Sales engineer for Arc Energy
WELD overlay cladding and fabrication
specialist Arc Energy Resources has
appointed Cliff Hall as sales engineer.
Mr Hall, who has more than ten years’
engineering experience in the machine
tool and laser profiling industries,
will initially focus on developing Arc
Energy’s close relationships with
existing customers in the oil and gas,
nuclear, marine and process industries.
Mr Hall is also tasked with building
new associations in growing sectors
such as wind and wave energy, where
the benefits of corrosion resistant alloy
cladding has the potential to extend the
life of plant and equipment, and reduce
maintenance downtime.
Commenting on the appointment,
managing director Alan Robinson said,
“We are delighted to welcome Cliff to
the team where his experience will be
invaluable in ensuring that Arc Energy
remains the partner of choice for the
supply of weld overlay cladding and
complex weld fabrications.”
Arc Energy’s expertise provides
protection against corrosion and wear
for a variety of process and pipeline
equipment for use in any hostile
environment. The company recently
made a major investment in two
new rotating head welding machines
costing £500,000. This has increased
productivity and extended the size and
scope of work it can handle, which
now includes complicated component
geometries for the full or partial cladding
and fabrication of a wide range of
component sizes weighing up to 15
tonnes.
The company’s in-house designed
cladding workstations feature state-of-
the-art control systems developed to suit
its customers’ specialised engineering
requirements, and can clad bores up
to four metres in diameter and areas of
restricted access within bores as small
as 20mm diameter.
Arc Energy also offers in-house test
weld, heat treatment, PMI and NDT
facilities. Industry certifications include
ISO 9001:2008 quality management,
ISO 3834-2 fusion welding of metallic
materials, and the internationally
renowned ASME U and R Stamps, as
well as ISO 14001:2004 environment
management, Investors in People and
OHSAS 18001:2007 Health & Safety
management system.
