New Smart Maintenance Business Launched in the U.K.

Black & Veatch has launched a Smart Maintenance business to support utility clients in the UK. The new offering builds upon the company's technology-led asset management consulting experience – and its programme management, logistics and delivery expertise – to create digitally enabled onsite maintenance teams.

Our Smart Maintenance business delivers a major evolution in the approach to delivering maintenance services. The big development is that our asset management support is typically delivered at the strategic level; smart maintenance is about helping clients implement those strategies on the ground, said Mark Malcolm , Black & Veatch Europes Director for the new business.

Smart Maintenance fits within the concept often referred to as the fourth industrial revolution and the shift to cyber-physical systems. For Black & Veatch, Smart Maintenance entails combining established technology-driven maintenance methodologies and smarter instrumentation, control and automation technology.

The development of Smart Maintenance is a further extension of Black & Veatchs UK utility offering into the infrastructure and capital maintenance sphere. By focussing initially on water but with a view to broadening to other sectors, the offering also supports a drive for greater diversification.
