Services

Construction and civil engineering

In-house experts handle all civil works including trenching, ducting and foundations with strict safety standards and clear project management to ensure your electrical infrastructure is built correctly from day one.

Every electrical project depends on solid construction. We deliver civil engineering services that integrate seamlessly with electrical works, giving you one partner for the full build.

Our in‑house experts manage groundworks, trenching, ducting, and reinstatement, alongside the installation of pre‑cast bases and low-voltage panel cabinet foundations. By combining civil engineering and electrical expertise, we keep projects moving without delays and avoid the complications of multiple contractors.

We plan carefully and work to the highest safety standards, making sure each site is prepared correctly before installation begins. From large depots and substations to residential developments, our civil engineering team brings practical experience and technical expertise to every project. You get clear communication, disciplined project management, and works delivered on time and within budget.

With us, construction and civil engineering are not a separate step but part of a complete turnkey service. That means your infrastructure is built right from the ground up, ready for energisation, and designed to perform reliably for years to come.

Key benefits of construction and civil engineering services

Safe and compliant

Civil works delivered to strict compliance standards.

Efficient

Integrated delivery keeps projects on schedule.

High quality

Durable construction that supports long-term performance.

Dedicated project management

You'll be assigned a dedicated project manager who will be responsible for ensuring your project is delivered on time and on budget – they will be your main point of contact throughout the entire scope of work.

Upfront site surveys

If you need power but don’t know how where to begin, we can conduct an initial site survey to assess physical constraints, load requirements, future expansion needs, environmental and planning considerations, and land ownership and easements required for cable routes.

Point of connection and design

Our experts will liaise with the distribution network operator (DNO) to obtain the point of connection. We will then develop a detailed electrical design which will be compliant with DNO specifications and local regulations.

Civil works and trenching

We will complete the excavation of trenches for cable routes, install ducting systems, construct foundations for substations, and build transformer plinths – while ensuring proper drainage and reinstatement post-installation.

Electrical installation, testing, commissioning, and energisation

To complete the connection, we install the high-voltage and low-voltage cables into the ducts. We also carry out jointing and terminations works to connect the cables, along with switchgear, transformers, and associated protection/control equipment.

We then complete commissioning and energisation tests while coordinating with the DNO for final inspection. On completion, you will receive handover documentation, as-built drawings, and safety certificates.

Utility Line provide a personable, quick solution meeting all deadlines and budget requirements. The technical and civil engineering teams are extremely good at overcoming any obstacle, proving invaluable in challenging environments. The level of support and customer care exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to working with them in the future.
