Heat exchanger repair: plate, shell & tube, hairpin, and fin-fan

We repair plate and shell-and-tube units and support hairpin and fin-fan repair work. Repairs restore transfer efficiency and stabilise process control.

Heat exchanger maintenance and cleaning to minimize downtime

Planned maintenance plans fit your operating calendar to reduce unplanned stoppages. Professional cleaning—from chemical plate baths to mechanical bundle work—removes fouling that chokes flow and cuts performance.

Inspection and performance audits for reliable operation

We run audits to spot bottlenecks, recommend corrective steps, and track improvements over time. Reports include measurable findings so you can compare before and after.

Refurbishment and component replacement

We replace gaskets, bolts, and connection linings and offer refurbishment options that extend equipment life. Certificates of Compliance and material traceability are provided when applicable.

Fabrication and bundle manufacturing support

For complex projects we coordinate bundle fabrication to OEM tolerances and perform QC to ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1 & 2. This keeps design duty intact and speeds return to service.

  • Options: cleaning, regasketing, or full refurbishment with cost-benefit guidance.
  • Documentation: service reports, Mill Certifications, and compliance paperwork.
  • Fast booking: Call 604-670-3737 to schedule an inspection or repair window.

Maintenance and repair expertise that reduces downtime

Quick, methodical maintenance reduces unplanned stops and extends equipment life. We explain technical steps in plain terms and tell you when to act to avoid bigger issues.

Plate cleaning process

Our plate cleaning follows a proven sequence: remove gaskets, descale and soak plates in a controlled acid bath, then rinse. We use UV inspection to find pinholes or cracks before installing new gaskets.

Regasketing and materials

We fit OEM-grade gasket materials and use correct bonding methods. Gaskets are heat set to ensure adhesion and reliable sealing before we reassemble the plate pack to drawing specs.

Onsite support and signals to act

When product temperatures drift or pressure varies, call us. Those are classic signs of fouling or gasket failure that can cascade into larger problems.

Specialised technologies and quality assurance you can count on

Advanced machining and joining methods give you repeatable results and lower risk on complex repairs. We select equipment and processes to match metallurgy and duty so you get predictable outcomes.

Precision CNC drilling, orbital welding, and controlled tube expansion

We use precision CNC drilling and orbital welding to deliver consistent tube-to-tubesheet joints. This reduces leak risk during thermal cycling.

High-pressure hydraulic and Matex variable-speed tube expansion seat tubes without excessive work hardening. That extends life and safeguards heat transfer.

Run-pull tooling and bundle saw cutting for faster re-tubes

Run-pull technology and tube bundle saw cutting speed re-tubes on shell units. Faster turnarounds mean shorter outages and lower process risk.

QC inspections to ASME Sec. VIII Div. 1 & 2 with traceable documentation

All fabricated components get formal inspection with Certificates of Compliance. Reports show material heat numbers, thickness checks, and measured tolerances.

We show you exactly how advanced methods reduce risk and improve outcomes, so you can approve work with confidence.
