Our mechanics and electricians overhaul pumps, compressors, condensers, heat exchangers, valves, AC and refrigeration units, electric motors, generators, and controllers. Our tradesmen are capable of reading and interpreting written specifications, blueprints, and working drawings. All weld/structural shop personnel are experienced in the handling, layout, fabrication, repair, and installation of aluminum, steel, and stainless-steel structures, and components.
Our shipfitters are capable of lifting dimensions and shapes from existing conditions on board any vessel for the fabrication of replacement structures, hulls, bulkheads, ventilation runs, and equipment foundations.
