Intelligent Gully Cleaning
To this end we have developed a web based solution for the office and a purpose built hand held software solution for the operatives. The objective of the project was firstly to get accurate trusted information of the location and the condition of the gullies and then to use that information to empower the operatives through the hand held solution to intelligently cleanse gullies.
The InTouch Gully Data System provides :-
Our cost effective system could deliver efficiency savings straight away by reducing paper based reporting by gully crews.
 Each time a gully is cleaned its history is built up creating an invaluable database of your assets. Targeting problem gullies and adjusting cleansing cycles on gullies which are constantly clean and running will facilitate a reduction in the overall cleansing whilst improving the quality of service by targeting problem areas. Our results to date show that a potential 30% efficiency gain can be achieved through this approach.
Flood Risk Management
Under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 and the Flood Risk Regulations (2009), all upper tier and unitary authorities are now the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) for their area. This includes the responsibility for implementing a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS) and co-ordinating the activities of other risk management authorities, including highway authorities.
 There is a close link between surface water flood risk and the effectiveness of highway drainage. It is essential therefore that highway authorities fully understand the role they play in managing flood risk on a strategic level and place increasing emphasis on the importance of maintaining and improving highway drainage. This also means that maintenance programmes need to reflect the wider aims of the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy and be targeted at problem areas where necessary.A video overview of the Intouch Gully Data System
