Falco’s renewed six-year contract with UK Power Networks highlights safety and sustainability in power infrastructure projects.
UK Power Networks has renewed its groundworks contract with Falco, covering London Power Network and regions across the Home Counties including Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire. This six-year agreement, with options to extend, reflects the importance of consistent, high-quality groundwork in maintaining and upgrading critical electricity infrastructure supporting millions of homes and businesses.
From a construction management perspective, such long-term contracts require rigorous adherence to health and safety protocols and operational excellence. Falco’s record of zero accidents over five years, supported by extensive site audits and toolbox talks, exemplifies the level of oversight necessary to successfully manage complex utility projects in densely populated and heritage-sensitive areas. Their commitment to sustainability, including trials of zero-emissions electric diggers, aligns with the increasing demand for environmentally responsible construction practices in the capital and surrounding counties.
For construction managers overseeing commercial infrastructure projects, this renewal underscores the value of partnering with contractors who prioritise safety, quality, and innovation. Effective management ensures projects not only meet operational requirements but also contribute positively to wider environmental and community objectives. Atico Solutions recognises that such integrated approaches are essential for navigating the evolving landscape of construction in London and the Home Counties.
