Every utility.
Every kind of scheme.
Gas, water, electric, telecoms. A mains replacement through a town centre, or a cross-country main across twelve farms. XGrid turns the scheme into a plan the week it lands — sections, phases, traffic management, consents and the pack to hand over. The dates stay yours.
A high street and an open field are not the same job.
So XGrid does not pretend they are. The planning engine is shared; the rules, the constraints and the paperwork are not. You pick the kind of scheme when you set it up, and everything downstream follows.
Streetworks
Replacement and new connections in the public highway, where the street is the unit the notice is raised against and the traffic management decides the programme.
- Every section carries the street it is actually on, and the reference the notice goes against
- Work that goes in together is grouped into one phase: one setup, one set of dates
- Bus stops, signalled junctions and crossings raised against the phase that has to deal with them
- Move the start date and the whole programme moves with it, lead-ins checked as it goes
Cross-country
Major linear infrastructure across open ground — trunk mains, transmission, long rural runs. No street, no USRN, and a programme set by output, land and the seasons rather than by traffic.
- The route chained end to end, so every point on it has a number everyone can refer to
- Put in your team's weekly output and the work splits itself into weeks — no lines to draw by hand
- Open cut and trenchless treated as the different jobs they are, with the drilling team's own programme dropped in
- Landowners, easements and the letters that have to go out before anyone works that parcel
- Consents, licences and seasonal windows counted back from the date the work needs them
Everything a scheme needs, in one place.
Built by someone who has planned this work and walked it — not a generic project tool with utilities bolted on the side.
Takes the scheme as it comes
Whatever the client sends through, XGrid reads it and puts it where it belongs on the ground. Multi-sheet schemes are handled sheet by sheet, at the right scale, first time.
Sections that behave
Sections number themselves in the order the work actually goes in. Join two when the gang runs them together, split one when something gets in the way. Everything downstream keeps up.
The right street, every time
Nobody types a street name. Every section carries the street it genuinely sits on, including the ones the drawing never labelled — which is what stops a notice going on the wrong road.
Traffic management, worked out
The setups are grouped into phases with one set of dates each, and where the plan is missing something XGrid tells you what belongs there and offers to put it in. Nothing lands without your say-so.
Everything that does not add up
One list before anything leaves the building: a date that cannot work, a lead-in already gone, a street with nothing drawn on it, a stop or a crossing the plan has not accounted for.
The hand-over pack
The workbook, the printable plan, the drawing request, the programme. Nothing is submitted for you — XGrid never raises a notice and never invents a duration.
A plan somebody can actually work from.
Street by street in the highway, chainage by chainage in the field. Same platform, same discipline, and in both cases you put the dates in. XGrid never guesses one.
Planning is the first half.
A plan is a guess until the work happens. The next stage of XGrid follows the scheme all the way through delivery, so the business finds out what it is actually capable of — and plans the next one from that instead of from memory.
Phases ticked off as they finish, with what really happened recorded against what was planned. One tap on site, not a form.
Where the programme held and where it slipped, by team and by authority — your own history handed back to you, never a guess.
Pipe, fittings, plant and the people, priced off the scheme as drawn, with subcontractor quotes read in and carried through to the total.
Which ones are on track, which need moving, who is free next week. Teams to managers to the board, one chain.
A phase that collides with somebody else's works found at the desk rather than at the pre-start meeting.
Eventually the first draft of the plan comes from everything the business has done before, and the engineer's job is to check it rather than build it.
Every utility.
Every kind of scheme.
Per-scheme planning packs, a monthly planning retainer, or early access to the platform. Streetworks today, cross-country alongside it, and the delivery half close behind.
