Defence

KW Designed Solutions work closely with world-leading global defence and security component manufacturers who have forged solid reputations in providing underwater systems for naval forces as a result of high-performance solutions and key investment in key research areas.

We have designed a bespoke hyperbaric testing system with an internal volume in excess of 28,000 litres, with a 2.2 metre internal bore. Complete with a fully automated fluid management system to directly simulate the challenging deep ocean conditions.

Using our expertise, we also provide cost-effective recertifying services allowing existing pressure testing systems and equipment to be brought back into service meeting all current relevant legislation. Recently, multiple items of special-purpose pressure testing equipment, including large volume pressure vessels in excess of 24,000 litres and high-flow, large-bore pressure control systems were brought back into service. This approach saved our customer a six-figure sum and 8-10 months of down-time when compared to a brand new supplied option.

We also provide A Written Scheme of Examination in line with the Pressure System Safety Regulations (PSSR:2000). This ensures the systems we provide are inspected annually, in line with all current relevant legislation.

Subsea

KW supply hyperbaric pressure testing systems directly to OEMs, who develop subsea technologies and products used in marine and ocean engineering for use in extreme, harsh deep water locations.

Materials Science

Over many years we have designed, manufactured and supplied advanced HPHT autoclave testing platforms to world-leading materials testing providers, that specialise in the analysis and testing of specific materials, making certain that these materials are safe, quality and compliant, where failure is never an option.

Universities

We regularly work alongside world-renowned universities and academic research institutions that conduct experimental research and test regimes, we produce a diverse range of test platforms with the highest level of accuracy, allowing them to conduct their in-depth studies.

Nuclear

We design, manufacture and supply advanced hyperbaric test chambers to customers in the nuclear industry, specialising in the containment and management of toxic waste, hazardous solids and gases.

Defence

Working closely with our customers in the defence and security sector which specialise in developing technological innovations that require rigorous design verification, for deployment in challenging environments globally. We provide them with advanced hyperbaric testing systems with automated pressure and temperature control systems.
