Designing Customised Solutions
Sarco has provided bespoke inflatable stopper bags to meet the special requirements of a wide range of applications, producing inflatable bags in many different shapes and sizes to use the flexibility of putting bags through very small points of access and remotely deploying and inflating long distances and passing through pipe bends.
These specially designed bespoke stopper bags are commonly inflated by air, inert gas or other more specialist fluids. A stopper bag approach can deliver major savings over conventional alternatives. Sarco is delighted to work with customers to design, test and deliver novel solutions. The following are some examples of past projects:
