“Southend commissioned Gaist to survey our entire network and provide us with an investment/maintenance planning capability. The outcomes of their work has surpassed our expectations and given us a real insight into what we have, how to invest into it and what we will be passing on to future generations. By truly understanding the long term implications of our asset management policy it is empowering the Council to make the right decisions based on sound, accountable, information.”

 

“Understanding the long term effect of our investment decisions is vital to Manchester City Council, as it is for all Councils.  Gaist has provided us with an unprecedented level of understanding of our network and we are now preparing long term investment plans that we are highly confident in. Working with Gaist has changed the way we see things and given us the ability to make the best case for funding and really deliver effective maintenance in the right place at the right time.”

 

“In just four years Blackpool Council has been able to remove all our maintenance backlog valued at £25 million, save jobs, demonstrate over £100 million in long term savings and seen public opinion with respect to highways increase dramatically.  We did not do that by following convention! The work Gaist has done for us has been invaluable and the benefits will be felt in Blackpool for years to come.”
