Welcome to Connectus Utilities
Welcome to Connectus Utilities
We provide safe and compliant utility diversions for electricity, gas, water, sewer and telecoms for your project.
Connectus provides comprehensive Utility Diversion services, managing the relocation or modification of existing utility infrastructure to enable construction or redevelopment projects. We offer full management of diversion projects, coordination with utility providers and local authorities, and compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
Power lines, both underground and overhead, are frequently moved to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply and prevent hazards.
Gas mains may need to be diverted to reduce risks, particularly in high-traffic construction areas whilst maintaining uninterrupted gas supply throughout the project.
Pipes carrying water or wastewater may need to be redirected to avoid interference with building foundations or other construction elements.
Fiber optic cables, broadband lines, and telephone lines may need rerouting to avoid service disruptions and support the smooth progress of your development project.
Partnering with Connectus for your utility diversion means working with a single, trusted point of contact for all your needs. Our team has expertise in multi-utility coordination and regulatory compliance, ensuring every stage of your project is carefully managed and fully compliant with legal and safety requirements.
Our integrated approach combines feasibility studies, detailed planning, and Net Zero strategies to support your project goals. Each solution is tailored to your specific requirements, delivering cost-effective outcomes that fit with your timelines and minimise disruption to surrounding infrastructure and stakeholders.
We work with developers on new-build projects, ensuring they progress smoothly with timely, compliant utility diversions and disconnections.
Connectus supports contractors with safe, coordinated utility diversions that minimise delays and keep sites operational.
Live industrial sites often come with complex disconnections, Connectus can manage this process whilst prioritising safety and efficiency.
We can offer expert guidance early in the design process to mitigate risk and integrate utility considerations seamlessly.
We deliver specialist disconnection support for energy-sector developments such as renewable energy infrastructure and power station projects.
Our Utility Diversion process follows 5 simple steps:
01
Initial Assessment – We start by reviewing your site plans and identifying affected utilities.
02
Design & Planning – We will then develop a diversion strategy and secure any necessary approvals.
03
Applications & Permits – Connectus will coordinate with the relevant utility providers and submit any requests needed to begin work.
04
Execution – Our team will coordinate and oversee diversion work, ensuring it is completed safely and to standard.
05
Completion & Handover – Once the project is complete, we will provide documentation and final sign-off.
Utility diversion is the process of relocating or modifying existing utility infrastructure to accommodate construction or redevelopment. It ensures that essential services remain safe and operational throughout the project.
Utility diversions typically take 8-16 weeks, depending on complexity and provider response times. Early planning helps avoid unnecessary delays. The timeline can extend into several months for larger services and main supplies.
In most cases, the developer or project owner is responsible for covering the cost of utility diversions.
Utility diversions are essential to keeping projects on track. They help prevent construction delays, ensure safety, and allow projects to proceed without conflicts.
We offer a number of related services for your diversion project, to ensure safe and efficient completion without delays or complications.
Do you have an idea for a new project?
Connectus can assess its feasibility, helping you identify potential challenges, risks, and key considerations before you start. For construction or excavation projects, we conduct a PAS128 survey to locate underground utilities, giving you the insight needed to plan with confidence.
High Voltage (HV) Secondary Substations are a critical part of the electrical distribution network that transforms high voltage electricity from the transmission or primary distribution network into lower voltages suitable for local distribution and consumer use that can be safely delivered to homes and businesses.
Connectus provides a Meter Disconnection service for businesses and developers, ensuring safe, compliant removal of electricity or gas meters during property demolition, redevelopment, or tenancy changes.
We manage the entire process from application to physical disconnection.
