Our consulting, risk management and training solutions, as well as our dedicated training facilities provide genuine advantages for EDR’s clients to cost effectively, quickly and safely de-risk their above-ground assets. We run the entire programmes for clients using our suite of services which are tailored to optimise the costs and outputs of any ERW mitigation the client requires’.
