Brief History
PLCS Ltd., was founded in 1968 when British Gas, the largest gas company in the world, was in the process of converting to natural gas
and starting to experience major leakage problems from their cast iron pipes.
PLCS developed a system of encapsulating each pipe joint with a special polyurethane sealant that cured to a flexible synthetic rubber.
PLCS Encapsulation has become the number one repair system used by over a hundred gas companies worldwide.
In 1985 the US subsidiary of PLCS became independent under the ownership of Howard Hardwick. The company now supplies a wide range
of gas distribution maintenance products to all major gas utilities and their contractors in North and South America.
In 1998 PLCS bought ALH Systems Inc. and gained access to their innovative drilling, tapping, and line stopping equipment, Mainspray
anaerobic internal sealing and a whole range of products for PE pipe including coiled pipe trailers and Steve Vick International products.
In 1999, PLCS was appointed the sole distributor for the range for anaerobic sealants made by Chemence, Inc. These sealants
complement our encapsulation products and have made PLCS the clear leader in natural gas distribution leak technology.
In 2006 we started Plc Underground at www.plcunderground.com to sell trenchless technology and directional drilling parts and
accessories like plow blades, pipe pullers, drill rods and compaction bits to irrigation, telecom and utility
contractors via an online shopping cart website
The PLCS Approach
We refuse to use an automated phone system or voicemail to drive you insane and cost you time (money). You deserve to quickly reach a
human voice that can deal with your query or pass you on to someone who can.
Quality products that work to solve your problems from people who understand the gas industry, plus a large inventory for immediate
shipment and next day delivery means you can rely on us to provide what you need, when you need it. This performance keeps us
efficient and allows us to pass on the saving to our loyal customers. Their loyalty has been the basis for our 25+ years of success.
