IN-HOUSE FABRICATION

Our Fabrication Workshop provides complete valve packages, from producing custom valve operating equipment, such as off-set extension spindles and T-Keys, to assembling and function testing valves and actuators to ensure safe on-site use.

Valves Case Studies

Air Valves & Hydraulic Analysis Ensure Pumping Efficiency

One of Europe’s largest paper manufacturers came to our experts for air valve positioning on their new industrial effluent processing plant, set to pump waste 500m via a network of overhead steel pipes.

With needing to accommodate a pre-existing layout and the distance the medium was to be pumped, carefully positioned air valves were needed to ensure efficient flow.

Reduction Spur Gearbox for Out-of-Hours Emergency

When one of the UK's largest water utilities providers was faced with an emergency repair job at a wastewater treatment station, T-T Flow® worked out of hours to help.

Thanks to a large stock of valves and actuation equipment, our team of experts were able to specify and despatch the perfect spur gearbox for the job within hours of receiving the enquiry.

Non-Return Valves for the Thames Tideway Scheme

When a major Iraqi-based oil refinery required custom-actuated butterfly valves for a large-scale plant refurbishment, T-T's expert product knowledge, access to quality manufacturing partners and extensive export experience made us the ideal choice to deliver a robust, reliable and fully compliant customised solution both on-time and within budget.

In addition to the non-standard materials, the client specified actuator connectivity to integrate with existing control panels and operating philosophy.

Bespoke Replacement for Legacy Check Valves

While refurbishing a Water Treatment Works under Southern Water (treating over 62 million litres of water per day), contractors discovered an obsolete valve that they struggled to identify and replace. An off-the-shelf solution was an option for the replacement; however, the site would have needed to undergo costly pipework modification to accommodate the new valve.

The team worked closely with the site’s engineers to determine the valve's primary function and its necessary critical dimensions.
