Weir Power & Industrial specializes in
re-engineering and extending the service life of pumps, turbines
and other critical rotating equipment.
We are a leader in the repair and refurbishing of
large rotating equipment, both on and off site. Whether it’s an
emergency breakdown, a complete overhaul or a scheduled shutdown,
Weir Power & Industrial engineers have vast experience to
repair and restoration techniques and these are utilized on the
most worn out mechanical machinery to new, or often "better than
new" condition.
Working with you, our design team can propose
upgrades to increase capacity or improve performance. This
service can vary from a simple material change through to a fully
redesigned hydraulic profile to produce a greater head or flow from
the same casing arrangement.
We also provide a complete service for equipment
upgrades from initial conceptual design through manufacture and
assembly to site installation and commissioning and subsequent post
contact support.
