Gilbert Gilkes & Gordon Ltd applications

The largest part of our work involves supplying single and dual circuit pumps for diesel and gas power generation engines. Traditionally, separate jacket water and LTA or SCAC circuits were standard on many engines. Gilkes redefined this approach by combining both circuits into a single pump. This change simplified pipework, reduced weight and cost, and freed up engine drive connections, making our equipment a practical choice for new engine designs.

Our experience across demanding engine environments led to success in the rail sector. Entry into this market in 2004 was enabled by advances in seal technology and the ability to align with the rail industry’s processes and standards. Operating conditions involving extreme temperatures and constant vibration challenged our design approach and sharpened our focus on selecting the right materials for long-term performance.
