BEM™ (Broadband Electro-Magnetic technology)

BEM™ technology delivers 100% external pipe wall coverage without the need for coating removal or hot tapping, allowing utilities to assess their high-risk assets without disruption or invasive techniques.

Working In Partnership

Aqua-Tech’s strategic partnership with technology leader Rock Solid Group, is bringing advanced BEM™ (Broadband Electro-Magnetic technology) assessment to the UK market.

This partnership combines Aqua-Tech’s engineering consultancy expertise and on-the-ground delivery capability with Rock Solid Group’s pioneering non-destructive testing (NDT) technology, which together will enable smarter, safer, and more sustainable investigation of buried assets such as rising mains and pipelines for water utilities across the UK.

Key Benefits of BEM include:

Smarter, data-driven assessments

for rising mains and other critical infrastructure

Predictive maintenance

planning to reduce failure risk and extend asset life

Faster, lower-carbon investigations

with minimal operational impact

Global innovation

applied to UK infrastructure through local engineering expertise

About the Partnership...

Jason Rowe, Managing Director at Aqua-Tech said:

“This partnership brings something genuinely new to the UK market. With Rock Solid Group’s proven BEM™ technology delivered by our existing in-house engineering experts, we are helping utilities move from reactive response to predictive resilience in a way that’s efficient, practical and aligned to AMP8 priorities.”

Martin Roubal, Managing Director at Rock Solid Group said:

“BEM has been in the UK market since 2001 and currently active on critical projects there, in the US and other countries. We try to make it easy for our clients to access our technology. Through this partnership, the Aqua-Tech arm has all the boxes ticked for standards and compliance that would take us away from providing our technology. A win for all parties.”
