Other Products and Services from Royce Onsite Machining Ltd
Infrastructure & Construction
Our expert team specialises in on-site machining services for a diverse range of construction assets across industrial, commercial, and residential building sites. We provide precision line boring for major infrastructure projects, such as nuclear power plants and bridges, as well as metal stitching for storage tanks and docking facilities. Our commitment is to deliver expert repairs precisely where they are required.
We recognise that time is of the essence in construction projects. That’s why we offer a 24/7 service to minimise downtime and prevent project delays. Many construction assets are either too large or permanently installed, making off-site repairs impractical. Our on-site machining solutions eliminate the need for dismantling, saving you both time and money while ensuring unmatched precision and reliability.
Tailshaft Machining
Our company offers expert onsite machining and polishing services for tailshaft journals, effectively eliminating signs of damage while preserving precise concentricity and roundness in accordance with OEM tolerances. This specialist repair is usually completed within just a few days, ensuring a quick turnaround for your operations. To further accelerate the process, customers can pre-bore undersized bearings, which significantly reduces downtime.
Case Studies: Crankshaft Machining
Royce Onsite Machining was engaged to perform an urgent in-situ crankshaft repair following a major engine failure on a power generation unit. Crankpin No. 6 displayed noticeable surface damage, heat cracks, and excessive hardness readings of 600 Brinell — significantly exceeding OEM operating limits.
To avoid a complete crankshaft replacement and minimise extended downtime, the client required a thorough in-situ recovery. Our skilled technicians were mobilised within days to assess, machine, heat-treat, and fully restore the crankpin — all without the need to remove the crankshaft from the engine block.
