Electroplating

Electroplating is a process using metallic solutions, suspended in liquid form, which are then deposited onto base metal, through an electrolytic process.

Its purpose is to act as a filler medium for damaged surfaces caused by:
– Wear: in bearings, housings, bearing bushes/shells and crankshafts;
– Material failures: on machined surfaces
– Impacts (friction): hydraulic cylinder rods, drying cylinders and compressor cylinders.

Electroplating can be applied on the following base materials: Cast Iron, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Bronze and Chrome Materials.

The benefits of Electroplating are:
– Prevents disassembly of the equipment to be repaired;
– Execution of the procedure on-site.

The world’s leading class-approved
structural repair solution

At the forefront of structural engineering, SPS Technology introduces a revolutionary solution - the Sandwich Plate System (SPS). This proprietarie structural composite material, compresed of two metal plates bonded by ElastocoreT, become a hallmark of safed, speed, durability, and strength in construction.

MARITIME

When it comes to strength, quality and permanence for vessel and asset repairs in the maritime industry, nothing compares to SPS.

SPS – the sustainable solution for Maritime and Offshore.

Structural composites such as SPS®, Sandwich Plate System, for structural reinstatements and reinforcements are forward-looking, progressive and genuinely reinforce environmental sustainability. Conventional 'crop & renew' creates a lot of waste: the corroded surface is completely removed and scrapped. Pipe runs and tanks beneath the corroded area may need to be removed or cleaned to commence a repair. Crop and renew is almost always undertaken in drydock or requires complex arrangements that add travel, expense and downtime costs. With SPS, the corroded surface can stay in place and be used to form one side of the structural composite repair.

TRADITIONAL CROP AND RENEW:

  • Requires up to 90% more labor
  • Is up to 11 more expensive than SPS
  • Projects are 3x slower compared with SPS
  • Might need dive boats and underwater cofferdams
  • Does not allow work in adjacent areas to continue in parallel
  • Lengthens project schedules if services need dismantling

ALL OF WHICH ADDS UP TO A LOT OF CARBON EMISSIONS.

For cost-effective maritime repairs and modifications, the clear choice is SPS.
