Successful utility delivery starts below ground. Our groundworks and enabling works services prepare residential and commercial developments for the safe, compliant installation of gas, water and electrical infrastructure — reducing risk and protecting programme certainty from the outset.
 

By managing critical pre-installation works in a coordinated way, we support developers and principal contractors in creating clear, accessible utility corridors, service routes and compounds. This structured approach prevents delays, avoids clashes on site and ensures utility installation can proceed efficiently.

From early-stage enabling through to final formation, our teams deliver full utility clearance, protection and diversion works, identifying existing services and implementing safe, compliant solutions that keep projects moving. Where required, we also manage complex utility relocations, including substation movements and associated civils, completed to specification and in line with network operator requirements.
 

A key part of our enabling capability is the construction of substation bases and formworks, including foundation preparation, base build-up and all developer-responsibility components required for future cable access and energisation. Delivered with strict quality control, clear documentation and a safety-first approach, this ensures sites are fully prepared for installation and connection.
