Slotted Liner Pipe Project – Fast-track precision when pace mattered most

Project Overview

When a client needed 80 joints of slotted liner pipe in just four weeks, Probe delivered. Using specialist slotting capability, rapid mobilisation and high-volume production, we engineered a bespoke solution that kept a critical well-filling programme on track.

• 3,200 ft of pipe processed
• 56,000 precision-drilled holes completed
• Every hole deburred and finished to specification
• Delivered on schedule within a demanding four-week window

The Challenge

• A specialist slotting tool had to be sourced specifically for the application.
• Equipment was dismantled and reassembled on-site to handle the pipe dimensions.
• Manual deburring began as a labour-intensive process before Probe introduced a semi-automated approach to boost productivity.
• A 24/7 shift pattern in week one maximised output and protected the delivery schedule.

Result

Probe delivered a fast-track, cost-effective slotting solution at scale — where capacity, speed and engineering know-how were critical.

• Kept the client’s programme on schedule
• Delivered the required performance without over-engineering the solution
• Enabled continuous 24-hour pipe running for the client
• Demonstrated Probe’s ability to solve complex production challenges quickly
