Flexible Purchasing
Flexible purchasing support is required by the Defence sector. With lengthy project development schedules alongside reactive emergency installations which are time-critical and potentially life-threatening the purchasing of components and assemblies can have very different time-frames. On-going maintenance projects are lengthy and require meticulous detail, conformance and planning in addition, critical and crucial elements around fluid installations occasionally need emergency repair, support or re-design. Swagelok Bristol supports the order processes, design and installation time scales that are pertinent to differing situations locally and globally.
Swagelok Bristol works in trusted partnership with sub-contractors such as Lightfoot Defence. When pushing the boundaries of design and implementation it is critical that products that are rigorously safety tested and conform to the required standards. Seamlessly integrating custom designed solutions with previously installed Swagelok fluid systems allows for greater reassurance the complete fluid system is safe, reliable and performing optimally.
