| Our manipulation and fabrication
department is accommodated in a modern building of some 40,000
square feet. Adequate working and storage space, coupled with
two overhead cranes, combine in helping us to offer an efficient
and speedy service to customers. |
 |
| Carbon & alloy steel, straight lengths or manipulated to drawings. We undertake a wide
range of work, both in complexity and size, spanning complete
re-tube sets for large industrial and marine boilers to one-off
tubes of small diameter. Owing to the nature of the boiler repair
industry spares are frequently required at very short notice
and we endeavour, work load permitting, to offer immediate capacity. |

|
 |
| Our bending
machines can handle tubes up to 4.5" (114.3mm) outside
diameter. On sizes up to 2" (51mm) diameter we can bend
suitable tubes to a ratio of outside diameter/bending radius
of less than 1:1. Wall thinning on all bends can be controlled
within the close limits demanded by bodies such as the CEGB.
Our bending capability is backed up by facilities for welding
by the TIG, MIG, Manual-Arc and Oxy-Acetylene processes. |

|
 |
| Superheater Elements, Coils and
other types of tubular fabrications can be produced to most
standards in carbon, low alloy and austenitic stainless steel,
as well as a variety of more exotic alloys. Also included in
our welding capacity is an Automatic MIG welding machine for
the attachment of longitudinal fins to membrane wall tubes.
This equipment can handle tubes up to 4" (101.6mm) (outside
diameter) with fin widths of up to 2" (51mm). |
 |
| To complement the
above facilities is an in-house capacity for Turning (8'6"
-2.6m- maximum diameter) Milling, Drilling and Profile Cutting,
enabling us to offer a wide variety of machine components such
as Header Tubes, Supports and Flanges. |
| These facilities are also used
in our works, allowing us to offer fast and reliable lead-in
times for jobs requiring non-standard tooling. |
