Key workers keeping the water industry safe and secure.

MMP Marine & Inspection will continue to run - as key workers - during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

As the UK steps into a new lockdown, we wanted to share an update regarding how MMP Marine & Inspection will continue to work during the pandemic.

Last year, the government identified those working in water and sewage as ‘key workers’ in a critical public service - that means we have been able to continue delivering our water pipe inspection services throughout the entirety of the pandemic.

We are one of many companies working tirelessly to maintain water supply and sewerage services during these uncertain times.

While we are happy and proud to deliver our services in support of the water industry, the safety of our staff and their families is our top priority. That’s why we will be following the Barhale Covid 19 site regulations as advised during the site induction and daily briefing.

From everyone here at MMP Marine & Inspection, we hope you and your families are safe and well. We will get through this, together.
