Marine Casting Repairs and Reconditioning

We have established an excellent reputation in the Shipping Industry for Cast Iron Welding Repairs and On Site Metal Stitching Repairs of Diesel Marine Engines and their components.

Our specifically developed unique welding procedure is proven to breathe new life into many marine items from Cylinder Heads, Turbocharger Casings, Pistons, Liners and Exhaust Housings to name a few. These items without our expertise would otherwise be scrap items, and the customer would have no alternative than to replace with new and expensive parts.

All components are repaired by using our welding technique approved by LLOYDS REGISTER EMEA and we are proud to offer classification certificates from all the major classification societies including Lloyds Register EMEA, Bureau Veritas, Det Norske Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd and American Bureau of Shipping, covering metallurgical analysis and pressure tests as and when required.
