The Smarter Pipework System for Compressed Air

When it comes to compressed air installations, pipework isn’t just a means to an end, it’s a critical component that affects your system’s efficiency, air quality, and long-term operating costs.

At Technical Air Systems, we’ve seen the industry evolve—and we believe Atlas Copco’s AIRnet pipework is the future. Whether you’re expanding a facility or starting from scratch, here’s why AIRnet aluminium and stainless steel systems outperform traditional carbon or galvanised steel.


✅ 1. No Rust, No Contamination

Unlike carbon steel or galvanised pipework, AIRnet aluminium and stainless systems are 100% corrosion-free. That means:

  • No rust particles entering your process or tools

  • Cleaner, food-grade quality air

  • Lower risk of filter blockages and system failures


⚡ 2. Energy Efficiency by Design

AIRnet systems feature smooth internal surfaces and seamless joints—delivering lower pressure drops compared to rougher steel pipework. This results in:

  • Reduced compressor energy demand

  • Consistent flow to the point of use

  • Lower electricity bills over the life of the system


🛠️ 3. Faster Installation = Less Downtime

AIRnet pipework is designed for speed. With modular push-to-fit or press-fit designs:

  • Install time is reduced by up to 70%

  • Zero hot works required

  • Easy to modify or expand in future

In most cases, we complete installations without disrupting your production.


💸 4. Lifetime Cost Savings

Yes, AIRnet costs more upfront than carbon steel. But factor in:

  • Reduced installation time

  • Lower maintenance costs

  • Better efficiency

  • Longer service life

…and the lifetime cost is significantly lower. Many of our customers see full payback within just a few years.


🧰 5. Built for Every Environment

  • Aluminium AIRnet is ideal for most indoor applications—lightweight, durable, and easy to handle.

  • Stainless Steel AIRnet is perfect for aggressive environments like food, beverage, chemical, or high-temperature areas.


TAS supplies and installs both ranges, depending on your exact need.


Choose Future-Proof Pipework

At TAS, we’ve installed AIRnet systems across the North East for manufacturers, processors, and engineering firms—often replacing outdated steel lines that have caused years of headaches.


Our team are trained AIRnet specialists, and we handle everything from design to commissioning.
