Our most valuable service may be our ability to combine knowledge with our fabrication shop, to create custom solutions for specific site challenges. Our expertise in equipment wear issues allows us to identify causes of premature equipment wear and failure, and then devise customized components or solutions to address the problem.

One example is our re-design of drill tips for a diamond mine. Created from a new alloy, these redesigned tips improved product life by an amazing 300 percent, allowing significantly longer operation of drills before replacement was required.
