Our expertise

Multi Utility Consultants

We specialise in the provision of consultancy services for utilities civil installation projects. Our consultants have a wealth of experience in project management.

UIP is able to provide engineering consultancy, project management services and specialist resources for utilities infrastructure projects, including telecoms, water and electricity connections projects.

A professionally engineered route design can significantly reduce cable and pipeline installation costs. We therefore offer a full route-proving, feasibility and design service for cable and pipe installations, enabling our clients to establish the most cost effective route whilst mitigating risks associated with access, land owner consents, environmental and engineering difficulties.

Services include:

  • Cable & pipeline route feasibility
  • Consenting, survey & design
  • Project management & supervision
  • Specialist cable installation techniques (directional drilling, cable pushing/pulling, thrust boring)

Frequently Asked Questions:

What types of consultancy services do you offer?

We provide expert consultancy across all aspects of utilities civil installation projects, including engineering design, project management, feasibility assessments, route planning, and on-site supervision for telecoms, water, and electricity infrastructure.

How can your consultancy help reduce project costs?

Our professionally engineered route designs help clients identify the most efficient and cost-effective paths for cable and pipeline installations. This early-stage planning can prevent delays, reduce materials and labour costs, and mitigate risks related to access, environmental constraints, or landowner permissions.

Do you manage full projects or just provide consultancy?

We offer both. Our consultants can either integrate into your team to support specific phases of a project or manage the entire project from feasibility to completion, including procurement and site supervision.

Can UIP assist with gaining consents and approvals?

Yes. We manage the consenting process, including liaison with landowners and local authorities, and carry out any required environmental and utility surveys to support planning and compliance.

What specialist installation techniques can you support?

Our consultants have expertise in techniques such as directional drilling, thrust boring, and cable pushing/pulling. We advise on the most appropriate method for each site to optimise efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

How early should we involve your consultancy team?

The earlier, the better. Engaging us during the planning stage allows us to maximise cost savings, identify risks upfront, and streamline the route design and consenting process.
