Heat treatment

We regard heat treatment as an integral part of the fabrication process. To support this, we operate an in-house furnace with fully automatic controls, enabling stress relieving and normalising to be carried out in line with the required specification parameters.

Testing & inspection

As Fabricators we understand the importance of testing on completed fabrications, including Radiography, Ultrasonic, Dye Pen and Magnetic Particle Inspection. All our NDT is undertaken by sub contractors to ensure the testing carried out is completely impartial.

Inspection is carried out by our own Quality Engineers and also if requested we accommodate 3rd party inspectors to inspect our Fabrications at any stage and our completed Data folder dossiers.
