Richard Tucker, BMS lead, whose responsibilities include overseeing annual inspections, testing, and calibration of site equipment, said: “The ability to carry out onsite performance testing and calibration is really beneficial to our operations, meeting the requirements of a bustling laboratory environment, where resources and equipment have to be readily available and performing to optimum levels at all times. “With in-service testing carried out on-site, sensors don’t have to be removed and taken away for checking elsewhere. This allows them to be effectively calibrated and returned to service very quickly, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing lab operations and capabilities. This saves us time and money, which is always a welcome bonus.”
