Technical Completion Report: Multi-Utility Installation – London

Cascade Water Services recently completed a full multi-utility installation in London, delivering the entire scope of works — including a full carriageway road crossing, dual footpath excavations, and installation of gas, electric, and water services — within a 5-day operational window.

Project Scope and Requirements

The works involved the installation of new gas, electric, and potable water service to the boundary of a new residential property. Key elements of the scope included:

Compliance and Technical Standards

All works were carried out in strict accordance with relevant national standards and statutory requirements, including:

Utility service routes were designed and installed to maintain appropriate separation, depth, and protection in accordance with NJUG positioning requirements to ensure future maintainability, safety, and asset protection.

Execution Methodology

  1. Traffic Management & Road Closure A pre-agreed road closure was implemented to allow safe excavation across the carriageway. TM teams installed advanced warning signage, diversion signage, pedestrian management systems, and site protection barriers in full compliance with Chapter 8 and Red Book requirements.

  2. Excavation & Duct Installation

  3. Backfilling & Reinstatement All trenches were backfilled using Type 1 MOT and compacted in accordance with NRSWA specification. Carriageway and footpath reinstatement was completed using hot lay asphalt, paving and concrete where applicable, and compliant surface finishes. The site was fully reinstated to pre-works condition.

Programme Performance

Although the project had a one-week programme allowance, Cascade Water Services successfully delivered the entire works in 5 working days. This included:

The accelerated delivery was achieved through coordinated planning, skilled operatives, and proactive on-site management.

Conclusion

This project demonstrates Cascade Water Services’ capability to deliver technically complex, multi-utility installations efficiently, safely, and in full compliance with statutory and industry standards. Our team continues to support developers, contractors, and property owners with reliable solutions for water, gas, and electrical infrastructure across London and the surrounding regions.
