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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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).
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.
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.
