Case Study – Dyson Diecastings Electrical testing and condition reports for BS 7671 compliance and maintenance peace-of-mind Dyson Diecastings Ltd is a precision engineering company specialising in intricate aluminium and zinc components. The large site includes warehouse space, machines shops, offices, canteens and a foundry. As an industrial building, the site requires an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) as an insurance requirement and to comply with BS 7671, as well as forming part of Dyson Diecasting’s commitment to quality. However, the reality of carrying out such detailed inspection work on a large site has many considerations. Sol Services carry out the EICR for the 400.000 square metre site over a three year rolling period, splitting the work required into 3 parts. This rolling approach is important for cost, budgeting and ongoing maintenance. Sol Services also carry out any remedial electrical actions and any other maintenance issues that can’t be fixed in-house. Laurence Redley, head of maintenance at Dyson Diecastings comments “The EICR is important to the business; it demonstrates our commitment to quality and provides us with the peace-of-mind that the electrical work and machinery is fit for purpose. It helps identify problems for rectification, sometimes before they even arise and covers all bases for me. The rolling annual inspections means that the work required for the EICR can be carried out during the factories yearly shut-down period. This minimises any impact on the business and prevents unnecessary downtime.” Laurence continues “We’ve worked Nigel and the team at Sol Services for around 12 years. You can’t fault the professionalism of their staff. I use them because I know as soon as I give them a job they’ll get on with it. You get what you pay for and Sol Services provide a quality service. I’d recommend them to anyone.” Find out more about Sol Services or property and maintenance solutions.
