Service 07

Custom Solutions

Bespoke engineering, assemblies and packaged solutions for non-standard requirements.

Overview

Why this matters

Some requirements do not have a part number. Bespoke hydraulic power units, adapted assemblies, retrofit packages that have to fit an existing footprint — these need engineering input before procurement input. We scope, design, build and test packaged solutions against the duty and the constraints of the installation that already exists.

Capabilities

What this service covers

Requirement engineering

Duty, constraints and interfaces defined properly before any design work starts.

Packaged assemblies

Power units, skids and control assemblies built and tested as a complete deliverable.

Retrofit design

Solutions designed to fit existing footprints, connections and control interfaces.

Function testing

Assemblies tested against the specification before dispatch, with the test record supplied.

Commissioning support

Support during installation and commissioning, on site where the scope warrants it.

Process

How it works

A defined sequence, with the decision points made explicit so nothing is discovered late.

01
Scoping
We establish the duty, the constraints and what the installation will actually tolerate.
02
Concept and approval
A concept and outline design are agreed with you before detailed work proceeds.
03
Detailed design
Component selection, circuit and layout finalised, with drawings issued for approval.
04
Build
Assembly under a defined build standard with progress visible throughout.
05
Test
Function and performance testing against the agreed specification, documented.
06
Install and support
Delivery, installation support and commissioning assistance as required.

ManufacturingUnited Kingdom2024

Bespoke hydraulic power unit built to an existing machine footprint

Challenge: A 30-year-old press power unit was failing repeatedly, but the available floor area and existing pipework interfaces ruled out any standard replacement unit.
Result: The replacement unit was installed during a scheduled weekend. Oil temperature stabilised 14 °C lower than the original installation and unplanned press stoppages attributed to hydraulics fell to zero over the following year.

Obsolete drive platform migrated across a single shutdown window

Challenge: Pumping station drives had reached end of support, with no spares available and a control platform that could not be extended. The site could only be taken offline for 36 hours.
Result: All six drives were replaced and commissioned within the outage window, with parameter sets loaded before delivery. The station returned to automatic control 7 hours ahead of the plan.
