Gaist COVID-19 Statement – 25/03/2020

As a company we are, like many others, operating in unprecedented circumstances

As you may know our vehicles survey assets and infrastructure on behalf of utilities companies, local authorities, central government and other bodies responsible for maintaining infrastructure and performing critical works vital to the normal functioning of a range of services and provisions that people are relying on. The Government currently considers telecommunications and highways safety work critical, including maintaining these related networks, and the imagery that our vans collect helps ensure maintenance activities can continue with fewer people surveying on site (in person). Accordingly our field staff are designated as ‘key workers’ as a result of this which means you may see our vehicles surveying the country throughout this period of uncertainty to help maintain your infrastructure and keep vital services running.

As a company we take our field staff operating under current circumstances incredibly seriously. All of our vans have a range of PPE equipment on board and we have rigorously briefed our staff on the conduct we expect in the current situation and in minimising contact – we review the situation and our internal briefings on a daily basis in line with Government/PHE guidelines.
