It's rare that we get to snap pictures on site, as our engineers are usually pretty busy getting on with the job.

Onsite machining often means working around large machinery, in confined spaces and sometimes in some pretty unusual positions.

It's safe to say, judging by the smile, this project is going pretty well. 👍

When is crankshaft annealing actually needed? 👀

It’s not something you do to every crankshaft. Annealing becomes necessary when inspection identifies issues such as excessive crankpin hardness, runout outside OEM tolerances, or thermal stress following a failure.

Put simply, if a crankpin is too hard to machine accurately, reducing the hardness can be an important step before final machining.

Our crankshaft annealing process can reduce crankpin hardness by up to 300 HB, helping prepare the surface for accurate machining and supporting restoration back to OEM standards.

Last month, we were onsite with Kongsberg Marine and Shipping carrying out a line boring repair on a marine engine component.

The existing bores were damaged and affecting alignment, so the aim was to restore them to OEM specification while keeping downtime to a minimum.

Our engineers machined the damaged bores onsite, installed precision-engineered replacement sleeves and completed the final line boring to bring everything back within the required OEM limits.

The repair was completed within 3 days, with alignment and final sizing verified before the component was returned to operation. 🙌

A great bit of feedback following an emergency line boring job.

Our team was called in at short notice, and we're pleased we could respond quickly and deliver the work needed. 🙌

When a critical piece of equipment goes down, the question isn't just what's wrong?

It's also how quickly can someone get there?

We provide a 24/7 emergency response service, mobilising engineers to sites across the UK and internationally.

How quickly we can respond depends on the location, the equipment involved and the work required. But being able to respond to urgent machining requirements is a 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 part of what we do. 🤝

For this offshore power generation project in Senegal, we used 𝙤𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙢𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 to restore a rotor thrust face that had developed scored and hardened surfaces.

The hardened layer was removed and the thrust face machined in-situ to OEM-specified tolerances, under OEM supervision.

The work was completed within hours, with dimensional checks and non-destructive testing carried out afterwards to verify the finished surface. ✅

We often find ourselves working in some interesting positions... 👀

When you're carrying out onsite machining, getting access to the component is often half the challenge.

Whether it's inside a machine, beneath equipment or in a confined space, our engineers go where the repair is needed!

When you need onsite machining, you don't need to know all the technical terminology.

The most important thing is being able to answer a few key questions:

✔ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼?
✔ 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱, 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲?
✔ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲?
✔ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲?
✔ 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀?

With that information, one of our specialists can quickly advise whether in-situ work is appropriate, whether the component needs to be removed and what the fastest path to restoring function is.

Often, that initial conversation is all that's needed to determine the best course of action. 🙌

This project is a great example of how precision engineering and rapid response can help keep vessels operating to schedule.

For marine operators, removing a crankshaft for workshop repair isn't always practical. That's why in-situ machining can make such a difference. 🙌
