Our Projects

  • Spray Welding

    Cast iron belt drive for a centrifugal purifier. The bearing surface was worn causing excess vibration. The hub was repaired with spray welding and machined back to spec.

  • Stainless Steel Fabrication

    Steel flanges used in salt water environment were corroded and in need of replacement. New flanges and fittings were fabricated out of 316 stainless steel to prevent future failures.

  • Hardfacing

    A bearing in a belt driven fan unit failed, damaging the shaft. The bearing surface was hardfaced and machined back to spec for re installation. The hardfaced surface will be much more resistant to wear and failure.

  • Copper Nickel Fabrication

    A new section of copper nickel piping needed to be fabricated in place to accommodate a retrofit strainer.

  • Equipment Modification

    Plastic flame sensor clips repeatedly failed due to the high temperature environment they were exposed to. New brackets were fabricated to withstand the harsh environment and prevent future failures.

  • Custom Retrofitting

    An existing davit was in need of replacement. The old unit was removed and a new base was fabricated and installed for the bigger more robust equipment.

  • Cast Iron Repair and Modification

    Cast iron valve body that needed modification. A steel reducer and flange were fit and welded to the cast iron body.

  • Lathe Work

    Stainless steel pins, with custom grease channels, were fabricated to prevent seizure of critical parts in a salt water environment.
