Cappagh Group of Companies

🎄 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄

At Cappagh we recognise that freezing temperatures can be a worry for everyone, and by taking practical actions we can both individually and collectively protect ourselves and our environment during cold weather.

Cappagh is excited to announce a significant investment in a fleet of brand new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, now proudly displaying Thames Water livery. This investment is a testament to our commitment to delivering first class service while focusing on customer satisfaction and environmental responsibility. Equipped with the latest technology, these new Sprinters provide enhanced reliability and efficiency, meeting the high standards set by Thames Water. Each van in Cappagh's fleet is equipped with Samsara Vehicle Telematics and Video-Based Safety, a comprehensive suite of tools designed to enhance fleet management, reduce emissions, and empower drivers to develop safe driving habits. This cutting-edge technology aligns seamlessly with Cappagh's end-to-end culture of safety, ensuring that every aspect of fleet operations, is focused on minimising risks and improving overall efficiency. In addition to improving operations, the modern engines in these vans offer reduced emissions, supporting our sustainability goals and contributing to a greener environment. By upgrading the fleet, Cappagh is ensuring that we continue to provide excellent service to Thames Water, while also minimising our environmental impact. This initiative highlights our dedication to excellence, sustainability, and our ongoing efforts to support the communities we serve. #ThamesWater #Cappagh #MercedesBenz #Samsara

Last week, Cappagh, in collaboration with Solent Excavations and supported by Portsmouth Water, successfully completed the first phase of the Welborne Mains diversion project. This phase involved the installation of 650 meters of new 450mm water main, ahead of the upcoming Welborne Village development at Junction 10 of the M27. The project forms part of a wider programme of mains diversions designed to support the new development and improve several local road junctions. A key priority throughout the project was minimising disruption to local customers. To meet this challenge, the team worked within a tight time frame to ensure that water supplies to the Fareham and Gosport areas were fully restored before peak demand the following morning. To achieve this, the team utilised the specialist ‘line stop’ technique, which allowed the main to be shut off closer to the connection point. This approach reduced the time needed to drain down and quickly restore functionality, ensuring minimal disruption. Excellent teamwork and dedication by all involved! 👏
