impact FTPS and the group as a whole . “ As of May 2024 , FT Gas Control , FT Water Treatment , and FT Ductile were set up as their own limited companies , separating the business divisions from FTPS . The first stage of this investment involved separating the steel pipe supply business and transitioning the other three divisions , thus making four distinct companies . This was an expensive and time-consuming process given that every operation was intertwined and needed unpicking . In terms of warehousing , over the last two years , we have gone from having a single central location in Lichfield to having separate facilities for FT Gas Control and FT Water Treatment . At present , our head office in Lichfield primarily serves FT Ductile , while FTPS has its own warehouse and pipe storage where we can store some materials for projects . All these developments have taken place to ensure that each of our four
limited organisations has their own feet to stand on ,” he enlightens .
Advanced innovation
Shifting his focus back on FTPS , Ian reveals that the company is currently involved in the development of cutting-edge pipe tracker technology . He tells us more about the benefits of such advanced innovation . “ One of the main considerations for our clients , apart from quality , is traceability . Steel pipes are unique due to their high level of traceability , as each pipe has its own pipe number that can be traced back to heat numbers of the slab production . While there may be multiple pipes made from a single heat number or set of coils , each pipe has its own identification . As a result , should there be any issues , we can trace each pipe through the manufacturing process , and ultimately to the original certification for that batch of steel ,” he unveils .
