Birdies for Boys and Girls Charity Golf Tournament

/in /by

This past weekend we were fortunate enough to participate in the 2020 Birdies for Boys and Girls Golf Tournament hosted by Northern Star Generation.  It was an excellent opportunity for us to give back to the local community as the proceeds from the tournament go to the Boys and Girls Club of Central Florida.  We had an excellent time at the event, and look forward to participating again next year.

October 2020 Safety Update

We completed the month of October continuing on our pace of a 0.00 TRIR for the year. We have zero OSHA-recordable injuries this year and continue to be proactive in identifying potential hazards. Great job by our HSE Director, Shannon Scruggs, and each one of our Project Management teams for engraining our safety culture throughout the teams working at site. Nice job everybody!

Election Day

/in /by

I hope everyone was able to get out and vote today.  A little election day history for your reading enjoyment:

Why a Tuesday in November? The answer stems from the agrarian makeup of 19th-century America. In the 1800s, most citizens worked as farmers and lived far from their polling place. Since people often traveled at least a day to vote, lawmakers needed to allow a two-day window for Election Day. Weekends were impractical, since most people spent Sundays in church, and Wednesday was market day for farmers.

With this in mind, Tuesday was selected as the first and most convenient day of the week to hold elections. Farm culture also explains why Election Day always falls in November. Spring and early summer elections were thought to interfere with the planting season, and late summer and early fall elections overlapped with the harvest. That left the late fall month of November—after the harvest was complete, but before the arrival of harsh winter weather—as the best choice.

Boring – Small to Large Diameter

/in , /by

We perform on-site line boring services and coupling line boring for virtually any boring requirement.

This includes: cylinders, pumps, pump casings, turbine casings, pressure vessels, cylinder casings, compressors, compressor casings, gear boxes, and construction equipment, just to name a few examples.

Why should we be your first choice for on-site boring?

Reduced Cost and Downtime

Performed on-site, we have eliminated the issues related to removing and shipping your equipment to a shop: costly mobilizations, exorbitant shipping costs, potential damage during shipment, valuable lay down space, and plant crane and rigging requirements.

Convenience

All work is performed at the customer’s facility, regardless of size, position, damage, material, etc. Once on-site, unloading and loading of our boring equipment is quick and is typically accomplished with a small fork lift or crane.

Flexibility

Our boring equipment can accommodate diameters from 1.5 inch to 12 feet, at depths up to 26 feet, and in almost any location and environment.r

Shaft Welding & Machining

/in , , /by

We were recently contracted by a major utility in the Midwest U.S. to repair a damaged shaft at one of their power generating facilities.  The remediation process included machining the existing shaft to remove the damaged area and hard spots, weld build up of the shaft, and final machining to achieve desired diameters and tolerances.  This repair was performed by our trained technicians, utilizing specialty equipment designed for this application.  The end result was a repaired shaft, and a happy customer.

If you have any shafts in need of repair at your facility please contact us to discuss.  To learn more about our shaft repair services please CLICK HERE for the latest brochure.
