Upgrade of ‘A Road’ to Motorway
An ‘A road’ in northern England was upgraded to a motorway. This involved removing the roundabouts and junctions along the route, across which utility services needed to be diverted. NRSWA reviewed the costs and arranged refunds for our client.
£86k Refund and Substation Elimination
The construction of a new apartment block in London entailed proposals to install a new substation. NRSWA re-evaluated the scheme and eliminated the need for a substation. This resulted in a refund of £86,307 to our client plus it released the valuable area of land that would otherwise have been occupied by the substation.
£3k Rebate for Telecoms Connections
NRSWA identified an unclaimed rebate of £3,572 for telecoms connections. Accordingly, we liaised with the relevant departments to obtain payment for our client.

Regeneration of a rundown housing estate into 300+ high quality new homes necessitated the alteration of gas mains on which NRSWA arranged a refund of £11,004 for our client.
£14k Refund on Sewer Buildover Works
Regeneration of an area of London entailed building over a public sewer. CCTV surveys were carried out before and after construction to check the condition of the sewer, on which NRSWA organised a refund of £14,016.
£100k Refund on Electricity Undergrounding
The development of 400 homes in a rural area required 33kV overhead electricity cables supported on poles across fields to be re-laid underground with associated costs for new connections. NRSWA liaised with the relevant authorities resulting in a refund of £100,099.
