Transport & Energy
Reliable, high-quality alternative water supply solutions designed to meet high-volume demands, ensure emergency supply continuity, and maintain regulatory compliance.
Securing Uninterrupted Water Supply
For organisations in the transport and energy sectors, access to a consistent, high-quality water supply is mission critical. Whether for cooling vital machinery, powering essential infrastructure, or ensuring sanitation for personnel, water plays a key role in maintaining safety, productivity, and efficiency. However, ensuring continuity of supply is becoming increasing challenging, posing serious risks to schedules, financials, compliance, and safety standards.
Our expertise, scale, and commitment make us a trusted partner for high-profile, sensitive sites and projects across the UK. Our scale of operations uniquely positions us to deliver the right solution to meet very specific needs, from proactive contingency planning to 24/7 support.
Our Services





With the UK’s largest fleet of water tankers strategically located across regional depots and backed by a 24/7 central control room, we’re equipped to quickly mobilise an alternative water supply when unexpected outages occur. From critical cooling and sanitation to maintaining essential operations, our team can deliver water logistics solutions scaled to meet your specific needs via tankers, bottled water, or on-site storage options.

Supporting high-demand sites and prolonged shutdowns, our tankers, static tanks, and bowsers provide large volumes of quality-assured water either directly into pre-installed systems or as a surrogate mains supply. When on-site storage isn’t available, we can deploy temporary tanks ensuring your operations remain stable, safe, and productive at all times.

For more flexible on-site water logistics, we offer towable bowsers and static storage tanks in various capacities. These enable you to store an alternative supply on site and access water as needed, ensuring essential operations continue.

We supply water specific to operational needs, including demineralised water for sensitive applications and potable water for drinking and sanitation. All our supplied water adheres to the highest quality standards, ensuring safety and compliance.

From offshore rigs to airports and power plants, we meet stringent security and logistical requirements, providing reliable, speedy support for remote and high-security sites with high dependency requirements.


Why a Proactive Contingency Plan is Essential
For organisations in the transport and energy sectors, even a short disruption to the water supply can lead to compliance issues, costly delays, and significant financial loss. Ensuring continuous, reliable water access is more critical than ever to maintain operational efficiency, safeguard personnel safety, and meet regulatory requirements.
A contingency plan empowers you to stay ahead of potential disruptions, maximising uptime while reducing costs, with the peace of mind that your operations will remain ‘always on’ – even in the face of unexpected challenges.
