EMIS sources and coordinates the products and materials civil engineering and infrastructure projects run on: formwork and falsework, reinforcement, structural steel, precast units, utility infrastructure materials and civils equipment, specified to design and delivered to programme. One accountable contact manages the specification, the vetted supply chain and the delivery sequence, from local schemes to major infrastructure developments of national significance. EMIS supplies the products behind the works; the works themselves remain with the contractor.
Infrastructure solutions is the product-supply discipline behind a civils programme: sourcing reinforcement to the bar schedule, formwork rated to the pour, structural steel to the fabrication drawings, utility materials to the adopting standard, then coordinating the equipment to place it all. EMIS does not deliver civil engineering works; we make sure the contractor who does is never waiting on the products the works depend on. On a live civils programme the constraint is rarely availability. It is sequence. Materials that arrive out of order, or without their certification, stall the pour and ripple through the programme.
EMIS acts as the fixed point between the site team and the supply chain, and the support runs wider than a purchase order. We take the design and bar schedule, produce a procurement specification, then run sourcing across a vetted network of manufacturers, stockists and plant suppliers. From there we stay engaged through delivery sequencing and the queries that follow, from planning through construction to handover. You get one quotation, one delivery sequence aligned to your programme, one contact who owns it end to end.
Utility infrastructure is part of the same package. Where a scheme carries water, wastewater or power networks, we source pipes, fittings, chambers and treatment equipment to the adopting utility's technical specification and approved-product requirements. WRAS and WIMES approvals, material data and traceability are held ready, so the works meet the standard the network will actually adopt, and are not held up for a fitting that turns out not to be adoptable.
Every supplier is vetted for quality certification, material traceability and delivery record before we place work. We hold the mill certificates, CARES certification for reinforcement, CE and UKCA marking and test data, so the pack is ready for the principal contractor and building control, rather than assembled under pressure at handover. Because EMIS neither manufactures nor stocks, our specification serves the programme, not our inventory.
The advantages that a single accountable partner brings to this service.
Reinforcement, formwork and structural materials are specified against the design and schedule, with CARES and mill certification held ready, reducing rework and certification scrambles at the pour.
Materials arrive in the order the build sequence needs them, not the order a supplier dispatches them, so the site pulls stock just in time rather than double-handling it.
Pipes, fittings, chambers and treatment equipment are sourced to the adopting utility's specification and approved-product requirements, with WRAS and WIMES approvals held ready for adoption.
Specification, substitution queries and delivery coordination are supported from planning through construction to handover, technical help around the supply, not just a purchase order.
Mill certificates, CE and UKCA marking and test data are gathered as we source, so the compliance pack is complete for building control and the principal contractor.
Typical project types and the sectors they serve.
Civil engineering contractors pouring structures need formwork rated to the pour and reinforcement to the schedule, delivered in sequence. EMIS specifies to design and coordinates delivery so the pour is not held for missing materials.
Highway, rail and flood infrastructure needs structural materials and civils plant sourced to standard and to programme. We source the package to design and hold the certification for the asset owner.
Water, wastewater and power network works need adoptable pipes, fittings, chambers and plant sourced to the adopting utility's standard, with WRAS and WIMES approvals in place. EMIS sources approved products so the works are adopted without a scramble for evidence.
Developers need civils materials and plant procured predictably against a build programme. EMIS provides a single specified supply package with a delivery sequence the programme can rely on.

Practical answers for specifiers and buyers considering this service.
No. EMIS is a specialist partner. We specify what the design needs and source it from a vetted network of manufacturers and stockists. Holding no inventory means our specification serves your programme rather than stock we need to move.
Whether you require specialist products, technical procurement support, supplier evaluation, coordinated plant and equipment hire, logistics or full commercial procurement management, EMIS provides one accountable point of contact from initial requirement through to final delivery and close-out.
