ESP owns and operates licenced utility networks that rely on accurate and contemporary records to determine the nature of each asset, their location and supporting information to document their compliant construction, commissioning and ongoing operation.
We have a historic portfolio of asset records up to 25 years old as well as records associated with assets that are currently being constructed for Electric, Gas and Water.
Our Electric, Gas and Water portfolio consists of:
* Assets adopted from UIPs, ICPs, and SLPs
* Bulk asset acquisitions from other iGTs and iDNOs
* ‘Infill’ assets constructed on existing networks
Asset types include all aspects of utility infrastructure from mains connections, services and metering and other more specialist assets such as Substations, PRIs and MOBs.
The associated asset records are managed and stored on a variety of systems; ESP is currently transitioning to a common asset management system. The Gas Assurance Engineer will play a key role in the transition to this new system for ESP’s gas assets.
