A new interactive map allowing South East Water customers to go online to view engineering works and upgrades to its drinking water distribution network has helped the company retain its British Standard Institution (BSI)asset management certificate in the 2017 annual assessment.

The British Standard is produced by the Institute of Asset Management and recognised as a benchmark for how physical assets and infrastructure are managed.
It covers design, acquisition or construction through to operation, maintenance, renewal and ultimate disposal of a company’s assets and takes into account new innovations like the new interactive website map detailing upgrades to company assets such as water mains (https://inyourarea.digdat.co.uk/southeastwater)
