Interceptors are often overlooked and neglected, yet they are one of the most important control points in drainage systems. Sorcha will discuss what should be included in these inspections and why there is a need to complete five-yearly detailed inspections to minimise environmental risk.

The presence of EV vehicles on the UKs roads present opportunities for site operators. But where, and when? Evenlode present an innovative EV-charging demand prediction model specifically tailored for retail sites. It is provided with specialist input from a global expert in the field of EV charging and low carbon transport. The valuable output is an independent and scientific site intelligence report called “Edison” which provides a site-specific outlook for EV charging demand over the next, 5, 10, 15 years and beyond. If there is charging demand at a site, “Edison” will identify when it will occur, how many chargers (and what types / speeds) are needed, and how long will charging sessions last for. These factors influence how many sales opportunities will arise to generate a return on investment.
