Planned & Reactive Maintenance

Maintaining what matters. Responsive, reliable, and built for long-term performance.

Overview

A capital mindset for maintenance, around the clock

Water and wastewater assets face constant pressure from climate, growth, and ageing infrastructure. Our Planned and Reactive Maintenance services keep them reliable, resilient, and compliant. We apply the same discipline to capital maintenance as major projects, because reliability demands it. From emergency response to long-term upgrades, we reduce outages, extend asset life, and protect communities.

Planned Maintenance

For many clients, maintenance goes beyond quick fixes, it's about planned interventions that renew assets and futureproof performance. Browne delivers capital maintenance at scale, blending the rigour of capital projects with the agility of maintenance delivery. We work with utilities, local authorities, and private asset owners to develop tailored programmes that improve reliability, reduce long-term costs, and minimise disruption.

Services include:

  • Large scale Capital Maintenance Programme delivery
  • Scheduled treatment works upgrades to enhance operational efficiency
  • Mechanical servicing of pumps, valves, and reservoir assets
  • Pipeline condition assessments using the latest diagnostic technology
  • Targeted refurbishment of critical assets to reduce whole-life cost
  • Digital programme management through our PMO framework

Specialist Reservoir Maintenance

Reservoirs are vital to network resilience, but maintaining them demands specialist knowledge. At Browne, we understand the regulatory, structural, and mechanical complexities involved, from outlet works to safety compliance. We deliver both planned refurbishments and emergency interventions to keep reservoirs operating safely, efficiently, and in line with statutory requirements.

Our services include:

    • Structural inspections and asset condition surveys

    • Non-invasive health assessments and diagnostics

    • Mechanical refurbishment (valves, penstocks, actuators)

    • Instrumentation upgrades and telemetry integration

    • Cleaning, desilting, and access improvements

    • Emergency response for overflows, failures, and compliance risks

“Reservoirs are highly regulated and incredibly high-risk environments. Our approach blends mechanical precision with the kind of planning discipline only experience can deliver.”
