DMT GmbH & Co. KG, Essen\/Germany, has launched a new online resource to support domestic and international owners and operators of critical infrastructure, offering a full portfolio of supporting services for vital systems and assets including power stations, healthcare facilities, roads, waterways, bridges and tunnels.<\/p>\n
DMT\u2019s online platform offers a broad spectrum of engineering and consultancy services designed to plan, build, support and maintain critical infrastructure across administration, energy, transport, health, and water. This platform will act as a one-stop information touchpoint for all stakeholders. DMT\u2019s offering ensures that industries have access to reliable services in close digital or virtual proximity to their assets, providing remote and on-site services to enable consistent support for critical assets internationally.<\/p>\n
Throughout 2020, a series of travel and entry restrictions have severely reduced international mobility, and limited access for foreign nationals travelling via air, rail, water and road. Many owners and people responsible for critical infrastructure rely on different subcontractors and international consultants to deliver and monitoring and critical services, the provision of which has been severely affected by the Covid-19 restrictions. As countries consider further lockdown actions into 2021, DMT\u2019s agile \u201cResilience Matters\u201d approach offers comprehensive in-house support, ensuring the continuity of service regardless of current and future periods of uncertainty.<\/p>\n
DMT is also proposing a new set of minimum mandatory criteria for engineering and consultancy around critical infrastructure to improve the resilience of assets and systems. The criteria are: proximity to assets, advanced digitisation status, redundant reserves, agility, completeness of in-house service offering, personnel contingency, and long term relationships. DMT\u2019s own history of prioritising long-term partnerships with asset owners has built trust, continuity and familiarity, which places its remote services in parity with an in-person approach.<\/p>\n
