Workshop Solutions
Design through installation - machining, casting and fabrication under one roof.
Some jobs cannot wait for an OEM lead time or a parts catalogue. Our in-house workshops cover precision machining, foundry and casting, bespoke manufacturing and finishing, so a worn or obsolete component can be measured, made and fitted from a single facility. Running around the clock with rigorous quality control, the workshop supports both shipboard repair teams and standalone manufacturing orders. From reverse-engineering a part off the worn original to producing a finished, inspected assembly ready for installation, we keep the whole chain in-house to compress lead times and hold quality.

A clear, four-step path
One accountable partner from first assessment to documented handover.
-
Measure & design
We capture dimensions from a drawing or the worn part and produce a manufacturing-ready design.
-
Manufacture
The part is machined, cast or fabricated in-house, with in-process checks against tolerance.
-
Inspect & finish
Finished components are dimensionally inspected, treated and documented before installation or dispatch.
-
Fit or dispatch
The completed unit is fitted with our shipboard team or dispatched to the vessel, released with its QA and dimensional inspection records.
