Testimonials:
"At the beginning of December 2005, Oldbury Power Station set Alstec and WS&H the challenge of manufacturing 18off standpipe assemblies (SPAs), and to deliver the first of these by 19th April 2006. I was very pleased to learn that the first SPA was received on 13th April 2006: the challenge has certainly been met. This represents an excellent performance ahead of programme and to budget whilst addressing the manufacturing issues that arose. I was pleased to see good team working ina disciplined contract environment with a collective approach to addressing the technical issues." J. Lamonby, Site Manager, BNG Oldbury Power Station.

"Just a note to day thanks for the excellent response to Heysham 2 request for a spare Eucron copuling and associated data for the two types of coupling. The coupling enabled the rebuild of the Fuelling Machine, machine valve cam box to progress without delay. The data enabled the Engineering change to be specified as category 3 and not category 2 as first thought, which again speeded up the progress." David Simmons, British Energy.
