Trenchless Australasia’s Post

From humble beginnings to an infrastructure powerhouse - Clancy's 66-year journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Founded in 1958 by Michael J. Clancy, the business started in Wembley as a small contractor tackling drainage and roadworks. Fast forward to 2024, and Clancy is delivering multimillion-pound projects for clients like Southern Water, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, and UK Power Networks - cementing its status as one of the UK’s most trusted infrastructure specialists. In 2023-24, Clancy posted record-breaking results for the sixth consecutive year: ✅ £378.5 million turnover (up 13%) ✅ £20.9 million pre-tax profit (a 54.8% increase!) ✅ A robust £1.5 billion order book securing long-term growth. Clancy doesn’t just build; it evolves - reinvesting £11.2 million in cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art equipment to boost productivity and efficiency. This commitment empowers its teams to deliver vital infrastructure, including HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd bridge foundations and track drainage. Under CEO Matthew Cannon, the third generation of Clancy leadership, the company remains fiercely committed to its people, partnerships, and purpose. Whether driving the green transition, expanding water frameworks for AMP8, or pioneering industry-first innovations (microtunneling in 1990!), Clancy keeps raising the bar. From a one-man band to an infrastructure dynasty, Clancy proves family values and bold ambition can shape the nation’s future. Cheers to 66 years of building better! 👉 Want more stories like this?

The winners have been announced for the ‘Strategic Delivery Partner’ and ‘Infrastructure Low Complexity Delivery Route’ frameworks by Southern Water, marking a pivotal moment in their preparation for the 2025-30 regulatory investment period. Under the 'Strategic Delivery Partner' framework, major projects such as new #pipelines and #pumping stations will be overseen by firms like Costain Group PLC, MWH Treatment, KIER INTEGRATED SERVICES LIMITED, and Galliford Try (#Construction). Additionally, Morrison Water Services will handle #infrastructure works. On the other hand, the 'Infrastructure Low Complexity Delivery Route' framework will focus on water or waste projects, with companies like Clancy, United Living Group (#InfrastructureServices), and Barhale Ltd working on water-related tasks. For wastewater projects, Clancy Docwra Limited, J Browne Construction Co. Ltd, and Morrison Utility Services have been selected. The total value of these frameworks amounts to approximately £3.7bn, with the 'Strategic Delivery Partner' contract lasting seven years and the 'Low Complexity Delivery Route' deal spanning five years, both with extension options.

Infrastructure is the lifeline of our local communities. Done well, civil infrastructure involving electric power, oil and gas, water, transportation and more can change lives for the better by promoting economic opportunity, equity, sustainability and safety. Trilon Group, an Alpine Investors-backed civil engineering and infrastructure consulting firm platform, invests in talent, technology and targeted M&A of top firms to deliver effective infrastructure solutions that might, in turn, bring about such sustainability benefits. As featured in our 2024 Force For Good report, partnering with Trilon helps infrastructure firms do more for their mission. Take Alta Planning + Design, for example. The Portland, Oregon-based firm’s core purpose is to mitigate climate change and advance safety and social justice through sustainable mobility. Prior to joining Trilon Group in 2022, Alta was known nationally as a leader in the planning and design of sustainable and progressive infrastructure, including bike paths and outdoor trails. Enter Trilon. Trilon partnered with Alta in August of 2022 and immediately made growth investments to help Alta scale. These growth investments have been game-changing for Alta. Growth allows Alta’s employees to achieve new career opportunities they never would have had before, while the firm is able to deliver more sustainable projects than ever before. To learn more about Trilon and Alta's impact in 2023, read the full case study in our 2024 Force For Good report or on our website: https://lnkd.in/ehzhJDwK

7 ways UK infrastructure clients are speeding up concrete decarbonisation The Infrastructure Client Group (ICG) is a coalition of the UK’s most progressive economic infrastructure clients. It aims to lead on speeding up the improvement and alignment of how infrastructure is delivered and developed in the UK for the benefit of the economy, society and the environment. In September 2023, the group’s Concrete Decarbonisation Accelerator programme brought together nine member organisations of the ICG’s Infrastructure Carbon Task Group. They all recognised the need for a consistent way to reduce their carbon impacts more quickly. The initiative, supported by WSP and Expedition Engineering, has since created seven commitments designed to achieve that goal.

Expedition’s Infrastructure Performance Consulting (IPC) team, in collaboration with WSP, are proudly supporting the Infrastructure Client Group (ICG) on their Concrete Decarbonisation Accelerator program. 💡 Launched at the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)’s London headquarters in June 2024, this initiative brought together nine of the UK’s most progressive infrastructure clients to accelerate carbon reduction in construction. Through collaborative leadership, the group developed seven key commitments to reduce the carbon impact of concrete - making significant strides in the decarbonisation of heavy construction. 🗨 Pete Winslow, Director at Expedition IPC, commented: “It's fantastic to see this ‘demand side’ initiative being launched into the public domain by the combined group of infrastructure clients. We’ve worked as industry advisors to the ICG on this topic for a couple of years now, and we know that decarbonising heavy construction is hard, but client leadership and supply chain collaboration is key.” The team are continuing to support our clients in developing their plans and taking actions to implement their commitments from the Accelerator programme. Working alongside WSP, we are also hosting the ongoing ICG/Infrastructure Low Carbon Concrete Working Group which gives the clients space to work on collaborative action and share progress. 📑 Read more about how UK infrastructure clients are speeding up concrete decarbonisation in the ICE blog - https://lnkd.in/enKsjygd.  Expedition's ICG team: Pete Winslow | Mike Sefton | Rachel De Matei | Bruce Martin #ConcreteDecarbonisation #InfrastructurePerformance #CarbonReduction
