Three new staff, including father and son, join the contract service team.

Since the company’s foundation in 1981, Steve Vick International has provided a contract service to the Gas and Water Industries in the UK and abroad.

What was initially a team of 2 has today become a team of 9. The team is overseen by Operations Manager, Mike Hall and Operations Director, Sean Noonan. The newest members of the team are father and son Aiden and David Liddane alongside Darren Starling.

Based in the North East, Aiden and David will be supporting the increased demand for new technique; Enhanced S.E.A.L, a method that allows 100% of a Tier 1 gas main, including the last joint, to be sealed and abandoned. Aiden and David will mainly be working with Northern Gas networks, helping them meet the target of abandoning or replacing all cast iron and ductile Tier 1 pipes within 30m of a building by 2032.

Darren Starling will be based in the South West, working to deliver Sealback 1.5 projects locally and across the UK. Sealback is a method that allows live mains replacement to be carried out remotely, and is especially applicable in traffic sensitive locations.
