Rapid action was called for by
Wellman Robey Boiler Hire
Division when it received an urgent
call from the Warton plant of BAE
Systems, where the British sector of
the ‘Euro fighter’ is manufactured.

The company had suffered a
complete boiler house failure that
threatened its scheduled production.

The boiler house provides High
Pressure Hot Water that is crucial to
the pressurised hot air units involved
in final surface finishing processes.

The call came in the morning of
3rd June and by 14:00h the same day
the Wellman Robey Boiler Hire
manager was at a site meeting to
assess requirements. Although not a
was able to provide a trailerised
1.9kW HPHWboiler with separate
pressurisation unit, 21,000L bunded
oil tank and a generator.

Wellman Robey’s engineers
worked around the clock and the
plant was operational by late evening
on 7th June.
