Our solutions
We offer a range of solutions to suit your needs:
Leak detection surveys
Our highly experienced SF6 engineers can carry out leak detection surveys on your site using specialist thermal imaging technology, either to locate a specific leak or to survey entire SF6 filled installations; such as Gas Insulated Switchgear substations. This allows us to make strong recommendations as to where closer monitoring and repairs may be required.
Gas leak repairs
We will work with you to develop gas leak repair solutions that will be tailored to your site specifications to reduce financial and environmental cost. We use bespoke reporting tailored to your requirements. These reports identify the location of your leaks and can form the basis of a rectification plan.
Top-ups
Our experts can attend your site with equipment to empty or top up your SF6 assets. We can complete this service both pre and post maintenance. Alternatively, we can top up leaking assets for them to continue performing until a repair can be carried out.
Gas handling
Our team will use specialist gas handling equipment to remove and temporarily store SF6, allowing us to perform the necessary maintenance to restore your asset.
