Steve Vick International, established in 1981, has been a leading player in the UK utilities distribution networks for over 40 years. Known for excellent customer service and innovation, the company has grown from its roots in the gas industry to now include water, nuclear and renewable energy sectors. As a family-oriented, award-winning SME, they remain committed to customer-focused solutions, which have driven their sustained growth and success.
The company specialises in trenchless technologies for the repair, renovation, and decommissioning of pipes, with a strong emphasis on gas distribution. However, many of their products are transferable to other industries, such as water and nuclear. Key innovations include the Steve Vick International SMARTester™ which was launched in 2017 and is a highly accurate wireless gas pressure tester that transmits data to a smartphone, tablet or laptop. Allowing evidence traceability, it offers a simple, accurate way to report live pressure tests back to a cloud database
Steve Vick developed the SMARTester™ in collaboration with Wales & West Utilities. The SMARTester™ offers a complete searchable database of pressure test evidence available at the click of a button – complete with pictures, time and date, GPS location and calibration certificate. The fully integrated system combines: SMARTester™ pressure sensor, an intuitive app and the Dashboard database of test evidence. Together the 3 components work to give you total confidence that your tests are highly accurate, fully compliant and that evidence is instantly traceable.
EDF, one of the largest suppliers of electricity and gas to domestic users and small businesses in the UK, led the way in smart meter safety back in 2020 by adopting SMARTester. The use of the devices, by EDF engineers, has been so successful that 1000 SMARTesters have now been made available to their contractors.
In 2024, we were delighted to onboard E.ON as they integrated SMARTester into their operations. E.ON prioritises safety and efficiency, and our SMARTester system is perfectly aligned with these values. Our partnership with E.ON continues to gather momentum, with Phase 2 and 3 being built and shipped at the start of 2025 as part of their rollout.
By maintaining a family-run ethos and continuously prioritising customer needs, Steve Vick International has established a reputation for innovation and reliability across multiple utility sectors.
