Quirepace have an in-house drawing team based at Gosport using up to date Autocad and other modelling software packages

The specification of Pneumatic Tube Systems requires practical and theoretical experience. Systems have become highly sophisticated and seeking the least expensive solution is rarely the answer. Indeed, a system procured solely on a cost basis may be totally unsuitable for the application and provide little operational benefit at all. A pneumatic tube installation is an integrated network of individual transport systems, thus the overall design must take into account various parameters such as hourly and daily traffic, size of payloads, routes to be served and their priorities etc.

At Quirepace we work closely with our clients to help them formulate the most effective requirement. We can then obtain a clear understanding of what the pneumatic tube system is required to do. The objective is to meet a client specification thus ensuring that the greatest benefit and efficiency is achieved in the most cost effective manner.

Careful consideration is given to system layout, usage, number of stations, tube diameter, and carrier size. Our engineers examine the proposed tube route either on the construction drawings or physically through service ducts, risers and ceiling voids and consider structural obstructions and fire compartmentation of buildings through which the tube system will pass. Only once all parameters have been carefully considered will the system design be finalised
