About us
Our main fabrication workshop facility provides us with 9,000 ft² of internal manufacturing area and 17,000 ft² of secure external storage area. In order to support our production capabilities, we have our own in-house machine workshop, which allows us to quickly fabricate, modify and/or repair items of plant and equipment.
Our hire fleet of packaged wastewater treatment plant - HSAF® (Submerged Aerated Filter) is also based at our workshop facility, so we are able to mobilise effectively at short notice. The HSAF is a small footprint, biological packaged wastewater treatment system that is flexible, robust in performance and provides years of low maintenance operation. It can be used in a number of applications such as a solids filter, carbonaceous treatment, nitrification and de-nitrification treatment.
Our design and engineering teams are located just around the corner in a modern 6,000 ft² office, which provides a central location for project management, mechanical, electrical, process, and drawing [2D and 3D] services. In addition, we operate a fleet of fully equipped vehicles with teams of experienced site engineers able to carry out on-site repairs and refurbishment, fabrication and new installation of plant and equipment.
FLI Group
The FLI Group origins date back to 1989 when the business was founded by its current Executive Chairman and majority shareholder, Michael Flynn. FLI Global Limited sits at the top of the Group structure as the parent company.
Subsidiary companies Vertase FLI Limited, FLI Water Limited, FLI QDS Limited, FLI Precast Solutions, and FLI France SAS are active in contaminated land remediation, water and wastewater, off site concrete manufacturing and design, and geosynthetics solutions respectively.
The Group’s origins originate from the geosynthetics industry, providing engineered landfill lining and mining containment solutions in Ireland, UK, throughout Europe and globally on a project by project basis. With this business activity and with continuous reinvestment of profits FLI grew and was able to make the investments that have transformed the company to where it is today.
The FLI Group is now a diversified solutions provider in the broad based environmental services sector and has grown both organically and by acquisition, and is now comprised of several strategic platforms for growth, both geographically and by sector. Our services to our clients are based on a combination of knowledge, know how, technology and experience, gained over many years and many thousands of projects and delivered by our excellent management and staff.
In 2018 the FLI Group has entered the China environmental services market and has identified Chinese strategic partners and a China based JV company which will be engaged in contaminated land remediation in the largest environmental services market globally.
