Grainger and Worrall Limited

Bay 1-6,Building 7 Stanmore Industrial Estate Bridgnorth

WV15 5HP

Grainger and Worrall Limited

wins an Innovation Award for introducing processes for the design, manufacture and verification of engine part castings for motorsport. The processes include the application of computerised tomography, computer-aided designand virtual simulation to understand facets of casting, such as materials flow, cooling rates and alloy compositions. They utilise CTscanning, to measure within small tolerances and to identify defects, and in-house tooling, made from bespoke, synthetic materials.

The result has been the consistent development of high-quality castings and, consequently, the manufacture of light, strong andpowerful engines that rarely fail. The innovations have contributed much to ensuring that most Formula-One engine suppliersmanufacture their enginesin the UK.

Rapiscan Systems Ltd

Prospect Way Victoria Business ParkStoke on Trent

ST8 7PLan Innovation Award is made to Rapiscan Systems Ltd

for developing the Eagle Radiation Detector. The device detects gamma andneutron radiation emitted from containerised or vehicle-borne cargo. It distinguishes between special materials usedin nuclearweapons, medical radiation sources and naturally occurring radio-active materials. It senses such radiation and automatically generates alarms when materials of particular intensity or significance are detected. The new device, which eliminates thedependence on the increasingly scarce element, helium He-3, of previous detectors, enables combining gamma-neutron radiation

detection with X-ray imaging, thus providing simultaneous, comprehensive surveillance. The compactness of the device facilitatescovert surveillance and detection of illicit radio-active materials without those carrying such materials knowing that they are beingmonitored. The innovation has contributed to the business success of the company.
