Services
Electric Motor Repair
Our EASA-accredited shops provide complete repair and rebuild services for AC and DC motors from fractional horsepower to 10,000 HP industrial units. We perform precision rewinding, dynamic balancing, core loss testing, and PdMA diagnostics to restore motors to OEM specifications. Our technicians use vacuum pressure impregnation and zero-vibration testing to ensure long-term reliability for critical operations.
Predictive Maintenance
We implement advanced monitoring programs using vibration analysis, infrared thermography, and electrical signature analysis to detect early signs of equipment failure. Our NETA-compliant testing identifies insulation degradation, bearing wear, and alignment issues before they cause downtime. This proactive approach extends equipment life while maintaining compliance with industry safety standards.
Railroad Equipment Repair
Specialized repair services for railroad traction motors, generators, and cooling systems meet AAR standards. Our technicians perform complete rewinding, commutator servicing, and dynamic balancing on AC/DC traction motors. We offer UTEX exchange programs and field service support for locomotive electrical systems, ensuring reliable operation for rail transport networks.
Switchgear Testing
We conduct NETA-compliant testing and maintenance for low and medium-voltage switchgear, including insulation resistance tests, hi-pot testing, and circuit breaker analysis. Our services include breaker reconditioning, relay testing, and transfer switch maintenance to prevent electrical failures. Retrofits and modernization upgrades extend equipment life while improving system reliability.
Hoist & Crane Services
Our OSHA-compliant services include inspection, repair, and certification of hoists, cranes, and rigging equipment. We perform load testing, brake inspections, and control system diagnostics to ensure safe operation. Preventative maintenance programs reduce downtime while meeting regulatory requirements for industrial lifting applications.
