BUILD Q4 issue

22 Build Q4 2018 stablished in 2012, Intratest draws on Founder Martin Wyeth’s over twenty-five years of experience in the structural testing sector of the street lighting industry. Today, Intratest’s vision is to provide professional, cost effective solutions for its customers, that meet stringent quality and risk management prac- tices, so that all work is carried out to the highest possible standard, in a straight forward, no-nonsense and honest manner. The firm implements a range of techniques to ensure safety on the sites it works with, including standard non-destructive testing, which uses a specialised non-destructive inspection tool for the detection and esti- mation of corrosion damage near and below ground level. Intratest also uses specialist non-destructive testing, by using various techniques such as Ultrasonic, Eddy Current, and Magnetic Particle Inspection that are applied to the distinct types of structures that include High Masts, Traffic Mast Arms, Safety Barriers and Steel Rooted lighting columns. There is also electrical testing, in which the firm undertakes periodic testing due every 6 years by regulations, for lighting columns, signs, illu- minated bollards and beacons. Finally, it can support clients with general or routine maintenance, involving asset surveys, bulk clean, capacitor and photocell replacement, LED replacement programmes, and minor maintenance as required. Although specialising in the Non-Destructive Testing techniques, the firm’s flexible approach means that it can easily develop integrated strategies to help customers manage their risks associated with street lighting assets and other highway metal structures in a cost-effective manner. Intratest has joint UKAS certification to ISO9001:2015 NHSS8 and OHSAS 18001 – 2007. Furthermore, the firm’s reports are meaningful because they are firmly rooted on a ‘risk assessment process’ that allow results to be warranted to specified ‘re-test periods’, something that should underpin any asset management programme. Over the years, thanks to its flexible approach and vast industry knowledge, the firm has achieved incredible success, and today it is the approved supplier to 15 local authorities and 12 major contractors, including the Achilles Building Confidence procurement hub. Making Safety Less Testing Intratest brings over twenty-five years of experience in non-destructive testing to offer straight forward, no-nonsense, professional advice and solutions to all those involved in street lighting and the maintenance of highway assets. Having recently recognised the firm in our prestigious Construction & Engineering Awards for 2018 as the Best Street Lighting Maintenance Company – UK, we profile the firm to find out more and share an insight into the work it undertakes. E Going ahead, as part of its commitment to raising standards within its industry, Intratest continually develop the management of our day-to-day activities, through its Business Management Systems, that are inde- pendently verified through 3rd party audits to meet industry standards and best practice. Over the coming years this will remain the firm’s ongoing focus as it continually seeks to enhance the industry and its own success.
