We exist because industry demands that complex projects which involve thermoplastics for the transportation, storage, processing and scrubbing of chemicals require highly skilled specialists.
SCPS Group recognises that there are only a limited number of specialists in the UK capable of dealing with those projects on a turnkey basis and who have:
- Specialist knowledge and experience of complex thermoplastic projects
- Sufficient capacity (people, plant, place) to deliver
- Compliance with SHEQ requirements
- Knowledge of critical standards.
The Safety-Critical Plastics Solutions Group includes long-established thermoplastics specialists, giving us unrivalled geographic spread across the UK as well as depth of technical and hands-on experience:
- Industrial Engineering Plastics Limited
- Roperhurst Limited
- Marcol Fabrications (Plastics) Limited
- Plastratum Limited
- Red 14 Plastics Limited
Each group company stands on its own with a comprehensive list of blue chip clients established over many years.
The Group’s current and prior management team has been at the forefront of the development of standards with HVCA (now BESA).
- Graham Handley (former director, Roperhurst) chaired the technical panel which published DW154, the UK standard for industrial plastic ductwork in 2000.
- Bob Lane (former director, Roperhurst) was Chairman of the UK ductwork group which published the revision to DW144, the UK Specification for Sheet Metal Ductwork, in 2013
