For water companies there is a never-ending challenge to boost capacity, minimise leakage and improve security.

Since the 1960s we have become synonymous with water engineering throughout the south east. We’ve undertaken a huge range of projects and have unrivalled experience in working with “live” water, without contaminating or interrupting supplies.

Our expertise ranges from some of the region’s largest reservoir projects (such as the award-winning renovation of the Paradise Reservoir) and complex water treatment works (including re-roofing the Elmer Water Treatment Works).

I would like to express my gratitude to your operative’s effort today on site. He was integral today in helping us complete the task of the cable install and partial backfill to bury the new cable. He aided other contractors, by coming up with ideas to make the task as easy as possible and implementing these ideas. He worked to a high standard and when seeing something not being done correctly would point it out and rectify it himself.
