Our partnership with Thames Water
Overview
We are delighted to be a trusted partner of Thames Water.
We’ve worked alongside the utilities provider since 2012, helping to overcome their inspections challenges as we work to keep their plant safe and operational. Thames Water is just one of the companies we work with that have a progressive attitude towards ways of working and are fully supportive – and in this case lead the way – when it comes to embracing new technology and looking for getting the job done while reducing exposure to personal risk.
The challenge
Thames Water locations can be difficult to access.
Some machinery is in particularly hard to reach locations and can’t be accessed without specially erected platforms or expensive solutions being put in place. Along with this, the vast inspection requirements take some managing for our customer and can only be examined within the security guidelines of their many sites.
The solution
The innovative Thames Water team make use of drone technology for a number of reasons but above all to reduce risk.
We were delighted to work alongside the technologically advanced group to complete some of their inspections using the equipment, preventing the need for any unnecessary working at height.
The result
Along with this, we worked with Thames Water to complete a Gap Analysis on their schedule, ensuring our site list was up to date and all machinery and equipment was listed for inspections. Our relationship continues to go from strength to strength and we have the results to prove it.
Key outcomes
Reduced risk by using drone technology for inspections, preventing unnecessary working at height.
Improved efficiency and effectiveness of inspection regime by completing a Gap Analysis on the schedule and ensuring all machinery and equipment was listed.
Continued partnership with many successes.
