Barhale is one of the UK’s largest civil engineering and infrastructure specialists. Founded in 1980, the company is involved in the design, construction and maintenance of some of the country’s most important water, transport, energy and built environment projects.

Martin Casey, Sector Director (Utilities and Infrastructure) at Frazer discusses the company’s work with Barhale and explains what has made the partnership such a success. “Our strong relationship with Barhale is over a decade long, built on the shared values of trust and integrity and a dedication to open communication and collaboration. We have partnered with them on multiple projects, working closely with their teams to understand the complex challenges they face so that we can supply the products and expertise required to deliver the ambitions of each scheme.”

For the team at Frazer this more often than not requires a high level of expertise and commitment to go the extra mile as Martin explains, “We are always excited to partner with Barhale and do all we can to support their projects – no matter what it takes. During the last ten years we can cite numerous occasions where their team has approached us for help with specialist solutions that aren’t already available in the marketplace. These are not just standard off the shelf products that we can source from our partners but rather one off, bespoke items that require individual, technical design and collaboration with businesses in our own supply chain to manufacture.

“I’m proud to say that on each occasion our expert team has embraced the opportunity and delivered an expert solution to meet the challenges presented. Items such as high strength bolts and gaskets for a steel pipeline or couplings that can cope with exceptionally high levels of pressure – the requirements are often complex.”

This is something valued by the team at Barhale. Josh Bartimus, Senior Buyer at Barhale said: “Whenever we have worked with Martin Casey and members of his team at Frazer, in particular Lee Murphy, they have really shown their commitment to supporting our projects and helping us to overcome specific challenges. They have used their expert knowledge and own supply chain relationships to help us to source and manufacture products that on occasion don’t otherwise exist. They are real collaborators and always listen to our requirements. We know we can rely on Martin and his team to deliver innovative and modern utility solutions where and when we need them.”

Martin Casey added, “As a business, one of our key objectives is for our customers to view us as more than just a materials distributor. We strive to be regarded as an extension to their own team, - an essential partner that they cannot live without. This is exactly how we approach our relationship with Barhale and we are committed to ensuring that our relationship enhances their operations.”
