Operation and maintenance
We help gas networks, utilities sectors, contractors, and specialist site managers to achieve and sustain high standards of operations and maintenance. We do this by providing both expert guidance from experienced personnel, and tailored support software which, together, resolve the operational headaches many sectors experience on site.
To enable us to deliver in every context, we have also created our own software – not only to simplify the management of assets, competencies and safe systems of work, but to achieve improved standards of compliance throughout the whole operations and maintenance lifecycle. This means:
- Reduced administration time.
- Paperwork is removed from the worker competencies and permitry processes.
- Comprehensive asset management solutions ensure high quality procurement, use and maintenance of project assets.
- Clients raise their standards of practice, achieve compliance and gain competitive edge at tender.
- Cost savings throughout the project lifespan, safeguarding client companies’ prosperity.

Effective competency management supports safer working practice, reduced risk, and makes sure the right people are mobilised on every project.
We deliver both on-site and training centre competency assurance assessments, and undertake post-completion gas escape audits to support GDN risk management. We also carry out independent audits, investigations and onsite coaching for gas distribution.
