Orders/Deliveries

Earthmet invests in the most up-to-date logistics technology and efficiency procedures to ensure that we offer an outstanding delivery service.warehouse-picking

We own a now 6-strong fleet that allows us to manage our own transport service and enables us to offer same day deliveries for urgent requirements. This ensures we give our customers the best support that we can. The couriers have live tracking technology which means that we can tell you where your delivery is in real time.

On top of all this, we also offer order confirmations which are automatically sent to you via email when your order has been placed or processed. Please do ensure we have your correct email details so you don’t miss out on this added benefit.

When placing an order please ensure you highlight any special requirements and we’ll make a note. We’ll contact you on a regular basis determined by your order patterns, but please feel free to contact us at any time. To place an order via email send it to sales@earthmet.co.uk where it will be immediately processed. Orders placed in writing can help eliminate any errors, so please do consider emailing us where possible.

Demonstrations

Earthmet offer demonstrations to all of our customers to make you aware of new products being launched onto the markets. We understand that people sometimes like to “try before they buy” and this is why we are so confident that when we do a demonstration to you, that we will generate interest.

Our most successful demonstration currently is for our new nVent Erico Cadweld Exothermic Welding System, which is the newest welding product in today’s market providing safer use and better finishes. For further details on our nVent Erico Cadweld system please click the link below:

Cadweld Exothermic Welding.

As parts of Earthmet’s efforts in wanting to work with their customers, we currently offer the demonstrations free of charge as long as there is an audience of 4+ people. During each demonstration, each engineer/ manager will be encouraged to participate in the product being used. Upon successful completion, you will be provided with a certificate to keep which states you have been trained and have demonstrated how to use the materials correctly and safely.

Soil Resistivity Surveys

BS 7430:2011 states that ‘on-site resistivity testing should always be carried out prior to carrying out an earth system design and installation’. The soil resistivity survey is the first step in ensuring the correct design of an earth electrode system. It is essential that accurate measurements are taken at this stage as this data is used to determine what conductors are required in the finished earthing system to give a safe and suitable design. Corrupt data taken with inadequate test equipment could lead to a vastly over or under engineered solution. Earthmet use high specification test equipment to carry out soil resistivity testing, gaining data from tried and tested methods. This raw data is then analysed using CDEGS software to produce a representative electrical equivalent soil model which can then be used in the earthing design process.

Earth Electrode System Design

There are many factors that go into producing a compliant earth electrode system design: fault current levels, fault duration, ground make up, interconnected sites are but a few. All of the parameters are analysed using the CDEGS software to ensure touch, step and rise of earth potentials are within safe levels. Our team of competent engineers consider all of the above and more to ensure the final design is not only safe and suitable for its purpose, but also to ensure the system can be installed using the most economic process giving you the most cost effective solution.

Overall System Testing

BS 7430:2011 states that ‘all work should be carried out under the control and direction of a competent person.’ Earthmet are able to offer test and inspection services for both new and existing installations. All works are carried out in accordance with BS 7430:2100 by our trained and competent engineers and technicians. The period between periodic inspection and tests can only be determined by the environment that the system is installed in, for example the harsher the environment the more regular the inspection.
