- In Port Harcourt, with its strong oilfield presence, the ability to rapidly fabricate or repair critical components is vital.
- Equipment Repair and Overhaul:
- This encompasses the repair and refurbishment of a wide range of oilfield equipment, including pumps, valves, compressors, and other mechanical systems.
- This service is crucial for extending the lifespan of valuable equipment and minimizing downtime.
- This could include the repair of Framo equipment, as was mentioned in the previous description
.
- Re-engineering, Machining and Precision Work:
- This involves the use of lathes, milling machines, and other precision equipment to create or repair intricate parts.
- This is essential for maintaining the tolerances and specifications required for critical oilfield components.
- Testing and Inspection:
- Workshop services often include non-destructive testing (NDT) capabilities, such as radiography, ultrasonic testing, and magnetic particle inspection.
- This ensures that fabricated and repaired components meet the required quality and safety standards.
