Street-by-street sequencing, realistic durations, TM strategy and NRSWA notice timelines for your mains replacement schemes, planned by an engineer who has delivered them on the ground.
Project Delivery. Made Easy.
Tell us about your programme and we'll send our terms, rates and a sample push plan.
What You Get
Every push plan is built from your scheme drawings and planned the way your gangs actually work, so your streetworks team can permit against it and your managers can spend their time on site.
Planned to your preferred method, live or dead insertion, with gang deployment set out section by section.
Durations based on real delivery experience, to reduce the risk of overruns, Section 74 charges and FPNs.
A traffic management approach for every street, with CAD TM drawings coordinated with your TM provider under your job number.
Notice and permit timelines built back from your start date, with traffic-sensitive streets and school proximity accounted for.
A roadworks conflict check across the scheme area and proposed diversion routes where closures are needed.
An assessment of whether the scheme is a High Profile Project, with tailored communication for residents and road users to cut complaints.
Also available: SCO Authorising Engineer support and writing routine operations. Terms of business are available on request.
How It Works
Get set up once, then instruct schemes whenever you need them. A plan is complete when the highway authority approves your notices and your Operations Manager signs it off.
Ways to Work Together
Use XGrid for a one-off scheme that's tricky to plan, or as a planning extension of your team across a rolling programme.
A fixed price per scheme, delivered to an agreed turnaround.
A set number of planning days each month, working as an extension of your team.
Who You'll Work With
No generic planners. Every scheme is planned personally by an engineer who has delivered mains replacement on the ground.
Matt spent over a decade in gas distribution at Wales & West Utilities, planning and delivering mains replacement schemes, before moving into principal contractor project management on major civil and pipeline infrastructure.
He founded XGrid Solutions to give contractors planning they can rely on: plans written with the gangs, the highway authority and the residents in mind.
What's Next
We're building the XGrid platform: AI-assisted planning software that takes the same engineering rules behind our manual push plans and turns a scheme drawing into a draft push plan in a fraction of the time.
Upload the scheme drawing and the platform picks out the streets, pipe lengths, diameters and connection points, ready for planning.
Pulls in street data such as traffic sensitivity, road category and nearby schools, and checks for clashing roadworks across the scheme area.
Applies proven planning rules for sequencing, durations, TM and notice periods to produce a draft plan, which is then checked and signed off by an engineer.
We're starting with gas, then extending to water, electric and telecoms. Before then, we'll also be adding non-routine operation (NRO) writing and MP/IP planning for major infrastructure projects to our planning services.
Companies using our planning service now will be first to trial the platform, and their feedback will shape how it works. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know when early access opens.
