Mechanical Project Manager Background

Shane Clement, Mechanical Project Manager at BFL Engineering Services Ltd, needed a reliable and accurate solution for conducting pressure tests before commencing work on refurbishment projects. Traditionally, these tests were performed using flow cups, which often provided less precise readings. More accurate analogue testers were also considered but came with a higher cost, typically starting at £150 or more.

After reading about AquaScan in Gas Safe magazine, Shane decided to purchase a unit from a local supplier. Since then, AquaScan has become a vital tool in his workflow, offering improved accuracy and ease of use.

Mechanical Project Manager Feedback

Shane and his team have shared their experience of using AquaScan:

• Provides more precise readings than traditional flow cups.
• Allows for testing multiple points with greater accuracy compared to traditional analogue testers.
• Staff members found it easy to operate thanks to it intuitive design.
• The digital readout is clear and easy for clients and designers to interpret. Making it easy to show the client the readings when testing.
• Everything needed for testing comes in a single box.

“I purchased the tester as we got a few refurbishment projects at the moment, and as a mechanical contractor, we are always asked to provide pressure tests before any work is carried out. Normally, we’d use a flow cup, which isn’t the most accurate, and all the other more precise analogue testers were coming in at £150 upwards.

I saw AquaScan in Gas Safe magazine and got one from a local supplier. All the reports from staff members say it’s so easy to use, more accurate, and has received great feedback from clients and designers. The bonus is that you can show the client the digital readout as you are testing, and it’s easy for them to interpret as it’s so clear to read.

We have had it for about six months and used it 6-7 times with ease so far.

For commercial use, I thoroughly recommend it.”
