Survey Innovation Driving AMP8 Results

What’s Happening Now: Water companies are moving from reactive maintenance to data driven asset management. With billons of £ at stake asset management decisions must be backed up by accurate, hyper intelligent survey data.

Storm Geomatics Solution: Our 18 plus years of specialist water-based surveying means our data is 100% relevant and not just accurate. This is because our surveyors work in water every day so they know the significant features to pick up that inform the decision making process.

Your Benefit: Engineers and designers can make confident asset management decisions backed up by geospatial data that truly reflects how water systems behave and adapt overtime.

What’s Happening: AMP8’s ambitious scope means compressed delivery schedules. Projects potentially face intense pressure to deliver faster whilst not compromising on quality or safety.

Storm Geomatics Solution: We encourage all our clients to engage us in a collaborative approach from the outset of every project. That way we can deliver a considered fixed fee with guaranteed on time delivery. A price war of slimming down budgets helps no one, least of all the project’s critical path. With our weekly progress reports delivered by the lead surveyor on each project, you always know exactly where your project stands. Early warnings of any type are flagged and discussed between surveyor and client in real time.

Your Benefit: Eliminate survey delays that cascade down throughout the project’s timeline. Predictable costs, predictable schedules.

What’s Happening: Every pound of £12 billon faces intense scrutiny from the public. Water companies must spend wisely and demonstrate exceptional value from their expenditure.

Storm Geomatics’ Solution: Hyper intelligent survey data prevents costly design changes, construction delays and asset failures downstream. Our specialist survey expertise identifies opportunities and data capture that general topographic surveyors miss.

Your Benefit: Transform survey data from a cost centre into a value creator through better decisions. Our data will optimise the project lifecycle and de risk investment into survey.

What’s Happening: Ambitious Nett Zero goals set by UK Water Industry need to be considered. Biodiversity improvements and natural flood management are now core requirements and not nice-to-haves.

Storm Geomatics Solution: Sustainability and environmental improvements is at the core of everything we do at Storm Geomatics. Our river function expertise supports eco system-based asset management approaches. We have experience working on pilot schemes of natural flood management that are now real-life proof of success. Our surveyors are trained to carry our River Conditions Assessments that capture baseline habitat data that enable stakeholders to meet regulatory requirements while optimising natural capital benefits. Moreover, we  give our clients a verified carbon emission value through our ISO14064:2018 verification, in most cases this will lower their scope 3 emissions (purchased goods and services).

Your Benefit: Achieve environmental performance commitments while delivering traditional asset management objective: its a win -win!

What’s Happening: Complete Digitalisation is the AMP8 mandate. Digital twin and real-time monitoring systems require accurate baseline data to deliver operational promises.

Storm Geomatics’ Solution: Storm are the creator of River Digital Twin® an holistic survey approach providing the foundation to make a digital twin effective. Accurate geometry, environmental conditions and hydraulic characteristics all create real time digital models that actually work. We would love to demonstrate to you, book your slot now.

Your Benefit: River Digital Twin®s that enhance decision making and present in a way that all stake holders can understand and make informed decisions from.

What’s Happening:  Climate change is accelerating infrastructure stress. An understanding of how water systems and their infrastructure support behaves under extreme conditions is vital for the safety of communities.

Storm Geomatics’ Solution: Our topographic surveys provide the foundation of resilient infrastructure design. We capture hydraulic details that determine how systems perform under pressure of climate events.

Your benefit: Infrastructure that performs under climate stress and extremes. This will protect the asset and most importantly surrounding communities.
