We're leading a study in collaboration with Wales & West Utilities to explore how their industrial and commercial customers could transition to a lower carbon network through a #hydrogen blend or conversion. 🌳🌍 Our goal? To help WWU identify customers who might need additional support during a transition. How? By gauging users' current understanding of hydrogen refuelling plans and getting to know their preferred means of #decarbonisation.

As we near the end of the #AMP8 tender cycle, Sam White, our managing director of natural resources, has written in the Water Industry Journal about the future priorities for the #water sector and, importantly, what it means for consumers. Population growth, regulation and climate change are having a dramatic impact on the UK’s water usage, and the national approach to managing water supply is evolving to meet these challenges. To help deliver the upgrades that are necessary for this critical infrastructure, water companies are increasingly turning to #enterprise models. Together we can combine our ideas, skills and knowledge to encourage world-class #collaboration across the supply chain. 👉 You can read Sam’s thoughts in full here: https://bit.ly/3TmAqHa 💧 For more detail on how we deliver best-in-class solutions for our customers in the water sector, click here: https://bit.ly/4glLEFs #TransformingPerformance

It was fantastic to celebrate the completion of one of our first projects at Heathrow Airport, the dismantling of the former Starlight Point welfare and office building, with our customer Heathrow and partners Hughes and Salvidge Ltd, Swain Group and Wilson James. As a collaborative team, we innovated to deliver our programme of works safely and efficiently, while enabling the modules to be repurposed for future use. This project took place next to Terminal 2, in the congested Central Terminal Area. We carefully removed and then transported all 307 modules to the Colnbrook Logistics Centre via the main tunnel, with daytime #airport operations continuing apace. #SustainableInfrastructure #TransformingPerformance
