Services
CNC Milling
Our CNC milling capabilities handle components from small parts to large fabrications weighing up to 2 tonnes. Using advanced machinery, we achieve tight tolerances for complex geometries required in oil & gas and industrial applications. Clients benefit from reduced lead times and integrated quality control processes.
Torque & Test Service
We provide comprehensive torque application and pressure testing up to 26,500psi. Our facility includes specialized equipment for rotational torque up to 250,000ft/lbs and push-pull testing. This ensures field equipment meets operational requirements before deployment in challenging environments.
Reverse Re-engineering
When original drawings are unavailable, our technicians recreate parts using samples, sketches, and specifications. This service extends equipment life for aging North Sea infrastructure while maintaining compliance with current engineering standards and safety requirements.
