A specialist supplier and maintainer of medical gas pipeline systems operating primarily in London and the Home Counties, SHJ Hospital Pipelines was founded in 1967 by ex-BOC personnel, and remains a family-owned business ‘at the forefront of medical gas technology’.
The company has developed what it claims is a ‘unique’ range of devices for remote alarm and condition monitoring, and medical gas plant control, and is also ‘pro-actively partnering with leading equipment manufacturers to harness the energy-saving characteristics of variable speed technology’.
SHJ’s 21-strong workforce includes a team of qualified service engineers who provide an on-call service 24 hours per day, every day of the year. The company adds: “We do not employ outsourced service engineers. Many of SHJ’s existing employees have been with the company for over 10 years, and their knowledge of, qualifications in, and experience of, medical gas pipeline systems is thus extensive, while we also pride ourselves on the high calibre of our customer care. All our technicians are independently assessed as ‘Competent Persons’ in accordance with the requirements of HTM 02-01: Medical Gas Pipeline Systems and a number are also qualified as AP (MGPS).”
SHJ holds BSI Certificate No: FM10617, and operates a quality management system which complies with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008 for Design, Supply, Installation, Maintenance, Associated Electrical Wiring, and As Installed Drawings for Medical Gas Pipelines.
The company says: “We offer first-class workmanship, and the relationship we have enjoyed with many of our customers for over four decades is a testament to the efforts we make to ensure continued customer satisfaction.”
SHJ Pipelines works with ‘a small number of select suppliers of equipment and materials’, which it says enables it to maintain its competitiveness, be responsive to changing demands, and offer a ‘no-quibble’, manufacturer-backed warranty.
“At the core of SHJ’s business philosophy is the determination to establish and maintain long-term customer relationships, facilitating a better understanding of our clients’ underlying requirements, and allowing a more complete engagement in the planning and delivery of new initiatives.”
