CASE STUDY 1 » Air Flow Diagnostic Housing

Brief To produce an armored vehicle part from 3 drawn items

SolutionOur engineers responded with a redesigned 1 piece solution removing the weld assembly operation

Outcome£7.50 per part cost saving with greatly improved quality and aesthetics

» Raising standards» Reducing costs» Delivering solutions

CASE STUDY 2 » Channel Tunnel Rail Link

Brief To engineer a solution to hold the service pipes for the Channel Tunnel rail link TBM (tunnel boring machine)

SolutionA formed channel the radius of the tunnel wall

OutcomeA mock quarter pipe tunnel fitted with our parts was built and shown to Alstom Paris. We have since won may tunnel contracts in the UK, Denmark, Singapore and Hong Kong
