🚀 We’re thrilled to announce that the Hydroraft® scheme has been shortlisted for the CIHT Product of the Year Award! 🏆
This recognition is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in infrastructure delivery.

Customer Spotlight
We’re always proud of the work we do, but nothing speaks louder than the words of our customers.
Gwynedd Council recently shared their experience working with us, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their kind words and continued partnership.
“We had a positive experience using Smartraft® for the first time in North Wales on the A55 scheme at Junction 10 to 9. The Smartraft® design team were very helpful and very flexible with the constantly changing design to achieve the final desired layout. The seamless design of the Smartraft® system significantly streamlined the installation process, ensuring minimal disruption and improved project efficiency. The system provided a solution to an otherwise difficult project and no doubt provided a time and cost saving compared to relocating existing underground assets.
Throughout the project, the technical support provided was exemplary. The Smartraft® team demonstrated exceptional knowledge and dedication, offering clear guidance and prompt assistance whenever required. This ensured that the solution was integrated smoothly into our design and installation processes. Even on-site issues during the construction phase was promptly addressed with a solution prior to the Smartraft® installation.
We are highly satisfied with the performance and practicality of Smartraft®.
A big thank you to Gwynedd for trusting us and for taking the time to share their story.

Thrilled to announce the successful completion of our latest project on the M3 with Octavius Infrastructure and Arbus Limited !
For this 510m installation, we adapted the Smartraft® 200 unit by incorporating a raised precast lip at the rear face. This enhancement prevents rainwater runoff from eroding the embankment and reduces contaminants out of the watercourse by directing water into the Smartraft® windows, which are installed above a drainage system. The result? A more sustainable and effective solution.
A huge thank you to the team for their dedication and innovation on this project! Excited for the next challenge ahead.
