Complete pipework systems with glass linings

Globalization is resulting in mounting pressure on costs in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. More-over, this pressure is apparent at all levels. No wonder that new solutions are being sought when investments are to be made in new plants, expansion projects or repairs and maintenance. One common and concurrent new way to go is to implement pipework with glass linings.
New trends are becoming apparent. Previously large manufacturers utilized their own in-house engineering departments or engineering contractors. This meant placing several orders with a number of suppliers. Coordination problems amongst the participants often led to problems and delays. These manufacturers are now beginning to rely more and more on the engineering and design services that some leading suppliers can offer.
