Pollard Pumps
Design Office
Within Pollard the design office is in charge of delivery of technical assistance missions. In this area, its actions range from orchestration of the development phases to product qualification tests, and including costing of complex technical proposals, technology monitoring and technological research, and also the installation of industrialisation procedures.
Pollard's design office has succeeded in developing its expertise over the years around a team of seasoned professionals, all engineers or design technicians, and all of whom are capable of leading technical projects to successful outcomes.
To simplify and accelerate the design process, and improve its resilience, Pollard clients have a single key contact for technical matters, who can answer all their questions, and deal personally with each aspect of their project. Currently, recent successes in the most advanced fields, such as nuclear, defence and rail, and for more common industrial applications such as lubrication and transfer, show the effectiveness of this approach. It is however supervised, like all the company's activities, by strict quality management processes.
The Pollard design office can now use modern resources which are perfectly adapted to its core activity, relating equally to rapid prototyping and series industrialisation over several decades.
