Selby Swing Bridge – a group effort

28 April, 2016

Flow from the pump is passed through a pressure line filter with clogging indicator and then to a manifold assembly. Mounted on this manifold were the solenoid valves, relief valve, pilot operated check valves and some of the flow control valves. Duplomatic valves were selected as they offer a corrosion resistant zinc nickel finish as an option on some of their valves. A second, smaller, manifold, with the same material specifications was also mounted to the skid complete with dual flow control valves on it.

HES Tractec, another division of Group HES, also provided their expertise to the project – the specialist engineers built and installed the large Comer planetary gearbox and 90 degree drive transfer adapter, which rotate the bridge.

There aren’t many companies out there that have all the different skill set and expertise, required to complete such a complex job. This project is just one example of how Group HES uses their depth and breadth of service to provide unique engineering solutions under one contract.

High regarded

The group manager Simon Dickinson was delighted at the full turnkey effort and in his words: “The value of having a company to manage and carry out a multidiscipline project like this from start to finish is highly regarded. Our work ethic is to understand the customers’ needs and deliver the quality we illustrate and promise. The effort was fantastic but not at all surprising…great result.”
