Inspection
If you operate pipework systems operating at pressure > 0.5 bar with pressure control then you probably require a formative inspection process.
ACTS Ltd can provide policies and procedures for inspection and maintenance along with programs to establish cost effective reliability centered maintenance.
Furthermore we have the skills to deliver inspection programs for

Compliance and auditing
From over 20 years of experience in both producing policies, procedures and method statements and subsequently auditing companies operating in the utilities sector one of the most common issues identified is the proliferation of copied policies and procedures without the necessary understanding of the requirements and whether they reflect how a business chooses or wants to operate.
A method statement, procedure or policy that is not reflective of how you operate leaves you exposed to failure to complying with the relevant regulatory or industry standards and ultimately open to prosecution for failing to follow your own documented processes.
This also leads to over-complicated processes and additional costs and complexity to the work involved. Systems should always be aligned to the statutory or industry requirements and reflective of the activity being undertaken.
ACTS Ltd provide a service for end to end review or development of utility procedures and process to ensure both compliance and commercial resilience.
Data Capture and Records
All work is captured through secure data systems which can be customised to suit individual requirements of a client and made directly available to the client or asigned persons through a secure portal.
All works is geo located and recorded on the data capture system along with time stamp and signatory authorisation on completion of activity.
Bespoke systems can be set up for clients which can retain company policies and procedures, competency records and asset management details.
Design and 3D management
All design work for installations is done via 3D CAD software following detailed surveys. This facilitate precise design of complex replacement installations where possible without the requirement for onsite welding.
Further options also include 3D onsite mapping of a facility through Matterports LiDAR system and integrated web data management support.
