Welcome to Connectus Utilities
The assets that local authorities possess are ever-changing, with environmental and economic factors presenting a strain on resources.
Due to these challenges, buildings are sold off, acquired and repurposed, with commercial and residential sites often varying in function.
The risks and benefits, along with cost considerations, require accurate forecasting, for budget certainty, along with rationale for actions taken.
This client, the council in a London borough, possesses a large portfolio that contains multiple types of commercial and residential properties.
In the ever-changing world of utility infrastructure, even identifying where historical connections are placed can be a challenge, which Connectus Utilities were able to resolve.
Detailing the location of electric, gas, water, telecoms, surface sewer and foul sewer infrastructure, for 51 different sites, was a major undertaking.
Some sites needed the information as a pressing matter, requiring a quick turnaround, so were prioritised accordingly and delivered on time.
Of most importance, to these reports, was a summary of how infrastructure affected the council’s land, where their nearest connection points, mains and-or substation were.
From the reports, the council were able to pinpoint how this affects their developments and what may need connecting, disconnecting or diverting.
The land can be built upon, or better utilised, with peace of mind and complete knowledge of how any action will affect utility requirements.
This client can now prepare for next steps, relating to their planning, in full possession of the facts, which allows them to make informed decisions.
The asset base should be structured in their best interests, which has been facilitated by enlisting outside support that proved to be invaluable.
The council came to Connectus to call upon their industry knowledge. They now know how feasible their original intentions are likely to be and can adapt accordingly.
They saved time, money and hassle by being involved, so that the customer could concentrate on more pressing matters and move forward, with utilities, for the sites.
In the ever-evolving landscape of utility infrastructure, time is money and every decision that you make should be a strategic one. Connectus Utilities is not just a service – It’s a change on how you should manage your utility needs.
