Capabilities

Mid Kent Water offers a full turn-key Multi-Utility operation for developers and other commercial customers. Mid Kent Water has undertaken many dual-lay Water and Gas installations for a number of developers.

We have a full understanding of our customers’ needs for a one-stop operation with regards to laying the range of utility services, including water, gas, power, telecoms and other cable communications.

Through its strategic partnerships with several principal utility contractors, Mid Kent Water offers: design, installation, testing and commissioning services for all utility mains infrastructure.

In addition Mid Kent Water will liaise with the nominated energy supplier to project manage all metering requirements on behalf of its customers.

Mid Kent Water talks the same language as all the major utility companies because it is one. This understanding is essential in order to negotiate the red tape, inherent with individual installation, in order to provide the most economically advantageous solution to utility connections.

More importantly Mid Kent Water understands that delivery and connection on time is essential to the success of each and every project.

A fully project managed turnkey service is provided, adopting a one stop shop approach that includes all of the following elements:

• Application for supply
• Network Design
• Design approval
• Liaison with incumbent license holder (water, gas, electric, telecom etc.)
• Co-ordination of incumbent license holder (e.g. off-site works)
• Mains installation, testing and commissioning
• Adoption of new mains infrastructure (by incumbent / independent license holders)
• Co-ordination service connections
• Materials and logistics management
• Meter registration (MPAN and MPRN allocation by supplier)
• Meter installation
• Record and forward meter data to suppliers

Multi utility provides tangible commercial benefits by leveraging economies of scale and increased efficiencies. Less obvious and intangible benefits are derived from taking ownership of the end to end process, from design to commissioning and registration of the meter. This traditionally monopolistic service has resulted in a lengthy drawn out procedure that does not reflect today’s requirement to provide a fast and efficient solution for utility customers.

By giving the responsibility of co-ordinating the installation of all utilities to one service provider, developers can concentrate on their core business of building and construction, not the management of historically inefficient utility companies.
