Multi utility contract secured with key client

May Gurney Utility Services has secured a £1 million contract from Thames Water Commercial to provide multi-utility (water, gas, electric, and BT) infrastructure for the first major regeneration project to get underway in the Thames Gateway.

Situated next to the M25 Queen Elizabeth Toll Bridge alongside the River Thames, the project - which is known as 'The Bridge' - will transform a 264-acre brownfield site into a dynamic new community for Dartford.

When complete, the scheme will comprise 1,500 homes, 1.5 million square feet of business space and a new school.

May Gurney is one of a select group of Independent Connections Providers and Utility Infrastructure Providers successfully accredited by Lloyd's Register for the construction of new LV and HV electricity infrastructure networks up to 33kV, and for gas infrastructure up to 7 barg.

Multi utility from May Gurney offers benefits that far outweigh the traditional single approach. For example, the developer has to deal with just one company and has one main point of contact.

For most new developments multi utility is more cost effective than the traditional single utility approach. The cost savings derived from laying multiple pipes and cables in one trench are passed onto the developer - and with only one trench being dug, there is less site disruption. All the utility pipes and cables are laid at the same time, before the trench is backfilled. With single utility, the trench is re-opened for each utility, which is unnecessary and wastes time.
