Mechanical Installation and Removal

Our own crews and tooling, for planned work and for unplanned shutdowns.

About this service

What WF Service delivers in this discipline

We install and remove industrial equipment in plants, on vessels and at terminals. The service covers sequence planning, load handling, controlled strip-down with component positions recorded, inspection, and reassembly with alignment and torqueing to specification.

Strip-down is an engineering task, not a labouring one. Components removed without sequence control, marking and proper storage cause rework on reassembly and premature failures after start-up. Our procedure records the condition found before any work begins.

We have our own tooling, including special fixtures made in-house for jobs that cannot be done with conventional tools.

Scope of work

  • Planning of installation and removal sequences
  • Controlled strip-down with the condition found on record
  • Component inspection and recommendation report
  • Shaft alignment by dial indicator and laser
  • Controlled torqueing with values recorded
  • Installation and levelling of equipment and bases
  • Manufacture of special fixtures and tooling
  • Load handling and positioning

What it means for your operation

What this service changes on your asset

Each point below is a practical consequence of how the work is carried out — not a generic promise of quality.

Reassembly without rework

Recording the condition found and the strip-down sequence removes error on reassembly.

A reliable start-up

Controlled alignment and torqueing reduce vibration and premature failure after start-up.

Tooling available

Special fixtures made in-house whenever the job calls for them.

Diagnosis included

Inspection during strip-down produces engineering recommendations for the next maintenance cycle.
