Service facility expanded

As an authorised distributor for the RAE portable gas monitors, Ashtead Technology has invested in a new service and calibration facility that has been expanded to cope with growing demand from customers.

The company's Letchworth based service team have all received comprehensive training by RAE and the new service and calibration workshop is fully equipped with the necessary specialist tools and spares in addition to a wide range of calibration gases. Service manager Dave Mills says: "We are now able to service and calibrate the entire range of RAE toxic gas monitors in addition to the other gas detectors and monitors that we rent or sell to customers." The calibration facility has been stocked with certified calgas bottles for all of the most commonly required gases for health and safety, confined space, leak detection, contaminated land and emissions monitoring applications. These include VOCs, CO, CO2, NO, NO2, H2S, LEL (CH4) and Isobutylene.

The new facility offers a rapid turnaround time for service jobs - typically 3 to 5 days, in addition to discounts for loan units and for customers with multiple units.
