Utilities

In the UK, the utility sector covers the installation and maintenance of electricity, gas and water supplies and ‘serves millions of homes, businesses, schools and hospitals in order to keep the lights on, taps running and gas flowing’. Without the 738,000 people working within the utility sector helping to maintain and distribute our supply, the country would certainly crumble, and very quickly.

What’s more, the utility sector is changing. Coal is declining, wind farms are becoming more important and increasing numbers of homes and businesses are sourcing ways to generate, store and sell their own electricity supply.

With this in mind, it is crucial that the utility sector can rely on manufacturers and the supply chain to provide them with materials that are guaranteed to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry.

Instarmac is a business that never stands still. We pride ourselves on being at the forefront of today’s technology to provide our customers with maintenance and installation materials they can trust.

To mark underground utility supplies use UltraCrete LMP Line Marking Paint. Available in four colours – white to mark excavation areas, blue for water, red for electricity and yellow for gas – LMP is an easy and efficient way of marking underground utility supplies for a safe repair.

Instarmac are proud members of Street Works UK (formerly National Joint Utilities Group). Street Works UK is the UK’s only cross-sector trade association representing gas, electricity, water, sewerage and telecommunications utility companies. Working alongside leading trade bodies helps us to stay at the pulse of what the utility sector needs and provide solutions they can trust.
