peak was involved in a partial buy-out which saw the creation of Stepney Tunnelling Limited.
Independence
In 1987, the buy-out was completed and Stepney sold its minority interest in the company to David Peak and Ken Thurlow. Thus PTL (c.e.) LIMITED now had its own identity.
The Nineties
PTL's reputation has grown over the years, with the completion of many varied tunnelling contracts, involving a certain amount of design input. Our portfolio includes the construction of a significant amount of tunnelling using non-patented BOLTED and SMOOTHBORE systems, PIPEJACKING, and traditional TIMBERED HEADING methods.
In other fields, specialist work is carried out on SEWER RENOVATION, including GRP, GRC, PCC relining, refurbishment, and PCC repair techniques, refurbishment using guniting and pressure pointing, reconstruction of brickwork and pressure grouting.
We have carried out contracts overseas in Egypt, Italy, France, Germany, Denmark and Ireland.
To promote greater efficiency, we are a recognised partner with Birse plc as a specialist subcontractor for tunnelling works.
