TES have provided specialist MEICA services to Water Utilities for almost 20 years\u2019 on a range of projects from MCC design and manufacture<\/a> to complete design, build & operation of water and wastewater treatment plants. Regardless of the size or scope of the project TES endeavour to provide our clients with whole life Cost (TOTEX) savings. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TES have extensive knowledge of water and wastewater treatment<\/a> processes, sustainable retrofits<\/a>, control systems and equipment installed on treatment works and\u00a0pumping stations<\/a>.\u00a0 This is coupled with the current knowledge of leading technologies and respective suppliers.\u00a0 At TES, embedding Whole Life Costing principles in everything from procurement, through day-to-day operation, to plant maintenance is a priority in the quest to optimise performance while minimising expense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Innovation Centre<\/h3>\n

Through the TES Innovation Centre<\/a>, TES continually monitor latest technologies to bring proposals to our clients in the form of demonstrable Whole Life Cost comparisons.\u00a0 In recent years TES have invested in a dedicated Research, Development & Innovation Centre <\/strong>whereby we have successfully developed safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly products and processes by adopting tried and tested life cycle analysis tools and techniques.\u00a0 The TES R&D team undertake Value Engineering analyses for our projects while keeping track of new products and innovations aimed at reducing TOTEX that can save time, minimise environmental impact and enhance the life-cycle of the Client\u2019s project.\u00a0 TES also work closely with members of our Supply Chain to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective technologies are proposed as part of contract delivery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Procedures for reducing TOTEX – Collaboration<\/h3>\n

Committed to reducing TOTEX, the TES Framework Manager will drive challenge through the Client Brief\/Job Spec. This information is closely analysed and the most experienced; estimator, designer and or supply chain representative shall be nominated to attend Site Meetings for further inspection. At the Site Meeting with Client Reps, Project Manager and or Operations stakeholders, TES collaborate and jointly review the brief, challenge the scope, specification and working practices to arrive at an agreed scope of work aimed at offering more benefits for the Client.\u00a0 This is where TES\u2019 experience from almost 20 years\u2019 working in the Irish & UK Water industry, with a stable workforce will enable us to come up with safe solutions, innovative ideas and new technologies to provide more efficient and effective services. The size of our company is such that our Team have a thorough understanding of what has worked well and what hasn\u2019t on similar projects\/frameworks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Site meetings enable integration and development of collaborative working relationship, essential to drive challenges, as these encourage options to be discussed openly and freely. \u00a0The TES team then undertake whole life costing on alternatives and through value engineering analysis, our design and estimating team can provide compatible reports that can directly feed into the Client\u2019s whole life costing model.<\/span><\/p>\n

What We Do<\/h3>\n

TES utilise all members of our team (Efficiency Engineers, Design Team, Estimators and Project & Contract Managers) to ensure higher CAPEX on certain assets are recommended to the client.\u00a0 TES aim to offer significant OPEX savings due to more efficient operation, lower power consumption’s, extended operating life, lower maintenance costs and higher reliability performance data etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

These meetings focus on cost savings and driving value for money. A number of issues assessed include but not limited to;<\/span><\/p>\n
