Field Machining

System modifications without system shutdowns—that's field machining done right.

When your piping systems need precision machining work, we bring the machine shop to your job site. Our portable field machining equipment and experienced crews handle everything from flange repairs to complex pipe modifications—all while your system stays in place.

Complete Field Machining Solutions

Flange Re-Facing

Damaged or corroded flange faces create leak paths that compromise system integrity. Our portable flange facers restore proper sealing surfaces to RTJ, raised face, and flat face configurations. We maintain precise surface finishes and concentricity requirements, ensuring your flanges seal properly and meet code specifications.

Pipe Transitioning

Misaligned pipe runs and dimensional discrepancies happen. Our field machining capabilities solve these challenges without costly re-work or system modifications. We machine custom transitions, modify existing connections, and create precise fits between dissimilar pipe sizes or wall thicknesses.

Line Boring

Heavy machinery components develop worn, damaged, or misaligned bores that compromise equipment performance. Our portable line boring equipment precisely enlarges, realigns, or repairs existing holes in metal components, restoring proper dimensional tolerances and extending equipment life.

Drilling & Tapping

Field drilling and tapping operations require precision and proper technique to maintain system integrity. Our crews handle everything from instrument connections to large-diameter access ports, using the right cutting tools and techniques for each material and wall thickness.

Pipe Cutting & Beveling

Clean, precise cuts and proper bevel preparation are essential for quality welds. Our portable pipe cutting and beveling equipment handles everything from small bore tubing to large diameter heavy wall pipe, maintaining the dimensional accuracy and surface finish required for code-compliant welding.
