Colloide’s role spans design development, enabling works, main works and long-term operation and maintenance support.
Progress to date, includes enabling works, asbestos removal, temporary bypass pipework, UKPN building construction and preparation for the next phase.
This is live network decarbonisation in practice: complex, phased and dependent on careful integration between civil, mechanical, electrical and controls disciplines.

It can exist across any part of a business, from duplicated administration and unclear handovers to delayed approvals, repeated tasks, missing information and avoidable rework.
Lean manufacturing may begin in the factory, but its impact extends across the full client journey.

Lean manufacturing isn’t just about making things faster.
At Colloide, it’s about removing waste, improving visibility and creating more reliable processes- from design and manufacture through to delivery.
One example of the impact?
We’ve reduced the lead time for targeted manufacturing processes at our Limavady facility from six weeks to six days — a 90% reduction.
That’s Lean translated into real-world client value.
The real value of Lean isn’t just a single number.
It’s the greater confidence that comes from knowing what happens next.

Innovation is essential for the future of the water industry. But for critical infrastructure, innovation alone isn't enough.
As AMP8 begins, utilities need technologies that are proven at scale delivering reliable performance across multiple sites, not just successful pilots.
With record investment planned for AMP8, delivery certainty is more important than ever.
Proven performance reduces risk, supports resilient infrastructure and gives utilities the confidence to deliver long-term value.
Our latest blog explores why proven performance at scale can matter more than innovation alone and what this means for the future of water treatment.

A key challenge in drinking water treatment design is not just performance, but achieving regulatory approval early enough to avoid delays later in delivery.
For lamella separators, approval provides assurance that materials, construction, and performance are suitable for drinking water use—reducing uncertainty during design approval stages.
In practice this means reduced regulatory risk, greater confidence in specification, smoother integration into upgrades, and faster project delivery.

In heat networks, performance isn’t just set in the pipework, it’s set in the energy centre. COP, hydraulics, controls, commissioning; this is where schemes succeed or lose margin over decades.
With zoning accelerating, this is where risk is concentrating.
Fragmented delivery across OEMs, M&E and controls creates performance gaps.
Design vs construction disconnects don’t show at handover, they show in operation.
This is where specialist D&B delivery changes outcomes.
Where does energy centre risk really sit?
Stacey Drennan breaks it down, with lessons from Bunhill 2 and Viking Energy Network Jarrow.
