Let us help you
In a Catch-22 scenario, no resources available, client looking for immediate solution, staff leaving, no in-house experience, cannot innovate products to out perform competition, limited budget available, looking for options to get a competitive advantage through cost reduction, material usage, supplier selection, or improve environmentally friendly sourcing (including reshoring to UK or Europe) ?
Or maybe you are using or selling products that just keep failing and do not know why.
Let us help.
CPS22 is a family owned business and provides a one-stop shop for your solution.

Aspects of my varied and significant work experience
Cable Protection System Innovation, Design, Analysis, Prototypes, Testing, Failure Investigations.
I have tested a vast array of CPS configurations to destruction and am aware of most of the failure modes which are now in proliferation. My preference is to get in at the early stages of the project, as most of the 'mistakes' are made when the Project Teams are purely looking at cost and track record. No-one wants to highlight their failures, but I have seen most of them, so no need to worry about Confidentiality, what I see and learn stays with me and why you will not find examples of my CPS observations and experiences in the public domain.

500-Tonne Abandonment & Recovery System
300-Tonne Winching System
100-Tonne Bulky Item Handler
Complicated wire rope configuration, very large sheaves, in a tight space, requiring weight optimisation.
48 Tonne, 100m+ J-Lay Tower Loading Arm
4 Synchronised Hydraulically Clamping Arms
90 Degree Rotation, with Multi-Sheave Lifting Points
48 Tonne Saftey Shoe to protect Operators
10,000 individual parts, DNV Approved, 29 Specialist Engineers, Hand Calculations, FEA & Fatigue Analysis, Operating 24/7.
Telehandler Extending Boom & Chassis
Access Platform for Telehandler
2, 3 and 4 section hydraulic booms for the agriculture, industrial & construction industries
I can reverse engineer most parts and systems.
More importantly, I can use the latest materials, processing and production techniques to minimise corrosion, UV degradation and maximise the quality.
I have designed, tested and seen parts after failure during service, in the terresterial, offshore, topside and subsea sectors.
Parts can be supplied to your business or direct to individuals.
CPS22 can supply CNC machined parts from bar stock, castings or forgings. Some parts can now be 3D printed. Materials we have worked with include, brass, nickel, chrome, steel, stainless steel, super duplex, inconel, aluminium, rubber, high performance polymers (compression & injection mouldings and open / vacuum cast), and carbon fibre. This includes parts for steering systems, suspension, driving instrumentation, engines, aluminium & steel welded assemblies, baffles, ducts, gaiters, gears, housings, superchargers, linkages, 'jewellery' (handles, mirrors, lights, levers, springs, caps, guides, mechanisms, bezels, seals, bump stops and switches).
