Disconnections and diversions

Don’t allow utility disconnections and diversions
to become an afterthought

You should not overlook the crucial step of organising utility disconnections and diversions at the beginning of a development project. Failing to do so can have significant impacts and delays on project timelines. It is critical for clients to undertake a feasibility study to fully understand the existing infrastructure before commencing with works as the complexity and scale of the existing infrastructure on a site often surprises them.

After completing a feasibility study, it is essential to start organising the works as soon as possible. Organising diversions and disconnections requires a significant amount of time and effort, especially in cases where multiple developments are being fed from infrastructure situated on your land. Therefore, it’s important to tackle these works sooner rather than later so as to avoid any delays to the timeline of your project.

What are utility diversions?

Utility diversions refer to the process of moving or rerouting public utility services, such as gaswater, and electricity, to allow for construction work or other development projects to take place. Ensuring the safety and integrity of public utilities while allowing for progress and development to occur is crucial in this process.

Planning utility diversions

To ensure a smooth and seamless process for utility diversions, there are several factors to consider. The planning phase, for example, is a crucial step that requires careful analysis to determine the best course of action. This involves assessing the potential impact on the surrounding area. Ultimately, we aim to minimise disruption to the public while ensuring that we carry out the utility diversion as efficiently and safely as possible.

What are utility disconnections?

Organising utility disconnections can be a daunting task, but it’s crucial for ensuring a smooth and safe construction or development project. Before starting any work, it’s important to identify which utilities need to be disconnected and for how long. This can involve coordinating with various utility companies, such as gaselectricitywater, and telecommunications providers.
