Reconstruction

Rebuilding Ukraine's utility infrastructure over the next decade.

Damage to water, power and heating systems cannot be addressed in a single season. Rebuilding will require a sustained programme of work and Ukrainian contractors with the capacity to deliver it.

The problem

What has to be solved.

01

Damaged and ageing water systems

Water intakes, treatment plants, pumping stations and distribution mains — many of which were already approaching the end of their service life before being damaged.

02

Power infrastructure under repeated strain

Distribution networks and substations must be restored quickly and increasingly supported by backup generation that remains available when the grid fails.

03

Heating systems that must be ready before winter

Boiler houses and heat networks must be restored within a fixed seasonal window. Delays in autumn can leave communities without heat in winter.

04

Public buildings that communities depend on

Schools, clinics and civic facilities must be structurally repaired and reconnected to functioning utilities before residents can safely return.

How we work in these conditions

Restoration requires a different approach from new construction.

Damaged sites present constraints that conventional construction does not: limited access, incomplete records, decisions about what can be salvaged and a security environment that can change from week to week.

Assessment first

We establish what can be salvaged, what must be replaced and what is unsafe to approach before committing to a scope of work.

Working to seasons

Heating and water works are scheduled around seasonal deadlines rather than the contract signature date.

Documented throughout

Donor-funded work requires clear evidence. Surveys, costs and completion records are documented in line with the funder's reporting requirements.
