Construction & Engineering
What we do.
As Scotland grows and towns develop, we need to ensure that the water and waste pipe networks, and treatment plants, can support that new demand as well as plan for the future. We can't do it all by ourselves, so we work in partnership with other organisations to ensure that any fixes or construction are completed efficiently, sustainably and in collaboration with the communities affected.
