Design & Fabrication
Design & Manufacturing Excellence
At Specialist Plant, we combine in-house engineering expertise with practical, hands-on experience to deliver innovative plant solutions tailored to the unique demands of complex infrastructure projects. Our design and manufacturing capabilities allow us to create bespoke equipment and modifications that enhance safety, improve performance, and drive efficiency on site.
Our team works closely with project engineers and delivery teams to fully understand operational challenges. From early design concepts to fully engineered solutions, we apply creativity, precision, and technical rigour at every stage. Whether it’s custom-built lifting equipment, tunnelling support structures, or site-specific adaptations, we engineer solutions that are robust, compliant, and built to last.
Pipe Brake Platform
Designed and fabricated in-house, our pipe brake platforms ensure safe, stable, and controlled handling of pipes during jacking operations. Built to meet project-specific requirements, they form part of our wider offering of bespoke engineered solutions.
Blanking Can
Precision-engineered and fabricated to specification, this blanking can is designed to seal the tunnel once the machine has been removed on a long sea outfall, ensuring the safety of those still operating within the tunnel and drive shaft.
Launch Shaft Equipment Access
This detailed general arrangement drawing showcases a custom-designed access platform system for launch shaft operations. Developed in-house, it provides safe, multi-level access to key components such as the pipe brake and discharge pump, enabling efficient equipment handling, maintenance, and operation during tunnelling works. Part of our bespoke fabrication capabilities, it’s tailored to meet specific site requirements and operational safety standards.
