COS’s technical team are continually engaged in the research, design, testing and manufacture of a variety of specialist products for customer specific applications, applying many different materials and manufacturing techniques. We continue to introduce innovative products to the market while expanding our portfolio.

Our commitment to supporting and investing in cutting edge technologies has reduced our life cycle design process. Our engineering design team utilize the very latest computer-aided design (CAD) software to produce technical 3D dimensional modelling, coupled with animation and simulation abilities, this enables us to conceptually prove new products prior to manufacture. We also have in-house 3D printing capability to aid physical product representation and prove new concept designs.

Significant investment has been focused on ensuring COS has an infrastructure to support the development of industry leading products including:

• API 10D testing Facility for start, running and restoring force
• Additional compression/load testing machines to exceed API 10D
• Lateral / end load testing on solid body centralizers and casing shoe products
• Float equipment pressure testing in accordance with API RP 10F IIIC
• Cement batch sampling and testing in accordance with BS EN 12390
• Stop collar testing facilities meeting API 10D II requirements
