Research & Development

We continually utilise Research and Development (R&D) to enhance our product range, enabling us to introduce innovative, state-of-the-art equipment to the gas and water sectors.

Clients enjoy a close working relationship with our R&D team and have benefited from of our expertise to solve their issues. By combining our technical skill set and advanced thinking, with the real-time problems and feedback from our clients, we can offer bespoke services which will benefit our customers and consumers.

Previously we have worked with SGN as part of the National Innovation Awards to design and build problem solving tools throughout the water and gas industry. We work with consumers, businesses and the environment in mind, saving time, money, environmental impact and thinking power for our clients.

CONCEPT TO INSTALLATION: Our R&D Department is available for in-house and sub-contract drawing projects, utilising the latest AutoCAD and inventor technology.

3D CAD MODELLING: We can produce individual components, assembly, bill of quantities, piping layout and isometric drawings. We model components in 3D prior to manufacture.

RAPID PROTOTYPING: The Pipetech R&D department has access to 3D printing which allows us to accelerate the design process with less cost for our customers.

BESPOKE PATHWAY
Our team at Pipetech have extensive experience within the Gas and Water Industries which is complimented by years of experience in engineering. We can look at problems in a way no-one else can and create innovative cost effective solutions for our customers. Whether it's the development of a new tool to make a repetitive job easier or the development and creation of a new product we are here for you. We are passionate about the creation of products which help business reduce their opex costs, lower their carbon footprint and improve safety.

PROBLEM: Pipetech are approached about a problem. This could range from: speeding up a process, allow operators to fix something without turning off gas/water supply, reduce excavation, cost, improve safety, etc.

DISCUSSION: We meet with the client to discuss their requirements in depth and to further understand their problem.

DESIGN: We begin the design process with our inhouse design engineers, who collaboratively have over 150 years worth of experience in the industry, using the latest drawing technology.

DEVELOP: Concept designs are reviewed with the customer. Following the engagement, options are selected for developing and trialling with an initial prototype made.

MODIFY: Following feedback from the field trials, we modify and amend the design accordingly (if required). This is to ensure the product(s) are to the highest standard and meets the exact specification.

SUPPLY: Once the product has been approved, we produce and supply the equipment to the customer.
