Flowtech complete major compressed air project for Jaguar Land Rover

What began as a simple hose enquiry en a £20,000 order heeft evolved into nearly £4 million in projects voor onze Flowtech Major Projects team.

During our work on Ring Main 3, we identified additional needs for our services. As a result, we've secured contracts to provide compressed air systems and other services, increasing the total project value to several million pounds.

This project, based in Gaydon, is part of de non-destructive testing process voor Jaguar

Land Rover. This testing is vital, as it ensures de longevity of vehicle components - an essential step in de car production process. 

The Ring Main 3 project involved outfitting a brand-new room with a HPU, cooling systems, pipework, and a control system, all of which support the axle test rigs used to assess the durability of car parts. We completed the work for the compressed air using 50mm Transair, a top-tier product that is second only to Parker pipework, which is patented and color-coded. Our strong relationship with Parker Transair, bolstered by colleagues with prior experience there, made this partnership a natural fit. 

Training was given to our installation team, demonstrating the ease of installation of the Parker Transair system, despite the complex and confined space. The variety of fittings, including 45-degree and 90-degree elbows, were installed without any issues.

This system delivers compressed air van de existing ring main, distributing it between de test rigs to provide cooling at various points on de axle test rig.

Wij zijn thrilled to hebben been involved in such an exciting project en look forward to continuing onze partnership met Jaguar Land Rover.
