Our Services
Mechanical Engineering Services Built Around Experience
Six clearly defined categories covering the complete operational lifecycle of industrial machinery — from mechanical installation to reactive breakdown support. Every service is backed by 30+ years of hands-on mechanical experience.
Mechanical Installations
Experienced mechanical installation of industrial machinery and equipment — from individual machines to mechanical involvement in larger industrial projects. We position, assemble, align and integrate equipment so it is ready to run properly.
The Operational Problem It Solves
New equipment arriving, a line being built out, or machinery needing replacement — and no mechanical resource with the hands-on experience to install it properly and to programme.
Key Mechanical Capabilities
- Industrial machinery installation
- Automated equipment installation
- Bespoke machinery installation
- Mechanical assembly
- Equipment positioning
- Mechanical alignment
- Mechanical integration
- Installation support
Conveyors & Spiral Systems
A prominent specialist capability. We mechanically install, modify, maintain and problem-solve conveyor and spiral conveyor systems within industrial and automated environments — with specific, proven experience in spiral conveyor installations.
The Operational Problem It Solves
A conveyor or spiral system that needs installing, modifying, relocating or repairing, and a requirement for someone who genuinely understands the mechanical behaviour of continuous material handling systems.
Key Mechanical Capabilities
- Conveyor installation
- Spiral conveyor installation
- Conveyor modifications
- Conveyor relocation
- Conveyor maintenance
- Conveyor repairs
- Mechanical fault finding
- Existing system alterations
- Mechanical support for conveyor upgrades
Robotics & Automation Installation
Strictly mechanically focused. We provide the mechanical installation of robotic arms, robot cell framing, guarding and automated machinery — working alongside electrical, controls and automation specialists where required. We do not provide PLC programming, software engineering, robot programming or electrical installation.
The Operational Problem It Solves
An automation project that needs experienced mechanical positioning, assembly and secure mounting of robots and automated equipment, without overlap into controls or programming.
Key Mechanical Capabilities
- Mechanical installation of robotic arms
- Robot positioning
- Robot cell mechanical installation
- Automated machinery installation
- Mechanical assembly
- Mechanical integration support
Maintenance & Breakdown Support
A dependable mechanical engineering resource for keeping industrial equipment operational. When machinery stops, the priority is understanding what is happening mechanically, finding a practical solution and getting operations moving again — minimising unnecessary downtime.
The Operational Problem It Solves
Equipment that needs planned mechanical maintenance, or has stopped unexpectedly and requires experienced fault finding and a fast, practical repair.
Key Mechanical Capabilities
- Planned mechanical maintenance
- Preventative maintenance
- Reactive maintenance
- Mechanical fault finding
- Mechanical repairs
- Equipment breakdown support
- Conveyor maintenance
- Machinery maintenance
- Mechanical component replacement
- On-site troubleshooting
- On-call breakdown support where arranged
Machinery Modifications & Relocations
A core area where our 30+ years of experience and practical problem-solving deliver real value. Existing machinery does not always need replacing — experienced mechanical thinking can often identify practical ways to modify, adapt, relocate and reinstall equipment to suit changing operational requirements.
The Operational Problem It Solves
Equipment that needs altering, upgrading, reconfiguring or moving to another part of the facility — and a requirement for experienced mechanical thinking rather than capital replacement.
Key Mechanical Capabilities
- Machinery modifications
- Mechanical alterations
- Equipment upgrades
- Existing system modifications
- Mechanical improvements
- Machinery dismantling
- Machinery relocation
- Equipment repositioning
- Reinstallation
- Mechanical problem-solving
- Adapting equipment to changing operational requirements
Site & Engineering Support
A flexible mechanical engineering resource for when additional experience or manpower is required. Equally comfortable supporting a defined installation project or integrating directly alongside an existing site engineering team — from shutdowns to shift and holiday cover.
The Operational Problem It Solves
A planned shutdown, a major installation project, or an engineering resource gap that requires experienced mechanical engineering support on site immediately.
Key Mechanical Capabilities
- Site management
- Mechanical installation supervision
- Project support
- Shutdown support
- Planned maintenance shutdowns
- Engineering shift cover
- Holiday / sickness cover
- Temporary mechanical engineering support
- Additional engineering resource
- Installation project support
- Working alongside existing engineering teams
