From our Bridgend (South Wales, UK) facility we design and manufacture pressure vessels and pressurised columns for the petroleum, nuclear power, water and petrochemical industries, as well as a variety of shop-built carbon steel and stainless steel storage tanks and drums.
All types of pressure vessel in the oil and gas, water treatment, nuclear power and indeed all engineering sectors require routine testing to ensure they continue to meet industry regulations of safety and quality. Different types of pressure vessel will need testing at different times and frequencies, depending on the material they are made from,…
We are delighted to announce that Vessco Engineering have been able to return to our building as of this morning and, whilst we may have a few little niggles to work through due to the loss of power etc, we are essentially now back to normal working. Our Project Engineers will communicate with you individually…
This statement is to advise that on Friday night there was a large fire at the Bridgend Industrial Estate where Vessco Engineering is based. Luckily there was no injury to any persons and our building wasn’t damaged, but the fire was in the building opposite us and has led to ongoing access issues. At the moment the…
Abingdon-based pressure-vessel fabrication specialist LTi Metaltech acquires Bridgend-based Vessco Engineering Ltd The award-winning fabrication business, LTi Metaltech, completed the acquisition recently, with the former owner of Vessco Engineering, Julian Vance-Daniel, remaining in the combined group in a senior Business Development role. LTI Metaltech were ably supported and advised throughout the acquisition process by Oxford-based Shaw…
Pressure vessels must be designed and manufactured to operate safely at a specified pressure andtemperature, as the risks of poor design are significant. Pressure vessels that are unable towithstand the stresses caused by pressure and temperature extremes could fail, causing them torupture or explode. For this reason, pressure vessel manufacturers are bound by the EuropeanUnion’s…
As pressure vessels often contain fluids and gases that are hazardous or toxic, any vessel leak or failure risks becoming a serious health and safety incident. Fortunately, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods are available to identify any damage or flaws in the vessels that could cause such an event. The development and implementation of an NDT…
For our team of engineers at Vessco, one of the most exciting developments of the past year was our successful tender to supply pressure vessels to the Hinckley Point Nuclear Power Plant. Hinckley Point C, as the power station is formally known, is still in its early stages, although work at the site is well underway.…
A pressure vessel is ideally designed to hold liquids and gases at a much higher pressure than the normal atmospheric pressure. Industrial pressure vessels can be extremely large and pose the threat of fatal accidents. Therefore, the design of pressure vessels is strongly regulated around the world, especially in high-risk industries. Corrosion can be a…
Pressure vessels are installed in many different settings, owing to their demand in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, research, power generation, oil & gas, and storage among many others. Pressure vessels despite their robust construction, can be very sensitive to environmental factors arising from location. It is imperative that pressure vessel manufacturers and owners are aware…
