Your engineered temporary works for water and utilities projects

We support utility contractors and civil engineering teams with specialist temporary works and monitoring. From treatment works and pumping stations to pipelines and reservoirs, we provide the knowledge and expertise to manage all your temporary works requirements safely and efficiently. We deliver engineered temporary works solutions for every aspect of water and utilities infrastructure from lightweight equipment solutions and culvert excavations to pipeline resilience, flood prevention, water treatment works, and network upgrades. These projects demand safe excavation, precise water control, and robust environmental protection in often restricted or high-risk settings.

Safety and stability first
Temporary works in the water sector are critical to maintaining safety, stability, and environmental compliance. Whether you’re constructing new assets or maintaining ageing infrastructure, our engineered solutions protect your workforce, safeguard the public, and keep essential water services flowing.
Complex project environments
Water utility projects often take place in confined or sensitive environments — including live treatment sites, flood-prone areas, and restricted easements. Our engineers design bespoke temporary works to suit these conditions, reducing risk, minimising disruption, and maintaining full operational continuity.
Protecting the environment
With water quality, ecology, and sustainability at the heart of every project, our approach supports compliance with environmental regulations. From monitoring vibration and ground movement to preventing contamination and managing runoff, we help ensure your works stay safe, responsible, and within permitted limits.

All backed is backed by in-house engineering expertise

Our modular equipment range—including lightweight equipment, trench boxes, hydraulic bracing, cofferdams, and sheet piling is backed by in-house engineering expertise and real-time digital monitoring. Unlike standalone hire providers, we offer a complete, engineered package designed for the unique challenges of water utilities—reducing interfaces, minimizing environmental impact, and ensuring project efficiency from start to finish.
