In the de-regulated new connections market
place, certain activities that were previously undertaken by the local
utility as monopolies are now classified as being open to competition—or
‘contestable’. The construction of the off-site works in the
public highway is now fully contestable throughout the country and as such
can be undertaken directly on your behalf by specialist companies that have
satisfied the strict requirements of the industry validation and
accreditation scheme administered by Lloyds. Power On staff are fully trained in accordance
with the requirements of the New Roads and Street Works Act and every part of
the process from design through to final commissioning is covered by
comprehensive procedures. We work closely with the local authority and
highways agency to ensure a coordinated approach to highway excavations and
reinstatement. In most cases the main contractor takes on the
role of principal contractor for the on site works but they do not normally
take the role of principal contractor for the off site. All project
management staff are trained to IOSH standards and we have the capabilities
to fulfil the duties under he CDM Regulations as the principle contractor. |
