It Started With a Problem No One Had Properly Solved

The Origin of RAMCO® Safety Shields

In 1958, a New Jersey chemical manufacturer approached RAMCO® to develop a standardised safety shield that could be manufactured and deployed at scale. RAMCO® responded by engineering one of the first commercially manufactured pipe safety shields designed specifically for industrial piping systems.

Just a few years later, following severe pressure leakage incidents aboard the U.S.S. Constellation in 1961, RAMCO® Metal Safety Shields were tested and specified for naval applications - helping establish engineered shielding systems as part of broader industrial piping safety practices.

Today, over 60 years later, RAMCO® safety shields and leak detection paint support industrial operations worldwide across chemical processing, marine, petrochemical, oil & gas, and heavy industrial environments.

ISO-Certified Quality & Proven Manufacturing Standards

Quality and reliability are non-negotiable in industrial safety.

RAMCO® operates under ISO 9001 certified manufacturing standards, ensuring every safety shield meets strict performance and durability requirements. Our products are built to withstand harsh operating conditions including:

• High-pressure systems
• Corrosive chemical environments
• Extreme temperature applications
• Marine and offshore installations

Each solution is tested and engineered for consistent, long-term performance.

Custom Engineered Safety Shields

Not all pipe systems are the same.

RAMCO® specialises in bespoke flange, valve, and fitting shield solutions, designed for unique specifications and operational requirements. Our engineering team works closely with plant managers, maintenance engineers, and procurement teams to deliver:

• Precision-fit safety shields
• Material selection guidance (PVC, PE, metal)
• High-temperature and high-pressure configurations
• Leak detection integration systems

This consultative approach ensures optimal safety and performance.

Industries We Protect

RAMCO® safety shields are trusted across multiple high-risk industries:
