SELECT Power Systems is proud to announce its inclusion as an Independent Evaluator for Wildfire Mitigation Plans by the Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety (OEIS) for the year 2024. This designation reflects the dedication and hard work of our collective teams in advancing wildfire mitigation efforts and ensuring the safety and resilience of communities. The designation as an Independent Evaluator positions SELECT to play a pivotal role in assessing and enhancing wildfire mitigation plans, working closely with investors, project developers, and power utilities. By leveraging our expertise, we aim to reduce early-stage risks and contribute to the development of robust wildfire mitigation strategies. As we continue to receive invitations to bid from multiple Power Utilities, we remain committed to delivering exceptional service and expertise in wildfire mitigation planning. #powertomakeadifference #wildfiremitigation

A Phase 2 Ground Investigation (also known as a site investigation) is often the first bit of groundbreaking to be done for a new project, usually after a period of desk-based assessment (Phase 1). The best ground investigations are designed to target areas of geotechnical or environmental concern from the Desk Study, to 'fill in' any gaps with real site data and provide more information for the development design. There are a wealth of different ground investigation techniques available to use, from simple hand dug pits to complex multi-phased investigations combining several types of drilling, specialist testing, and soil, groundwater and gas sampling and monitoring. Every site is different, and a good consultant tailors their investigation plan to suit the specific needs of the development in hand. FWS has the expertise to undertake the necessary desk study, investigation programmes, remediation design, specification and contract management to help ensure your developments are delivered on time and to budget. The attached photos are from a recent ground investigation in Lincolnshire with Lankelma Ltd undertaking CPT testing - a great technique for the ground conditions and client's requirements at this stage. To take advantage of FWS Consultants Ltd's capabilities and for geotechnical and geo-environmental support either on current projects or pipeline opportunities, don't hesitate to get in touch with one of the team, who will be more than happy to help.

Thinking about even a day without water is difficult. Losing half (or more) of our water supply if we couldn't access groundwater would be equally hard - especially in the drought prone Southwest. 🏜 Maintaining and developing water wells remains a priority in #Arizona, #California and across the Southwest - especially as unpredictable weather events and persistent drought strain our infrastructure. But well construction material and labor costs continue to rise which can make planning for these expenses more difficult. Geoscience Support Services, Inc. offers a free Well Construction Cost Estimator with drilling contractor, well casing, and screen materials cost data on our site to help predict your costs and planning. 🚰 👉 Register here for free access to the Well Construction Cost Estimator: https://lnkd.in/ga35uxTD 📌And get in touch to see how we can help with your #groundwater needs: email@geoscience-water.com #wells #watermanagement #aquifer #waterwelldrilling #watersupply #sustainability #infrastructure #environment #utilities #geoscience

Ever wondered how we ensure pipeline safety and sustainability amidst potential risks? Using GIS technology, we've created maps with MAPOG that identify areas at risk of pipeline-related impacts.  Here we address the challenge of pipeline safety and sustainability by leveraging buffers to anticipate potential impacts on surrounding areas due to pipeline-related activities or events. With pipelines transporting substances like oil or gas, understanding which areas might be affected by accidents or nearby construction is crucial for ensuring public safety and environmental protection. We've developed maps that highlight these at-risk zones, empowering stakeholders with insights essential for informed decision-making, proactive risk management, and inclusive engagement in pipeline safety initiatives. 📧 Need assistance?
