Design
We design with an eye on delivery, thanks to a deep understanding of project implementation and suitable products. We explore the opex implications of designs, delivering genuine value over the design life of the project.

Installation
Our end-result focus means we validate installation against design in real time. This ensures potential issues are spotted early, and timely solutions are proposed. We liaise with other service providers and suppliers directly, to simplify communications.

Testing and Commissioning
From factory to site, and systems integration, we provide a fully optimised system and a seamless handover. The verification and testing procedures undertaken throughout installation mean we deliver a fully accredited system, quickly, with no surprises.

Assurance and Handover
We plan for a successful Handover from day one, operating a progressive Assurance regime throughout installation, to ensure a trouble free transition to daily operations. We work flexibly to meet the precise needs of individual people and projects.

Maintenance
We consider maintenance requirements from the earliest design stage and maintain our systems throughout installation. But we don’t stop there. We draft maintenance manuals, define schedules, and provide preventative and reactive contracts to ensure the finished product is fully supported.
