UK-based JNCS Business Services has developed a safety device for pipeline bolting. The small, magnetic TorqTag device temporarily attaches to each bolt on a pipe, improving processes around the closure of flange pieces that join sections of pipeline together, thus helping technicians in the oil, gas and power industries keep track of bolting sequences. JNCS has partnered with Northumberland-based Algernon Precision Engineering to manufacture TorqTag, orders for which have been received from around the world. JNCS recently received £13,000 ($10,000) from the EU-backed North East Small Loan Fund to improve the manufacturing process.
