Specialists in infrastructure condition assessment, asset inspections and risk management
Our survey and maintenance teams carry out inspection and system testing of critical assets, components and materials. Tests are carried out on-site or in laboratory conditions and include non-destructive testing and non-disruptive surveys wherever possible. Comprehensive condition assessment reports, forensic evaluation and root cause failure analysis. We also have a range of temporary and permanent monitoring and measurement technologies and can assist clients to develop risk and criticality models.
Our portfolio of services includes:
- Corrosion assessment
- Forensic material testing
- Seized valve release
- Remaining asset life assessment
- Structural and operational condition grading
- Valve torque assessment and maintenance
- Valve PAK – under pressure packing gland repairs
- Under pressure CCTV surveys
- Pipeline camera crawler surveys
- Weld integrity audits
- Specialist under pressure drill and tapping
- Gate valve and through bore hydrant installation
- Water quality assessment
- Trunk mains sediment sampling
- Topographical surveys
- Laboratory analysis
We offer efficient processes through the use of multi-skilled teams and vehicles equipped with several types of inspection cameras, insertion tapping, soil analysis and condition assessment equipment. As part of SSI Services (UK) Ltd, our Group companies offer additional comprehensive infrastructure testing and maintenance services.
This includes pump testing and optimisation, water hygiene, concrete testing, cathodic protection, electrical testing, and waste/ raw water pipeline surveys.
Critical Infrastructure: energy, water, waste and transport
Applications for our services include:
Drill Tapping
Under Pressure Tapping - Specialist Clamps - All Materials
Our under pressure drilling process establishes a connection to an existing pipeline whilst it remains operational.
Valve Testing
Torque Measurement - Valve PAK - Bespoke Repairs - Fabrication
This service ensures you have an evidenced maintenance plan to ensure your business continues to operate.
Pump Efficiency Tests
Optimisation - Energy Management - New Pump Curves
We provide on-site pump efficiency testing to undertake a performance evaluation of existing pumping equipment
Pressure and Transient Measurements
Levels of Service - Field Tests - Calm Networks - Optimisation
Installation and maintenance of data loggers plus transducers to record pipeline pressures. Installations can be temporary or permanently installed with GPRS capability to record low and high pressure alarms.
Seized Valve Release (Patented Technology)
Patented Technology - All Industries - All Sizes
Our patented technology has been successfully applied to the waste water sector, petrochemical, FMG and Pharmaceutical industries. Since concept the system has released hundreds of valves ranging in size from 3” to 64” whilst maintaining a true 100% success rate.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Services
Voids - Leaks - Cracks - Compaction - Collapse
GPR is a high resolution electromagnetic survey technique designed to investigate anomalies in the subsurface of the earth and surrounding infrastructure.
Flow Monitoring
Full Bore - Open Channel - Water - Sewers - Flow Survey
Using a portfolio of data logging equipment we can provide portable or permanent flow measurement devices that enable accurate flows to be measured at a range of measurement intervals ranging from seconds to hours.
Materials Testing
Metallurgy - Linings - Concrete. Forensic failure analysis
Destructive Tests: incorporate physical and mechanical test methods to establish why a material has failed such as tensile strength, toughness and material hardness as well as ability to withstand certain forces (i.e. internal and external pressures).
Pipeline Camera Inspections
Static Cams - Hydrant Cams - Traversing Cams - Integrated Hydrophone
We have over 30 years’ experience of developing bespoke cameras for asset inspections. Principally derived for the water and sewerage industry, our cameras provide excellent lighting conditions and hi-resolution images that can be used for a range of applications.
Non Destructive Corrosion Surveys
Targeted Investment - Remaining Asset Life - Non Intrusive Surveys
This technique is used to determine the level of corrosion and estimate a remaining asset life of metallic structures.
Sampling Services
Water Quality - Soils - Pipes - Materials. understand root cause impacts
Sampling services are undertaken to understand root cause impacts or as part of routine measurement and planned preventative monitoring programmes.
Cathodic Protection
Steel structure protection-pipelines and critical assets
Cathodic protection is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell and can in principle, be applied to any metallic structure in contact with a bulk electrolyte.
