Distribution deal signed for pneumatics products
Eriks UK has signed an extended distribution contract with SMC Pneumatics (UK), the world leader in pneumatic technology.
Wyko's Mike Brook said: "We supplied a comprehensive proposal and our local team lead by Jim Rive has worked well with Fleet on previous contracts, and we feel that this gave Fleet confidence in us to deliver".
Fleet Support has the order to refit HMS Richmond and announced at the beginning of September that it had also been awarded a £134m pound contract by BAE Systems to overhaul, prepare and transfer three Royal Navy type 23 frigates, HMS Grafton, HMS Marlborough and HMS Norfolk, to the Chilean Navy.
Wyko will carry out condition testing and visual inspections of the ships' motors and pumps, including electrical, thermal, noise, vibration and lubrication analysis.
The data will be used to identify any potential issues and let Wyko judge the cost and timescale of repairs.
Any repairs that are carried out will be guaranteed and are likely to boost performance and efficiency as well as improving reliability.
Environmental factors such as increased moisture levels, salt and extreme ambient operating temperatures will also be factored in. Request free introductory details about products from Eriks UK ...
