WRc provides a multi-facetted approach to sewer operations combining innovation in data gathering, smart technologies and our in-depth practical experience to ensure the most efficient sewerage management solutions.
A major challenge for water companies going forward is improving the serviceability of sewer networks to reduce the damaging impacts of failures on:
WRc is uniquely placed to provide solutions that tackle these problems through improved use of data, technology, and engineering knowledge to provide companies with a more proactive, targeted and therefore a more efficient approach to sewerage management.
Our experts develop intelligent solutions to network issues by determining the factors that influence failure, and understanding network-wide patterns of these failures. We then maximise this information to develop solutions aimed at improving operational practice, or targeting smart technology in a cost effective manner, to provide greater visibility of network performance.
Head of Pollution & Flooding Reduction
Peter has been in the waste water industry for over 30 years, specialising in sewerage operations and waste water issues. He has an extensive background in sewer flow surveys, pipeline condition assessment and inspection and rehabilitation. He works closely with the WRc Infrastructure team to deliver the condition assessment of live rising mains using innovative inspection techniques to determine remaining asset life. Peter has worked on sewer operational best practice guides and leads delivery of technical training in sewer condition classification, drain investigation and drain repair both in the UK and internationally. Peter has recently been voted onto the UKSTT Council to provide insight and encourage the use of Trenchless Technology in the Utilities Sector - particularly water and gas. Peter also sits on the Technical Board of the National Association of Drainage Contractors (NADC).
