Our 5th Energy magazine is hot of the press

In this edition of Energy we officially launch our excellent new Boilerhouse Log Book. Its impressive quality, extensive information, full compliance with BG01 and ease of use means it’s selling like hot cakes - in fact, we’ve already printed a second run due to demand.

There’s also news on our new premium quality training literature that supports our respected courses. It’s taken quite a while to develop it, with hundreds of pages of text and dozens of specially commissioned full colour drawings and diagrams. Nevertheless, when I hear it’s already being described as ‘the gold standard’ in training notes, it’s clear that all the time and effort has been worthwhile.

Mark Smith takes us through the important work of our busy export department as it navigates the complex web of international standards, laws and import duties to deliver Cochran boilers, burners and equipment to the world. A combination of our own globetrotting experts and an extensive network of trusted regional partners helps ensure we provide international service and support that measures up to the exemplary standards that Cochran is famous for. I’m pleased to say that, today, exports account for some 45% of all our new boiler sales.

This issue also sees the first in a series of articles on the wide variety of engineering disciplines required to construct a Cochran boiler. ‘Platers’ are some of the real unsung heroes of the business; research and development, welders and pipefitters all quickly come to mind in boilermaking, but Platers are the people who cut and form the parts to exacting standards, that everyone else puts together.

Finally I’d like to congratulate the three recipients of our long service awards, Chris, Bob and of course forty year veteran, Gary. Between them they have eighty years of experience, making them a real asset to Cochran. They’re all working within the Aftermarket Projects Team. The work of Aftermarket Projects is covered in depth later in the magazine; it’s an excellent service that helps extend the operational life of boilers and maximises their efficiency by retrofitting the latest technology.
