Utilities

We deliver critical infrastructure across the utilities sector, supporting the installation, protection and diversion of power, gas, water and communications networks that underpin communities and industry. Our success in complex tunnelling and underground works translates directly into the utilities environment, where congested corridors, live services and third-party asset interfaces demand engineering-led planning and disciplined delivery.

Our capability covers enabling works, trenching, pipe installation, auger boring and complex diversions for both transmission and distribution assets. We frequently deliver works beneath roads, railways, rivers and sensitive third-party infrastructure, applying trenchless methodologies such as microtunnelling and HDD to minimise disruption while maintaining precise alignment and asset protection.

Working within live operational environments requires a clear understanding of network continuity and safety obligations. Our teams are trained to manage the sensitivities associated with live gas, high-voltage power and pressurised water infrastructure, implementing robust isolation procedures, protection measures and real-time monitoring throughout construction. Asset protection, settlement control and regulatory compliance are embedded within our methodology from the outset.

We support major infrastructure schemes through the delivery of cable diversions and utility relocations, sequencing works carefully to uphold network continuity and minimise disruption to the public and surrounding assets. Our experience extends to the construction of underground duct networks, chambers, jointing pits and route corridors for fibre optic and communication services, ensuring resilient digital connectivity alongside traditional utilities.

Urban delivery is supported by close coordination with statutory undertakers, local authorities and stakeholders. Careful logistics planning, phased construction and integrated traffic management ensure that disruption is controlled while programme certainty is maintained.

Our involvement in schemes such as the Tolmount Gas Pipeline, works associated with A9 Lynbeg Bridge, and Beckton Sewage Treatment Works (STW) demonstrates our ability to deliver complex utility infrastructure within constrained and highly regulated environments.

By combining trenchless expertise, disciplined asset protection and collaborative stakeholder management, we provide a trusted utilities capability, delivering safe, resilient and future-ready infrastructure across the UK and international markets.
