Live Works & Active Network Operations
Prost delivers complex live works across sewer and water networks, operating confidently within active, high-risk environments where continuity of service, safety and precision are critical.
CSE Accredited, Authority Trusted
We are Confined Space Entry (CSE) accredited with all major water authorities and trusted to deliver live works within regulated assets across metropolitan and regional Victoria.
Prost is often engaged early in the project lifecycle, supporting live works from design development through to construction delivery. Early involvement provides practical constructability input, safe sequencing of live activities, reduced approval and execution risk, and a smooth transition from design intent to live delivery.
