But what exactly can this service provide? Let’s delve into the various aspects that make Spirax Sarco’s Advance Design Service a valuable investment.
A Solution Driven Service
At the heart of Spirax Sarco's Design Service is a commitment to delivering solutions that meet your specific needs. Whether you're looking to optimise an existing system or design a new one from scratch, our expert team focuses on providing a service that is driven by your operational goals. This solution-oriented approach ensures that the system design aligns perfectly with your business requirements, maximising efficiency and performance.
Design Specification
A critical component of our Design Service is the creation of a detailed design specification. This document outlines all the technical requirements and constraints of your system, ensuring that every element is considered during the design process. The specification is developed in close collaboration with your team, ensuring that it meets both your operational needs and industry standards.
P&ID
The Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) is a vital tool in the design and engineering process. Our experts create a comprehensive P&ID that visually represents the system's piping, control instrumentation, and other key components. This diagram serves as a blueprint for the construction and operation of your system, providing clarity and ensuring that all stakeholders are on the same page.
Equipment Schedule
An accurate and detailed equipment schedule is essential for the smooth execution of any project. Our team provides a meticulously prepared equipment schedule that lists all the necessary components, along with their specifications, quantities, and delivery estimate. This ensures that procurement and installation processes are streamlined, reducing the risk of delays and ensuring that your project stays on track.
Layout Drawings
Proper planning and spatial arrangement are crucial for the efficiency and safety of your system. We deliver precise layout drawings that detail the physical placement of all
equipment and piping within your facility. These drawings help in visualising the system within the available space, ensuring optimal arrangement and easy maintenance access.
Stress Analysis Report
Safety and reliability are paramount in steam and thermal energy systems. The Advance Design Service includes a thorough stress analysis report, which assesses the mechanical stress on pipes and equipment due to factors such as pressure, temperature, and external forces. This analysis helps identify potential issues before they arise, allowing for design adjustments that enhance system longevity and safety, and most importantly validates system compliance against the relevant design code.
Design Risk Assessment
Risk management is a critical aspect of any engineering project. At Spirax Sarco we conduct a comprehensive design risk assessment, identifying potential hazards and evaluating their impact on your system. This proactive approach allows for the implementation of safety measures and design modifications that minimise risks and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Functional Design / Controls Specification
Automation and control are integral to modern steam systems. Where required, our team provides a detailed functional design and controls specification, outlining how the system will operate and be controlled. This specification includes the design of control loops, selection of control equipment, and integration with existing systems, ensuring seamless and efficient operation. We can also design and supply the required control panel(s), including PLC design where required for more complex systems.
Dedicated Customer Service from Initial Concept Through to System Commissioning
One of the standout features of our service is the commitment to customer support throughout the entire project lifecycle. From the initial concept to system commissioning, our team of experts is on hand to provide guidance, address concerns, and ensure that your system meets all expectations. This dedication to customer service ensures a smooth, hassle-free experience.

Process managers could be making improvements to increase efficiency and product quality by paying closer attention to the specification of controls systems used within their facilities – that’s the current message from Spirax Sarco’s National Controls Specialist, Darren Silverthorn.
Process, energy, and maintenance managers looking to maximise safety, efficiency, and productivity, are being urged to take a proactive approach to plant management by including wireless steam trap monitoring within their proactive maintenance regime.
Believe it or not, you can make this a reality through your choice of control valve. You will already know that accurate temperature and pressure control maintains process efficiency, which makes control valves an invaluable part of any steam system. So what should you be looking for when sourcing an efficient control valve?
Implementing an effective steam trap management plan, doesn’t need to be complicated. Lowering Carbon output, increased production and energy savings are all benefits you could achieve from regular management.
