Flexibility and tailored products are the hallmark of our TBV solutions. This allows you to freely choose the size that best suits your design rather than having to be tied to a particular number of standard solutions. In planning your system you will be able to select almost any layout, colour, offsets, elbows, sockets and materials. We will help you to assess whether your system should be based around a passive ( low impulse ), semi-active ( hybrid ) or active ( high impulse ) model.
