Understanding and defining the utilities requirements (foul drainage, potable water, gas, electricity and telecoms) for a development at an early stage can be fundamental to the success of a project overall.
At feasibility stage, determining abnormal costs, such as those for utility reinforcement, is crucial when looking at the viability of schemes. Similarly, having an understanding of how utilities can service a site and influence or constrain development layouts is an important part of delivering a sustainable masterplan.
Service diversions can also be a major burden to schemes, as the scope, cost and nature of diversions are sometimes not fully understood until schemes are well progressed and can cause delays to construction and increased costs. Coordination with landscaping and drainage proposals is also important.
At AWP, we understand the value to projects of having a utilities strategy and plan which considers abnormal costs, supplies, coordination and diversion of services. Experience tells us that considering these elements early on in a project can deliver real value and mitigate the risks and costs associated with services.
