With the increased likelihood of pipework malfunction as we move into winter, our commercial and industrial pipework services can help.
With winter comes the higher likelihood of pipework malfunction, which could be especially problematic if left unnoticed in underutilised buildings. Whether you have a commercial or industrial boiler, it’s time to ensure your pipework is in good shape. The experienced Hodgkinson Bennis team is on hand to deliver a full range of pipework services. In this blog we’ll look at four areas of our pipework services: design, installation and modification, ongoing maintenance, and repairs.
Pipework services 1: Designing better pipework for more efficient systems
We recognise that few organisations will be in a position to design and commission new pipework right now. Given the current economic situation, most organisations aren’t able to commit to this level of investment. Even so, should you need a new or upgraded boiler, then you may need to design new pipework systems. We’re able to go back to the drawing board with you for upgrades to existing systems if budgets are stretched.
Pipework services 2: Pipework installation and modification
Our upgrade and modification services cover gas, water, or steam pipework. When budgets allow, we can also undertake large-volume fabrication projects. For larger-scale jobs, we can shut systems down, manufacture pipework ahead of time, and install while the system is cold. And we can work from our premises or directly on-site with you, depending on project specifications.
In terms of modifications, we can do everything from tweaks and fixes for modern systems to removing redundancies in older systems. We work with a range of materials, from carbon steel, stainless steel, and copper, through to plastic and exotic alloys.
Pipework services 3: Pipework maintenance for preventing seasonal problems
We know that planned preventive maintenance is better than emergency repair. That’s why we always suggest that organisations have a maintenance schedule for every aspect of their heating and hot water system, including their pipework. If you call us out for any other aspect of our pipework services, we’ll work with you to come up with that schedule.
Key safety measures are at the heart of all our pipework maintenance services. We’ll include visual inspection of appliances’ combustion ventilation and gas-leak detection as standard. We can also complete pressure-testing on low- and medium-pressure installations, including large-volume systems.
Pipework services 4: Pipework repairs for when things go wrong
Pipework malfunction often results from sudden seasonal changes in temperature. If system temperatures drop too low or if pipes have been insufficiently lagged, cracks can appear as pipes, joints and welds respond to changes in temperature. Whether it’s a leaking pipe seal, or a more catastrophic burst, you’ll need someone to take care of it as soon as possible.
Our repair services include weld repairs and emergency boiler tube plugging. We’ll respond to the specifics of the job, making sure that repairs match the materials used in the original system. And we’ll complete any repair to the highest standards as soon as your pipework requires it.
Pipework services that avoid seasonal headaches
We’re aware that every organisation has a lot to consider right now. But thinking about your pipework now can avoid any unpleasant surprises over the coming months. If the worst should happen, we can help you recover from any pipework disasters. And looking to the future, we’ll help you look after your pipework for a fully functioning heating and hot water system year-round.
