We deliver the Safeship™ at sea and the Safesite™ on land by designing and manufacturing key measuring and monitoring technologies for safety-critical infrastructure globally. Customer sectors include shipping, offshore and renewable energy, the built environment, fire safety engineering, industry, manufacturing, defence, and security.
Sustainability
We are proud to comply with ISO 14001 standards for the environmental management of systems and our ultrasonic technology is non–damaging to the environment and to the people using them.
Aiming to carbon off-set all our deliveries we deliver to customers using DHL Climate Neutral Services and Heathrow to air freight our instrumentation. Heathrow have committed to supporting sustainability as outlined in their report and are aiming cut carbon by 45 per cent by 2030.
We are proud member of Innovate UK’s Net Zero Heat Cohort, working to provide technology to support the United Kingdom’s transition to Net Zero. One of our newest inventions, the Portascanner® AIRTIGHT which has been developed in part with research and development funding from Innovate UK, alongside Leeds Beckett University, derives from the Portascanner® WATERTIGHT PLUS. We will proudly offer Portascanner® AIRTIGHT to the global market as an example of British innovation in support of sustainable goal.
Our Global Distribution Network
We are grateful to each of our distributors network for all their work in partnership with us.
As a global leader in ultrasonic instrumentation, we are proud of our industry-leading products and record. We partner with companies that have vision, energy and the determination to do what is right in a demanding world. Our Distributors experience the opportunity to launch world-first technology to their customers, and benefit from exclusivity in their chosen market sectors.
Our company and each of our distributors are committed to upholding the Safeship™ and Safesite™ principles:
Safeship™: Our instruments are installed on 17% of the world’s 60,000 ships, safeguarding against catastrophic failures by monitoring watertight integrity and ensuring the safe containment of fire-extinguishing gases like CO2. These principles underpin our status as a Safeship™ company in the maritime sector.
Safesite™: Serving over 20 market sectors, our instruments ensure that safety-critical systems—such as gaseous fire suppression systems, sprinkler systems, and process control equipment in high-value assets—function effectively. In the Built Environment, our technology identifies airtightness and energy loss. This commitment makes us a Safesite™ company on land.
We partner with companies that have vision, energy and the determination to do what is right in a demanding world.
