Services
Hot air welding
Hot air welding utilises precision Swiss-made equipment for thermoplastic fabrication and repairs. Our BAK RiOn and WeldOn series provide consistent heat control for applications in membrane welding, tarpaulin repairs, and industrial flooring. The technology ensures strong, durable seams in materials like PVC and polyethylene, supported by custom welding kits and temperature monitoring systems.
Butt-fusion welding
Butt-fusion welding employs Italian-made Ritmo machines for joining polyethylene pipes in water, gas, and drainage systems. Our range covers diameters from 40mm to 1600mm, featuring automated alignment and pressure control systems. The process creates homogeneous joints with tensile strength matching the parent material, suitable for critical infrastructure projects requiring leak-proof connections.
Electrofusion welding
Electrofusion welding uses Ritmo-certified equipment to create high-integrity pipe connections through embedded heating elements. Our systems handle diameters from 20mm to 1600mm, with programmable weld cycles for consistent results in challenging environments. This method is ideal for complex networks requiring minimal preparation and maximum joint reliability in gas and water distribution systems.
Testing equipment
Testing equipment ensures weld integrity through vacuum testing, tensile analysis, and infrared thermometry. Our BAK TestOn tensiometers and IRtek thermometers verify weld strength and temperature consistency during installation. These tools meet international standards for quality control in geocivil engineering, roofing membranes, and industrial piping systems.
Equipment hire
Equipment hire provides access to premium welding machines and tooling for short-term projects. Our fleet includes Ritmo butt-fusion machines, Leister extrusion welders, and Caldertech automatic systems. This service supports contractors needing specialised equipment without capital investment, backed by technical guidance and maintenance support during rental periods.
