Plant Tour

Six stations. One source. No gaps in the chain.

Walk the floor. Every station below represents a controlled process your incumbent vendor likely outsources.

Raw Material Receiving

Every casting enters with a pedigree.

Incoming bar stock, forgings, and castings are verified against mill certificates before they touch the floor. Material traceability is maintained lot-by-lot — heat number, chemical analysis, mechanical properties — from the receiving dock to the finished part.

CNC Machining

5-axis. In-house. No subcontracting.

Eight machining centers including twin-pallet horizontal mills with 1,600 mm swing capacity. Complex turbine housings and manifold bores held to ±0.0001″ on contour. Fixturing designed and built internally — no scheduling gaps waiting on outside tooling.

Welding & Fabrication

Qualified procedures. Certified welders. Period.

All welding performed to ASME Section IX qualified procedures. TIG, MIG, and SAW processes for pressure-containing components. Every weld traveler ties back to the WPS, welder qualification record, and filler material heat number — auditable in 24 hours.

Non-Destructive Testing

In-house NDT. No waiting on a subcontractor.

Full NDT suite operated by ASNT Level II and Level III certified technicians. UT, RT, MT, PT, and PMI performed on-site — results issued same shift when schedule demands it. No third-party scheduling bottleneck on your critical-path weld.

Final Assembly & Inspection

Dimensional report. Hydrostatic test. Ship.

CMM inspection on every critical dimension before assembly. Hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure testing to 1.5× design pressure per ASME B31.3. Final dimensional report, material traceability package, and NDE records bundled before the part leaves the building.

Capability Comparison

Side by side. No ambiguity.

If your current vendor missed a tolerance on a critical-path component, this table explains why. Single-source capability removes the coordination gap where quality escapes happen.
