Investigation programmes

Your condition investigation, run end to end by one team

Getting reliable condition information takes more than booking an inspection. We plan the programme, procure and manage the right specialists, and assess the results, so you end up with information you can build an investment programme on, without stitching it together yourself.

THE PROBLEM

Inspections booked without a plan rarely give you what you need

It’s easy to appoint a contractor, run some CCTV or a single technology like pulsed eddy current, and end up with raw grades that don’t account for asset criticality or stand up to an audit. Build renewals on that and you invest in the wrong places.

Programmes that start without planning the enabling work, access, shutdowns and traffic management, stall or blow their budget before the first inspection.

How we help

We manage the whole programme in three steps, whatever its size.

01

Plan

We work out which pipes to inspect based on criticality, what information you need and which technology will get it, and we scope the enabling work and traffic management up front, with costs.

02

Execute

We procure and manage the right specialists and equipment for each pipe. We hold no commercial ties to any supplier, so you get the right test done well and safely, with the data captured fit for purpose.

03

Assess

We analyse the raw data to grade condition, tell you how much confidence to place in it, and estimate remaining useful life, using best practice.

Why it works

We know the specialists across the market and we sell none of their kit, so we pick the right test on the right pipe with the right equipment, in your interest rather than a supplier’s.

And because we understand what the assessment needs, we make sure the data is fit for purpose in the field and again when it comes back, not after you’ve paid for it.

What it means for you

You finish with a high quality, accurate inspection and assessment programme you can use straight away to plan investment.

Your community and the regulator can see it stands up to scrutiny and represents good value, and you didn’t have to become the general contractor to get there.
