  • *Warning* watching this footage could result in wanderlust daydreams and unavoidable flight bookings! Two of our team recently undertook SI work for our valued clients on the Isles of Scilly, enjoying this incredible sight along the way. What we don’t see here is the incredible behind the scenes work of our operations team to make the logistics of such a trip possible; including freight transport of testing equipment and rigs, onward transport of equipment to site, sourcing of fuel and on site equipment, engineer accommodation, client liaison, mitigating against risk of weather delay and the very many plans to ensure the smooth running of our operations. With a history of off mainland projects including Jersey, the Isle of Wight and now the Scilly’s, our clients can have confidence in the capacity of our team to go the extra mile and deliver.
