Z-Tech’s Innovative Solution to Deliver Project Efficiency
Overview:
Z-Tech had to verify 512 Thames Water District Meters to ensure efficiency of the network for both regularity purposes and in the run up to a busy summer period.
With a tight deadline, the London Congestion Charge and limited parking, the use of vans is a restrictive and costly exercise. Z-Tech needed an innovative solution to ensure the project efficiency.
Challenges:
- Central London location with little car parking and congestion charges
- Verification of 512 District meters within a five-week period.
Key solutions:
- Z-Tech invested in a fleet of mountain bikes equipped with mobile equipment.
- A single van would drop-off three mobile teams to conduct verifications around a mapped area.
- Teams fully equipped and able to move around more meters quickly, not relying on parking spaces.
Services:
- Water networks project
- Verifications.
Key benefits:
- All 512 meters were verified in the allocated time frame
- Reduction in CO2 emissions, reduction in congestion and parking charges
- More efficient workforce.
“This was a superb scheme and really highlighted the reductions that can be made in C02 while also saving time and money. It’s a win-win situation and we intend on adopting for more teams.” Jeremy Bull, HSEQ Director
