  • PRESS RELEASE

A major achievement has been recorded by the Harris Pye Group, the specialists in pressure vessel, boiler and combustion system repairs, upgrades, and installations, with the award of certificates of authorization from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and The National Board of Boiler & Pressure Vessel Inspectors for the use of the 'S', 'U' and 'R' stamps to each of their production facilities.

"This is a real feather in our cap," explains Malcolm Jordan, Managing Director of Harris Pye's Middle East operations.

Jordan added, "ASME accreditation is extremely difficult to achieve, and now, following individual inspections of each of our manufacturing plants, we have ASME approved production facilities in Dubai, Singapore and at Barry in Wales serving the Middle East, Far East and Europe. The combined accreditation, in addition to our ISO 9001.2000, enables us to manufacture boiler parts and pressure vessels and to carry out metallic repairs and/or alterations at our workshops and at any field sites."

"Importantly, accreditation enables us to produce the whole range of components in-house and thus significantly improve delivery of traditionally long lead time products like boilers and Heat Recovery Steam Generation (HRSG). Thus we are able to meet both quality and time requirements set by our clients. This is a very definite sign of our continuing, and dedicated, commitment to quality, and has already resulted in a significant number of major commitments and orders,"

he said.

Jordan added, "Indeed, soon after accreditation with ASME 'S', 'U', 'R' and 'NB' stamps, Harris Pye Singapore undertook the design and fabrication of a 70 cu.ft barite surge tank for a major drilling contractor working off Indonesia."
