We pioneered the new opportunities created in the utilities market following its deregulation in 2000 and we continue to push the boundaries of utilities procurement for major sites. 

Today, not only can we reduce our clients’ capital outlay and achieve greater certainty of delivery, we can also apply multi-utility solutions, ‘bundling’ the contestable works for all utilities into one, bringing efficiencies in civil engineering works and other benefits.

The incumbent utility company will adopt correctly installed assets from the contractor, for a fee, but in some cases an independent operator will buy the asset. This provides the operator with an income stream from the asset and the client gains an additional capital contribution.

At a time when many major projects necessitate utility reinforcement works, developers are generally losing confidence in the ability of statutory undertakers to deliver live connections to tight timescales. Our innovative approach and broad experience of utilities procurement removes these difficulties, bringing major benefits to our clients from this developing market.
