Civil engineering & utility connections in Borehamwood

Civil engineering across Borehamwood

Borehamwood is the largest settlement in Hertsmere Borough and one of the South East’s most active mixed use towns: a globally recognised film and television production cluster, a mature industrial estate base in WD6, and a sustained residential growth pipeline driven by the borough’s Local Plan. Rospower brings the same civil engineering capability we apply to national programmes for Copart, Safestore, and Stratstone to projects across the town.

Utility connections and LV networks

Live highway working, urban traffic management, and adoptable LV connections are the day to day reality of utility delivery across Borehamwood’s residential and commercial streets. Rospower recently completed the full LV electricity network for a mixed use residential and community development at 141 Aycliffe Road, delivered under a four way traffic light scheme with a signed road closure and diversion route, with materials and methods signed off for adoption onto the UK Power Networks distribution network.

As an NERS accredited contractor, in partnership with UK Power Connections Ltd., we deliver gas, water, electric, and multi utility connections for residential, mixed use, and commercial developments across Borehamwood and the wider Hertsmere area. Every package is fully MUA G81 compliant and managed under the Safety at Streetworks Code of Practice 2013.

Studios, broadcast, and production infrastructure

Borehamwood’s screen industries cluster has no real equivalent in the UK. Elstree Studios on Shenley Road is one of the country’s longest established film studios, BBC Studioworks operates eight studios at the BBC Elstree Centre including the Strictly Come Dancing stage, and Sky Studios Elstree opened in 2022 as one of the largest single screen industry investments in UK history. Each of these complexes generates ongoing demand for studio-adjacent infrastructure: access roads, perimeter works, generator and substation foundations, drainage upgrades, and supporting commercial development across the wider WD6 area.

Mixed use and residential development

The Hertsmere Local Plan continues to direct the borough’s housing growth toward Borehamwood. Schemes range from full estate-scale developments to mixed use community blocks like the Aycliffe Road project, often delivered on tight urban sites with live highway and adjacent live frontages. Rospower delivers the civil engineering these schemes demand: enabling works, foundation packages, plot and roads drainage, footways, public realm reinstatement, and adoptable utility infrastructure.

Industrial estates and self storage

Manor Way Industrial Estate, Centennial Park, and the trade counter clusters off Stirling Way host a steady pipeline of light industrial, distribution, and self storage activity. Our work for Safestore on national rollout projects, alongside our broader industrial capability, applies directly to the Borehamwood occupier base.

Public sector and council frameworks

Rospower holds Constructionline Silver and works alongside Hertsmere Borough Council and Hertfordshire County Council on highway adoption, public realm, and Section 50 / Section 278 packages within the borough.
