key challenges

Due to the project’s location within residential streets, Jaydo endeavoured to address all concerns raised by the public promptly to minimise disruption to local residents and businesses. In addition, multiple driveway and road crossings were carried out as part of the pipeline construction, with the Jaydo team ensuring customer consolation was undertaken and early notification sent to local residents. This allowed Jaydo to complete the required works efficiently and with minimal disruption to locals.
