Street Works (CABWI)

Under the New Roads and Street Works Act (1991), the installation, renewal, maintenance and inspection of underground apparatus in any street or road must be undertaken by competent people.

The Street Works scheme provides the mechanism for recognising competence in excavation and reinstatement in the highway.
