Utility project management

UPL’s specialist project management service facilitates the timely and cost-effective delivery of utility connections, disconnections, upgrades, and diversions. Our knowledge and experience allow us to offer an unrivalled end-to-end service to ensure that your project is carried out on time and within budget. Offering a complete service, from feasibility, design input and approval to management of the utilities during the works, we have successfully mitigated millions of pounds worth of utility costs on behalf of our clients.

Our primary aim is to add value by providing:

• An overview of the supply and demand of the project in relation to utilities, to ensure the optimum design solution
• A better understanding of the likely project, operational utility risks and possible mitigation measures
• Reduced utility costs for the utility infrastructure works
• Certainty and speed of delivery

Our expert team will examine every aspect of your project and recommend the most effective solution to perfectly match your requirements. This service normally results in a saving of at least 10-15% on overall costs to ensure that, in many cases, our utility project management service is entirely self-funding.

We can conduct in-depth site surveys and, where applicable, we will also provide design and feasibility facilities. Our specialist wayleaves department can resolve any legal issues that may arise.

UPL’s entire project management delivery is modelled on Prince II methodology and we have developed a robust and highly sophisticated web-enabled software package to ensure successful delivery of all projects. Our utility project management system (UPMS) is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week to enable clients to view progress of their project at all times. Fully web-enabled, the system provides a complete picture of progress site-by-site and gives full details of the connection management process. We can also provide secure web portals, allowing our clients to have transparent access to the progress of their projects.
