What are the challenges of working on utilities and industrial assets?
Working on utilities and industrial assets poses significant risks, such as exposure to high-voltage power lines and the danger of falls when working at height.
Environmental hazards, including extreme weather, can complicate projects. Additionally, handling heavy equipment and toxic materials, like industrial coatings, requires strict safety protocols.
CLC mitigates these risks through in-house training, safety equipment, and compliance with rigorous industry standards.

They also repair and maintain bridges, highways, and other vital national infrastructure assets.
For example, when the national grid called upon their industrial utilities expertise as transmission tower painting contractors, CLC painted 750 transmission towers in one year.
What is the National Grid, and who runs it?
The National Grid is the backbone of the UK’s electricity transmission and distribution system, ensuring power flows seamlessly from energy generators to homes and businesses.
It is run by National Grid plc, a private company responsible for maintaining and upgrading high-voltage infrastructure, including transmission towers and substations.
The organisation ensures reliable energy supply while integrating renewable energy into the grid to meet sustainability goals.
Why are steel restoration and specialist coatings important for industrial assets?
Steel restoration and specialist coatings protect industrial assets from corrosion and environmental damage, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
CLC employs advanced techniques in Pylon painting to futureproof these structures, so they remain functional and safe for decades.
Why does the utilities industry need CLC’s industrial and utilities expertise?
The utility industry faces aging infrastructure, requiring constant repair and upgrades to maintain operational efficiency.
The transition to renewable energy sources introduces complexities in integrating new technologies with existing systems.
Furthermore, stringent safety, environmental, and compliance regulations demand continuous oversight.
Workforce shortages and the need for skilled personnel also challenge the industry, alongside unpredictable weather conditions impacting assets like transmission towers and substations.
