We offer a repair and maintenance service for most items of waterway equipment.
Our services provide traceability and peace of mind that everything possible is being done to ensure the safety of your staff.
Equipment Testing
In addition to layflat hose testing, we offer an equipment testing service. This is usually carried out as an annual test and typically involves hydrostatic testing of:
- Standpipes
- Collecting Heads
- Dividing Breechings
- Controlled Dividing Breechings
- Ground Monitors
- Suction Hoses
- High Pressure Hose Reel Hoses
Light-alloy items will be tested to a maximum of 22.5 bar although many brigades specify 16 bar. The high-pressure hose assemblies are tested to 60 bar.
As with all testing of this type, the results are only meaningful if the records can be traced back to specific pieces of equipment, and so each individual items need a unique tracking no. to be assigned to and recorded on the equipment. There are several methods for doing this. See Asset Marking for more details. The most common method with hardware is for the unique identifier to be permanently engraved onto the equipment.
Our repair service combined with our testing and asset marking enable a comprehensive record of the equipment’s life to be built up over time. This information is supplied to the customer following the testing. We also hold a central archive so it is always available for the customer in the event of a query from the HSE.
