Maintenance Challenges in Chemical Plants, Refineries, and Power Plants
Downtime is the industry’s greatest enemy. Especially in sensitive production processes at chemical plants, refineries, or energy facilities, even minor defects in valves, piping, or flange connections can result in significant costs. Traditional repair methods often require a complete plant shutdown—with far–reaching consequences for efficiency, safety, and supply reliability.
In addition, there is often a shortage of specialists in on–site mobile machining or in the reproduction of spare parts for complex components when drawings are no longer available. In emergencies such as leaks during operation, every minute counts—and unlike a traditional workshop solution, on–site mobile machining is the best option.

Real-world project examples
Process of sealing
Our mobile machines process workpieces right at your production line — vibration–free, gentle on the material, and precise. Whether it’s face milling, shaft machining, or spindle work: we bring the workshop to the workpiece.
Just give us a call, and we’ll handle the rest — all the way to a finished, certified solution — without any downtime for your production line.
Leak detection and initial assessment
The leak is reported via the 24-hour emergency hotline. Initial details are recorded and the urgency of the situation is assessed.
On-site inspection
A specialist will inspect the leak on-site. During the inspection, the feasibility will be assessed and the leak will be precisely measured.
Feasibility analysis and sealing concept
Based on the available operating parameters and assessment, and taking the customer’s requirements into account, a sealing concept is developed and discussed with the customer.
Design and calculation
The custom sealing component is designed and calculated in accordance with TÜV certification standards, taking into account pressure, the medium, and other operating parameters.
Raw material selection and cutting to size
We immediately cut the blank from our certified raw material (up to 300 mm plate thickness, 50 tons in stock) in-house.
CNC machining and measurement
The component is programmed using state-of-the-art 3D CAM technology, milled, and then automatically measured — ensuring the highest precision and fit.
Quality assurance
Every component is thoroughly inspected, certified, stamped, and provided to the customer with all accompanying documentation.
Installation of the seal
The manufactured sealing block is installed directly at the outlet and sealed tightly with high-quality compound materials.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Thanks to our on–call service and dispatch team, we are able to be on–site anywhere in the country within a few hours — 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
We work where others first have to dismantle: on–site, precisely, and quickly. No transportation, no waiting times, no downtime — we bring the solution right to the problem.
Yes. Through our reverse engineering service, we analyze existing parts, digitize them, and manufacture replacement parts — even without a physical model.
Our customers come from the chemical, energy, food, pharmaceutical, and heavy industries, as well as refineries — anywhere where process reliability is critical.
Every service call is fully documented, including inspection reports, photos, measurement data, and, where applicable, TÜV certification — all in a digital and audit–proof format.
Absolutely. We offer shutdown management as a comprehensive service — including scheduling, team coordination, and post–shutdown documentation.
The workshop comes to the workpiece. This mobile maintenance service for plant components saves time and money and minimizes the risk of production downtime. By working directly on the equipment, there is no need for time–consuming disassembly or transport. In addition, many tasks — such as milling or flange machining — can be performed while the equipment is in operation.
When sealing leaks during operation, special sealing solutions are used that act thermally, mechanically, or chemically — depending on the medium, pressure, and temperature. This ensures a 100% seal during operation without having to shut down the system.
Yes, our services also include reverse engineering and reproduction without drawings. Using 3D scanning, material analysis, and CAD design, we manufacture replacement parts even when the original drawings are no longer available. This is ideal for older systems, custom fittings, or components that are no longer available.
We offer comprehensive valve repair and modification services: replacement of sealing systems, adaptation of actuators, conversion for use with special media, modifications for higher pressures or temperatures, and integration into automated systems — all inclusive of testing and documentation.
Hot–tapping, also known as tapping under pressure, is a method used to create branch connections or vent points in pipelines while they are under full operating pressure. It is used when pipelines cannot be shut down, such as in district heating networks, chemical plants, or cooling circuits.
