Design and Fabrication

G-Source’s engineers work with customers to develop bespoke ground source manifold layouts. The key drivers are to minimise your costs, reduce material content, and simplify the overall layout, whist optimising manifold performance. At all points in the process you will be able to approve the developement to ensure that the end product will suit your exact requirements.

G-Source’s engineers use 3-D CAD systems enabling them to verify the buildability and performance of each design.

G-Source has one of the UK’s largest and best-equipped facilities for polyethylene fabrications. Manifold and chamber fabrication primarily involves the cutting and extrusion welding of polyethylene sheets and pipework. Should the need arise, however, G-Source’s fabricators have access to a portfolio of fabrication skills as outlined below:

Specialist PE fabrications

Capacity & complexity

Cutting-out.jpgThe Pipe Systems Division (PSD) of Fusion Provida has over 25,000 sq ft devoted to the creation of specialist polymer fabrications as diverse as complex manifolds for landfill gas collection systems to offshore Fast Rescue Craft up to 40’ in length.

Diversity & availability

demanding lead times.

Normality & dependability

In addition to its special capabilities, PSD also make a range of standard polyethylene pipe fabrications such as segmented bends and pupped fittings and endeavours to maintain off-the-shelf sticks of the most popular lines.

Quality & artistry

Cutting-out-2.jpgPSD has achieved ISO 9002 accreditation for all its fabrication and manufacturing activities. Whilst PSD recognises that the most important aspect of its work is to produce fabrications that meet all functional requirements and technical specifications, we realise that our fabrications are often part of systems that are visible to both your client and, in many cases, to the general public. Consequently, we pay great attention to producing a finished product that will maintain your reputation - and, of course, promote ours!

Functionality & ingenuity

PSD-Home-Standard-Fabrications-IMG_3142.jpgWorking primarily in polyethylene, PVC, and polypropylene, PSD’s capabilities are limited only by your imagination. As illustrated in this brochure, PSD is able to call on a vast selection of fabrication techniques to create exactly what you need. In many cases, PSD is able to offer design guidance to ensure optimal performance and to identify possible cost engineering benefits. PSD’s engineers can also advise as to the most appropriate material to use in your specific application.
