KEEPING BEWL WORKS ON TRACK WITH 48-HOUR TURNAROUND
CHALLENGE
During critical works at South East Water’s Bewl site, a major failure on key mechanical fittings halted progress, putting the schedule and downstream activities at risk. Immediate action was needed to avoid costly delays.
OUR SOLUTION
Fusion Utilities’ Water team rapidly identified and sourced the correct fittings through our supply chain. Our branch and logistics network was mobilised to deliver direct to site within 48 hours, restoring progress without the need to reprogramme.
OUTCOME
- Full site operations restored within two days
- Programme delays completely avoided
- Reinforced confidence for Project Manager
- Project went on to win Project of the Year at company awards
CUTTING 20+ WEEKS FROM SUBSTATION DELIVERY SCHEDULES
CHALLENGE
Substation builds traditionally require lead times of up to 24 weeks due to component sourcing, manufacturing slots and logistics complexity. Delays in energisation schedules increase costs and risk across programmes.
OUR SOLUTION
Fusion Utilities’ Power team, supported by Jointing Tech, transformed the procurement model by strategically holding £3 million in approved substation materials in stock at all times. This allowed us to consolidate all required components into a single, managed delivery.
OUTCOME
- Delivered from quote to on-site in under 4 weeks
- Over 20 weeks saved on typical industry lead times
- Simplified procurement with single supplier, single delivery, single invoice
- Fewer deliveries, reducing carbon emissions and site disruption
AWARD-WINNING COLLABORATION SAVES TIME, COST AND CARBON
CHALLENGE
A complex ground engineering project required high-volume material movement, risking delays, excessive haulage and high CO₂ output.
OUR SOLUTION
Burdens worked in close partnership with Galliford Try to re-engineer the supply approach - reducing vehicle movements and on-site handling with a smarter logistics and materials plan.
OUTCOME
- Ground Engineering Awards 2024 Finalist (Time, Cash, Carbon)
- 444 vehicle movements reduced to just 10
- Significant days shaved from programme
- Major project cost savings
- CO₂ impact substantially reduced
DELIVERING SAFELY AND COMPLIANTLY ON HS2
CHALLENGE
HS2 is one of the UK’s highest-profile, most strictly controlled infrastructure projects. Deliveries faced stringent security protocols, tight site access windows and strict compliance requirements.
OUR SOLUTION
Our experienced logistics teams worked closely with HS2 site managers to plan and coordinate all deliveries, ensuring full compliance with security requirements and site protocols. We leveraged our FORS-accredited fleet and trained drivers to execute safe, reliable deliveries into these high-security sites.
OUTCOME
- All deliveries met strict site security and scheduling requirements
- Zero non-compliance issues or delays attributed to supply
- Demonstrated capability to support complex, regulated infrastructure projects
