SPS provides on-site consultancy services for businesses across the UK, bringing our nearly 40 years of pipe, hose, and engineering expertise directly to your premises. Whether you need a hose audit, a pipework assessment, technical advice on a specific project, or ongoing engineering support, our consultants work alongside your team to deliver practical, actionable solutions.
Our consultancy service is the starting point for many of the projects we undertake. By assessing your requirements on the ground, we can identify the right approach, specify the correct materials and components, and plan the work accurately before anything is manufactured or installed.
What We Can Help With
Our on-site consultancy covers a broad range of assessments and advisory services, including:
- Hose surveys and audits: full inspection and documentation of all hose assets on your site, identifying condition issues, non-compliance, and replacement priorities
- Pipework assessments: evaluation of existing pipework systems to identify wear, corrosion, leaks, or areas requiring upgrade or replacement
- Project scoping and specification: working with your engineering team to define requirements, specify materials, and plan fabrication and installation work
- System design support: advising on pipe routing, sizing, material selection, and connection methods for new installations or modifications
- Compliance reviews: assessing your pipe and hose systems against relevant regulations, including PSSR and PED requirements
- Maintenance planning: developing scheduled maintenance and replacement programmes based on condition assessment and risk
- Emergency response: rapid on-site assessment following equipment failure, with recommendations for repair or replacement
How It Works
Our consultancy engagements are straightforward and designed to fit around your operations:
- Initial discussion: We start with a conversation to understand your requirements, the scope of the visit, and any specific concerns or objectives.
- Site visit: Our consultant visits your premises to carry out the assessment, inspection, or advisory work. We work around your schedule to minimise disruption.
- Findings and recommendations: We provide a clear report covering our findings, recommendations, and proposed next steps. This includes prioritised actions, specifications, and costings where applicable.
- Implementation support: If the recommended work falls within our service range, we can carry it through from consultancy to completion, including fabrication, assembly, testing, and installation support.
