Services
Electric Motor Services
Our electric motor services focus on precision repair, maintenance, and life extension of industrial motors. With specialized rewind techniques and advanced diagnostics, we restore motors to optimal condition, minimizing downtime. Our on-site capabilities and in-house machine shop handle all motor types from small units to complex traction motors, ensuring operational continuity for critical infrastructure.
Generator Services
We provide comprehensive generator maintenance, repair, and testing solutions for all industrial applications. Our expertise covers induction generators, synchronous generators, and wind turbine systems up to 50MW capacity. With rapid deployment teams and advanced diagnostic tools, we ensure uninterrupted power supply through both preventive and corrective maintenance strategies across oil & gas, manufacturing, and power generation sectors.
Pump Services
Our pump services include complex repairs, modernization, and preventive maintenance for industrial pumping systems. Combining 3D scanning technology with mechanical expertise, we address root cause failures and extend pump lifespan. The team manages complete pump motor system overhauls, offering both on-site and workshop solutions to maintain operational efficiency in water treatment, mining, and energy production facilities.
High Voltage Coils
We manufacture high voltage coils up to 15kV with proprietary insulation systems for power generation and industrial applications. Our in-house production includes HiFLEX, HiVAX, and HiBRID technologies that enhance environmental resistance and thermal performance. Each coil undergoes rigorous testing, including partial discharge analysis and voltage endurance tests, ensuring reliability in critical hydropower, wind energy, and oil & gas sector equipment.
24-Hour Emergency Repair
Our 24/7 emergency repair service maintains rapid response capabilities for critical electro-mechanical failures across UK and international locations. With rotating shift coverage and immediate mobilization protocols, we provide live progress updates through video reporting. Our engineers handle urgent motor, generator, and pump repairs, supported by global logistics partners to maintain minimal downtime for energy infrastructure and manufacturing clients.
