Q2 / REVIEW


Welcome to our quarterly newsletter and what a busy 3 months it has been at Pipetech. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights.

We had a fantastic time at Utility Week Live 2025! Our team, along with Ravetti and Kleiss, were thrilled to showcase our cutting-edge pipeline solutions and connect with so many wonderful professionals from the utility sector.


There was so much excitement around The Ravetti H4 FlowStop, designed especially for large-diameter line-stopping operations. It was a true showstopper. The GECO MKII also stole the show, attracting attention on both our stand and the Cadent stand. We loved the engaging conversations we had about our FlowLock range—so many great questions that sparked informative discussions about its benefits and capabilities. Our team was delighted to share their insights and expertise with everyone who stopped by!


A huge thank you to all who visited our stand. We truly appreciate your interest and support!

CONTINUED ADVENTURES ABROAD

In June, our Managing Director, James, ventured to Poland to continue the European trials of the GECO MKII. During this exciting trial, we successfully decommissioned an 800-meter section of a 16-inch medium-pressure main. Instead of venting to the atmosphere, we used two GECO units working together to transfer the gas, which is a vital step in reducing the environmental impact of methane, known to be more harmful than CO2.


And the cherry on top? The trial site was nestled in a beautiful rural forest—what a fantastic backdrop!



CAPPAGH OPEN DAY

June was filled with networking opportunities when James and Sales Manager Sharon attended a Cappagh Innovation Day. They had a great time showcasing some of our solutions, including FlowStop and our brand-new Hydrant Conversion Kit. This was a valuable opportunity to catch up with existing customers and explore potential opportunities with new ones.


WELCOME TO THE TEAM

We're super excited to welcome two new members to our team! Graham is joining us as our new Technical Engineering Lead, and Paul is coming on board as a Workshop Fitter. Both are already proving to be valuable members of the team.
