Roaff

We use technology to build better underground utilities

Roaff is the world’s first technology-native underground utilities contractor. We help energy, telco, and government customers build and maintain underground assets more efficiently. 

Utility contracting is broken.

With unprecedented demand for energy and communications infrastructure, now is the time for change.

Problem 1

Too many slices - subcontracting has killed efficiency

The subcontracting culture in supply chains has driven over-specialization, increasing handoffs and eroding accountability, resulting in higher costs, slower speed, and reduced quality.

Problem 2

Customers and Innovation Have Taken a Back Seat to Comfort

The fundamental lack of innovation, limited customer focus, and inconsistent technology adoption have created a culture of complacency and continually driven up construction costs.

Our mission

Transform the way we build underground infrastructure with advanced technology.

Technology and AI are reshaping the world at an unprecedented pace. We exist to unlock their potential for our customers to accelerate the construction of the energy and communication infrastructure that will power our future.

Our bold ambition

20%

Reduction in new asset construction costs

We reduce new construction costs through digital tools to optimize materials, workforce, and machinery, and optimise infrastructure design through standardization and productization.

30%

Reduction in asset maintenance costs

We optimize the maintenance cost footprint by using advanced analytics, simulations, and predictive insights to detect issues faster, optimize crews, and extend asset uptime

50%

Increase in total asset lifespan and performance

We leverage data to identify cost-effective asset strategies, such as predicting cable wear and tear and optimizing maintenance schedules, to extend the lifespan of your assets.
