Compressed air engineering services
From plant survey to a commissioned piping network.
ShiftAir supports compressed air, vacuum, nitrogen and industrial-fluid projects with layout design, pipe sizing, pressure-drop analysis, BOM preparation, installation guidance and technical support.
End-to-end capability
A technical partner for efficient, future-ready plant distribution.
ShiftAir supports projects from initial plant assessment and network design through material planning, installation guidance, commissioning and technical support.
The engineering approach considers air demand, operating pressure, route length, pressure drop, air velocity, future expansion and the fittings required for a reliable closed-loop or branch distribution layout.
- Customised plant layout design
- Pipe sizing and routing selection
- Bill of Materials and cost estimation
- Energy-saving and ROI analysis
- Turnkey installation support
- On-site guidance and team training
Layouts are engineered for smooth full-bore transmission, modular expansion and reduced leak risk.
Technical assistance
Six services that move a project from concept to execution.
Select a service to view its role, project inputs and typical deliverables.
Project workflow
From plant requirement to a commissioned network.
A structured delivery path keeps sizing, material planning, installation and handover aligned.
Requirement capture
Application, flow demand, pressure, compressor capacity and expansion plans.
Plant survey
Route conditions, pipe lengths, drops, equipment points and installation constraints.
Engineering
Diameter selection, routing, accessories, slope and pressure-drop optimisation.
BOQ & proposal
Transparent Bill of Materials, project estimate and commercial quotation.
Execution
Material supply, modular assembly, installation guidance and on-site support.
Handover & support
Commissioning, team training, documentation and ongoing technical consultation.
Design engineering
Every layout is evaluated as an operating system—not just a pipe route.
Design support is built around reliable delivery pressure, controlled velocity, low pressure loss, safe installation and the ability to extend the network later.
Installation guidance
Technical details that protect performance after installation.
ShiftAir guidance addresses routing, thermal movement, support, condensate management and modular joint assembly.
Evaluate straight-run lengths and use expansion joints, loops or flexible hoses where temperature variation requires movement.
Use directional slope, top take-offs and drain points at the lowest ends of main and sub-headers.
Position clips to avoid sag and vibration while permitting controlled thermal movement.
On-site guidance, manuals and training support correct push-fit or clamp-fit assembly.
Applications
Engineered for diverse manufacturing environments.
The catalogue identifies these sectors as core application areas for ShiftAir systems and technical services.
Quality commitment
10-year warranty support.
The catalogue states that ShiftAir will repair or replace components that fail because of a manufacturing or material defect within ten years of installation, subject to the stated operating and inspection conditions.
- Products must operate within recommended technical parameters.
- ShiftAir engineers require access to inspect the affected product.
- Unauthorised modifications, mishandling or operation outside limits can invalidate coverage.
