Summary

Background

United Living Energy, design, build, and maintain critical national infrastructure on behalf of UK energy transmission and distribution network owners, ensuring continued resilience of our energy system. With a key focus on decarbonisation, we’re here to support our clients such as Cadent and BP, with the transition to net zero. We’re proud to work with the UK’s major gas transmission owner operators, to provide a complete turnkey service for pipeline infrastructure and associated above ground network assets.

  • Our in-house specialisms include:
  • Installation of cross-country pipelines
  • Fabrication of pipework
  • Engineering design
  • Major capital project management

Across our project sites, the current bog mats that are used are created out of timber, which although being an effective and robust solution can be wasteful across large projects. Therefore, United Living are seeking alternative solutions for the current timber bog mats being used.
