From routine inspection and repair to refurbishment, load testing and recertification, our team provides the technical continuity needed to keep specialist cases and containers fit for purpose.

Why choose Barum & Dewar?

Barum & Dewar works with an extensive range of established protective packaging options, allowing us to focus on finding the right solution for your application rather than promoting a single product or material.

Inspection and condition assessment
We assess the condition of the structure, internal supports, shock mounts, foam, seals, catches, brackets, wheels, lifting features and other components to understand the effect of operational use. The inspection identifies damage, wear and potential safety issues, allowing us to recommend the work required before the container returns to service.
In-use repairs and refurbishment
Our team carries out the agreed repairs and replaces worn or damaged components using the original design information where available. This may include structural repairs, replacement fittings, renewed seals, foam or internal supports, shock mount inspection and replacement, coating repairs and updates to handling features. The aim is to restore the container’s protection and functionality while minimising unnecessary replacement and operational disruption.
Recertification and documented assurance
Detailed reports can also record the initial inspection, work completed, components replaced and the results of testing. This gives clients greater assurance that packaging and handling assets remain safe, serviceable and suitable for continued operational use.
Safe working load testing
Before testing begins, the item is visually inspected to ensure it is in a suitable condition. Deflection measurements can be recorded with and without the applied load, while the structure and relevant features are monitored throughout the test. The findings are documented to provide a clear record of the item’s condition and performance.
Modifications and upgrades
Existing cases and containers can be reviewed to identify practical upgrades, such as revised internal fitments, improved handling features, replacement foam, updated shock protection or changes to access and retention systems.
Continuous support

Technical continuity

Our maintained drawing records provide an important reference for future repairs, replacement parts and modifications. This continuity allows our team to understand the original design intent and make informed recommendations throughout the life of the asset.
