24/7 joint expansion hotline
November 1st 2008 Engineers concerned with the
health of an expansion joint
can now ring an emergency
response line. The new service from
James Walker Townson offers
inspection of the problem within
24h, anywhere in the UK.
"A failure in an expansion joint
can be catastrophic and lead to
huge losses in downtime," said Bill
Evans, managing director of James
Walker Townson. "With our new
emergency service, companies can
receive a rapid assessment of any
problems so they can have the
fault remedied as soon as
possible."
The service is open to all
companies in the UK, not just
James Walker Townson customers.
The freephone number, 0800
7833022, operates 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
Expansion joints are used to
compensate for movement in pipes
and ducts due to temperature and
pressure changes and vibration.
They are an essential component
in a wide variety of applications,
including power generation, gas
turbines, petrochemical plants and
heating and ventilation systems. More articles from James Walker & Co Ltd: |
