Therco is delighted to announce this further addition to its accreditation arsenal. This latest certificate, issued by the National Board of Boiler & Pressure Vessel Inspectors, confirms Therco is now duly authorised to use the ‘R’ symbol in relation to Shop Based Repairs and/or Alterations.

From an Engineering & Safety point of view, the additional peace of mind which this can provide for Plant Engineers, Maintenance & Asset Managers (and of course their own Inspection Authorities) we believe, will be significant. Furthermore, from a commercial point of view, in the new world economy where budgets have been cut, we understand that ‘repair vs. replace’ decisions simply become much more difficult. At least where repairs or alterations are, for whatever reason, deemed essential, operators of our type of equipment can continue with confidence that the work is being conducted and certified strictly in accordance with the relevant code.

Finally, further positive news will follow shortly in respect of the significant sales growth in both pressure vessels and columns, at our sister plant, Vessco in Bridgend.
