Safety

The safety of our team and the communities in which we work is our highest priority.  Our safety culture is one in which our team pro-actively manages risks prior to commencement of work.  We also believe that people are at the heart of the solution to effective safety management.

Efficiency

Our parent companies of Ventia and Downer Utilities bring unrivaled depth and breadth of capability from 20 years’ experience in the water industry.  Collectively, Downer and Ventia have a number of water industry contracts in Queensland and key projects in South East Queensland.  This allows us to develop best practice across a range of contracts, ensuring we deliver maintenance tasks efficiently for Urban Utilities and its customers.
