SPS provides specialist tube and pipe manipulation services from our fully equipped facility in Hull. From simple bends to complex multi-plane fabrications, our experienced engineers produce precision pipework to your exact specification using a range of materials and techniques.

With nearly 40 years of experience serving the oil and gas, energy, manufacturing, and construction sectors, we understand that accuracy in pipe manipulation is critical to system performance, safety, and fit-up on site. Every piece we produce is manufactured to drawing and inspected before dispatch.

Our Capabilities

Our Hull workshop is equipped with manual and CNC bending equipment alongside a full range of fabrication tools. Key capabilities include:

• Pipe and tube bending: single-plane and multi-plane bends to tight tolerances, from small-bore instrument tubing to large-diameter process pipe
• Forming and swaging: end forming, expanding, reducing, and swaging to create custom transitions and connections
• Flaring: single and double flaring for instrumentation, hydraulic, and brake line applications
• Welding and fabrication: TIG, MIG, and coded welding to produce complete pipe assemblies, manifolds, and skid-mounted systems
• Cutting to length: precision cutting of pipe and tube stock to your specified dimensions
• Prototype and production runs: from one-off bespoke pieces to repeat batch production

Materials We Work With

We have extensive experience manipulating a wide range of materials. Our team understands the specific handling requirements of each, from the springback characteristics of stainless steel to the heat sensitivity of aluminium.

If your project involves a material not listed here, get in touch. We regularly work with non-standard and specialist materials to meet bespoke requirements.
