STEVE VICK INTERNATIONAL

Steve Vick International (SVI), established in 1981, has been a leading player in the UK utilities distribution networks for over 43 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 expanding foam sealants and patented techniques for live gas mains insertion, flowstopping, and sealing. Additionally, Steve Vick International is the UK's leading manufacturer of pipe coil trailers and offers a wide range of pipe handling equipment for hire or purchase including Pipe Handlers, Pipe Crackers, and Pipe Cutters.  

At Utility Week Live 2026, SVI will be showcasing their latest solutions for the safe pipe management of 180 coils including CoilContol which is a newly developed installation device approved and in use by Cadent, designed to make coiled pipe handling safer and more efficient. CoilControl is compatible with any pipe coil trailer and is quick and easy to set up in under 5 minutes. Coil Control handles PE pipe diameters between 125 – 180mm. SVI will also be introducing their guillotine PE cutting attachment for safely cutting part coils. Working with 180 pipe coils presents real safety challenges due to stored kinetic energy. These tools are designed to reduce that risk and support safer working practices on site. 

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.
