Wallyford Ready for Digital Revolution
Energy Assets Utilities is playing a key role in ensuring that the 2,200 new homes planned for a major development in Wallyford, Scotland, will be at the leading edge of the digital revolution sweeping across the residential new build sector.
With people's increasing reliance on digital connectivity to support devices ranging from smart TVs, games consoles, and tablets to home security and energy control systems, superfast broadband is becoming a ‘must-have' for home owners...and developers are responding.
At Wallyford, Energy Assets Utilities has been responsible for laying the conventional gas, electricity, and water infrastructure up to the spine road running through the site, but is also leading on the roll-out of fibre-to-the-home.
"The first few homes are now benefiting from superfast connectivity, with many hundreds more to follow to support lifestyles increasingly reliant on digital technology...and to connect to who knows what as we enter the era of the ‘Internet of Things'," said Craig Topley, Energy Assets Group Managing Director (Construction).
The Wallyford scheme is thelargest multi-utility network design and construction project ever undertaken by EAU, with services now available not only for residential homes but also fora new primary school, currently being built, and potentially some commercial units. It's all part ofEast Lothian Developments' plans for a new community atSt Clements Well, which stretches to the south, east and west of Wallyford.
The construction project illustratesEnergy Assets Utilities's growing position as a leading provider of gas, electricity, water - and increasingly fibre cable - networks for residential and commercial schemes across Britain.
