Formerly Scottish Water Contracting, we provide utility network and lead pipe replacement solutions across the whole of Scotland.

As Scottish Water’s in-house contractor, we’ve amassed years of experience centred around managing, installing and upgrading asset infrastructure.

By looking at each job individually, we ensure that you receive a structured programme of works that is specific to your particular infrastructure needs.

How we can help you progress your networks


Installing your utilities

We manage the installation of all utility networks to new developments to ensure the smooth progression of your housing and commercial development sites. 

From initial utility design to asset installation we take a holistic view in everything we do to ensure you receive a professional and cost effective service that you can rely on.

Using specialist trench-less technology, we keep excavations to a minimum, reducing  environmental impact and lowering your reinstatement costs.

More recently, we’ve been managing the installation of high-speed broadband in Scottish Water’s sewer infrastructure.


Replacing your ageing lead pipes

By 2012 the limit for lead found in drinking water must decrease by over 50% to meet tighter European standards.

We offer a fully managed end-to-end service to replace your lead pipes safely, cost effectively and with minimum disruption.

From the property boundary to the internal stopcock and lead-lined storage tanks, we also arrange for Scottish Water to replace the public water main to the property boundary so that the whole process is taken care of from beginning to end.


Installing innovative district heating networks

Going forward, we’re also looking to install district heating networks using specialist water pipes to provide a sustainable source of heat to local homes and businesses throughout Scotland.


Working with you

We work closely with you to ensure that you’re happy with your job every step of the way.  To keep you up to speed with developments, we appoint you with a dedicated project manager so that you know exactly who to contact for any enquiries. 


Ensuring you get the best

We leave no stone unturned.  When it comes to ensuring you receive a high quality service, we employ only the best.

All our operatives are fully trained and qualified in a broad range of technical and health and safety certifications, so that you can relax knowing that your network requirement is in the hands of experts.
