The challenge
Delivering utility infrastructure in a complex urban environment is never straightforward. Viadux’s central location, surrounded by dense public infrastructure, presented significant technical and regulatory challenges, particularly in securing insets.
Viadux is a landmark development in the heart of Manchester, transforming a prominent urban site into a dynamic new destination for city living. Leep Utilities was appointed by Domis as the NAV (New Appointment and Variation) for the adoption of clean and wastewater networks at Phase 1 of the development, a decision built on our proven record of partnership and delivery and the requirement for a network adoption partner with deep expertise and flexibility.

The solution
At Leep, we don’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we applied our deep knowledge of network adoption, regulatory processes, and stakeholder engagement to deliver successfully.
Our flexibility, responsiveness, and clear communication allowed us to align with Domis’s project timelines and sustainability goals, demonstrating the benefits of working with a utility partner who can adapt and deliver beyond the industry norm.
Our role involved:
- Securing the insets in a highly constrained and high-profile city centre location.
- Maintaining momentum on site, ensuring utilities did not become a blocker to construction progress.
- Advising on and implement Water Saving Initiatives, helping Domis embed sustainability and water conservation into the fabric of the development.

Outcome & Value Delivered

- 375 plots successfully adopted in Phase 1.

Why Leep?
Our ability to work flexibly, think creatively, and operate transparently makes us the ideal partner for forward-thinking developers like Domis.
At Viadux, we delivered more than just utility connections, we delivered certainty, sustainability, and long-term value.
"Viadux is a flagship development for us, and we needed partners who could match our ambition and navigate the complexity of delivering in a dense city centre environment. Leep Utilities brought the expertise, flexibility, and proactive approach we needed to keep the project moving and ensure high-quality outcomes. Their understanding of the NAV process and their collaborative mindset made a real difference. We trust them implicitly and look forward to continuing our work together."
