We work with our customers closely to understand requirements, including technical specifications, budget, and timeline. Every project is assigned an engineer to assist with the project from start to finish. Our team helps refine the work scope, explore the most viable solutions either for repair or new manufacture, conduct inspections and analysis, and document as-is conditions and final dimensions. Prior to shipping, quality control inspections and ship-prep including painting, tagging, and crating are provided.
