Big future in the pipeline

UK-based ESCS Pipe Coating Systems brings together Roger Clark, Steve Jones and Shaun McDonald, three experienced engineers in the sector, boasting more than 70 years of experience of in-situ spray application.

By launching the new company, the trio have created a one-stop shop for those requiring the application of a protective coating within the internals of static pipes.

Once approval is received from the Drinking Water Inspectorate, it is said that ESCS Pipe Coating Systems will be the first company to offer both the specialist paint and the state-of-the-art machinery to carry out the specialised jobs for worldwide water authorities, as well as companies owning gas or sewer lines.

The new company is part of Middlesbrough firm ESCS, a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of surface preparation and surface coating equipment that recently completed a wide-ranging order for the South Caucasus Pipeline Expansion Project.
