Energy Sector

Power Generation

We’ve undertaken mission-critical work to the highest levels of precision for the most critical components across major power generation categories.

We have solutions for equipment that operate at extreme high-pressure conditions  – from water and steam control valves, fuel oil systems and major fans. We have supported the repair and recovery of a rotor shaft for an Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor gas circulator at 6.5% (six and a half!) of the OEM replacement cost with a time saving of 18 months.

Clients that rely on our expertise in this sector include:

Oil & Gas

In this sector, rather than dealing with temperature or pressure extremes, we often have to deal with extremes of a chemical nature, like concentrated Nitric acid. Some assignments involve the challenging task of welding dissimilar exotic materials together.

Clients that rely on our expertise in this sector include:
BP, Esso, ExxonMobil

Other Key Sectors

Process Industries

This often involves working on chemical and rubber production machinery parts as well as food production machinery and pharmaceutical process equipment. These machines are often prone to both erosion and corrosion due to the granular type of materials used in production. ReManufacture+ is often carried out on these parts and for this reason some machines that are over 50 years old are still in service.

Clients that rely on our expertise in this sector include:
ExxonMobil, Pura Foods

Water Utilities

We frequently work on potable and wastewater pumps, macerators, valves, air compressors and fans. We also have experience in dealing with a wide range of equipment sizes from small to massive – some of them part assemblies – for example we repair pump shafts with the impeller still attached to it in order to save time, cost and risk of damage from difficult dismantling. Pump impeller details can be changed to adjust the duty point for greater efficiency.

Marine

We have worked with the marine industry since our inception, repairing such critical items as tailshaft liners, propeller shafts, pumps and valves and ReManufacture+ parts for marine diesel engines.

Tailshaft liners can be subject to our ReManufacture+ process to give a significantly improved wear life and not subject to crevice corrosion problems, and propeller shafts have been successfully ReManufactured and improved by our ReManufacture+ process for more than twenty years.

Some of our clients that have relied on our expertise in this sector:
RNLI, Wartsilla– Deep sea seals, City cruises– London, MOD– UK, US & Malta.

Heritage Railway

At SpiralWeld™ we see various steam locomotive parts and we are very happy to support the overhaul and refurbishment of such an historic part of engineering history and do what we can to help keep these machines running. This also aligns to the values we hold in supporting the circular economy, removing the need to replace original components by offering cost effective remanufacture solutions.

Clients that rely on our expertise in this sector include:

Swanage Railway, Didcot Railway, Dean Forest Railway
