SEL Environmental is a division of Site Electrical Ltd, which was formed by Tom Murphy (Company Chairman) in 1980, to feed an increasing demand for a specialist electrical service provider to the tunnelling industry.   The services on offer rapidly developed into a range of niche markets including lighting, generation, ventilation and pumping.   Natural progression saw the company develop strong links with the water industry to become an established provider of pumping station installations and maintenance contractor.  

Complimentary divisions evolved to handle fabrication, electrical and civil engineering works, offering a more complete service.   Continued expansion within the water sector created an opportunity for the provision of innovative solutions within the landfill sector including containment and leachate collection.

In 1993 the emergence of increasing environmental legislation saw the Civil Engineering Division becoming formally recognised as a dedicated sub-contractor within the environmental sector.   Initially working extensively within the landfill sector and later expanding into the provision of environmental protection measures relating to the redevelopment of contaminated land.

Core skills that have sustained the development of SEL Environmental are the commitment to incorporate innovative validated solutions and the aim to provide a ‘Total Service’ package.   These ideals have created close relationships with many of the UK’s major contractors and consultants.

Partnering with academic institutions and specialist consultants has involved substantial investment into the provision of pioneering technologies within the water and environmental sectors.   Current projects include research into the field of sustainable urban drainage and stormwater source control utilising the company’s in-house research and development facilities with the goal of providing optimum solutions in terms of performance, buildability and cost.
