CERTEX MOVES INTO NEW PRESSURE AND VENTILATION
SYSTEMS MARKET
Certex UK – one of the nation’s leading suppliers of lifting gear and services – is branching into the pressure and ventilation systems market with the launch of a new service division.
Operating from Certex’s Great Yarmouth office, the division will provide a full range of expert services across the UK from product supply and installation, repair and maintenance through to inspection, testing and certification. It will also address clients’ legal responsibilities by ensuring that equipment conforms to current legislation, including PSSR and COSHH.
Orders have already been secured with a number of companies – including a project with Thames Water to extract methane gas from plant in waste water application sites – and Certex is currently seeking contracts with other utility providers.
Heading up the new service division is Lee Bullen who has over 12 years’ experience of working with various utilities companies, including Thames Water, Anglian Water and National Grid. “There is a lot of overlap between Certex’s core lifting gear business and the ventilation and pressure systems market with both types of equipment requiring periodic inspection, testing and certification,” he said.
“Certex has a wealth of experience in servicing this type of industry and specialises in offering clients a complete solution package. The company will also be able to provide industry-led training packages and other support services, such as computerised certification management.”
The division has the capability to service all kinds of equipment found throughout the utility industry, from small compressed air systems widely used in workshops to 10,000-litre air water receivers. Its services also cover a range of ventilation systems, including those used to remove foul air/welding fumes or larger more complex gas extraction systems found on main water or sewerage sites.
