Given Markon Ashleigh's proven expertise of delivering solutions in the harsh environment of the nuclear industry, especially at Sellaeld Ltd, Markon Ashleigh is able to apply its thinking and experience to other hazardous industries around the world. As well as across the nuclear sector Markon Ashleigh now has many global clients in the oil and gas, marine and renewables, including offshore wind markets.
While the range of industries Markon Ashleigh's serves are extremely diverse, they all have a common thread of focussing on trying to remove “people” from hazardous, potentially life-threatening, situations. Much of Markon Ashleigh's recent work has been based around providing remote solutions to allow decommissioning operations to be completed from a safe environment away from the workface. Markon Ashleigh welcomes problem statements from any business or organisation and develops new methods using innovative technology which allows operators to achieve what was considered not possible before. The majority of decommissioning projects which Markon Ashleigh is working on are world rsts and designed to save clients signicant money, time and, more importantly, protect employees' welfare.
Robotic solutions are used widely in nuclear sites globally. Given the nature of the nuclear industry, many areas of a site cannot be accessed by humans safely, or at least for any length of time, so robotic solutions play a huge part in the markon ashleigh manufactures many different rovs, cameras, lighting systems, tools, deploymentsystems, and more to solve decommissioning challenges. Markon Ashleigh has produced tracked vehicles, wheeled vehicles, pipe crawlers, swimming vehicles, and vacuum climbers to operate in the many different environments. More recently there has been a dramatic increase in the usage of drones, Markon Ashleigh sees more robotic systems being utilised as technologies develop further. Markon Ashleigh sees it as vital to continue to develop these solutions further so that challenging decommissioning projects around the world can be completed more safely and efciently
