QuantiServ in-situ machining specialists from China, Sweden and Singapore joined forces in a shipyard in China to carry out in-situ polishing on one one of the world’s very largest diesel engines. The 14-cylinder, 96-bore engine is installed on a 14,000 TEU container ship.
Our engineers and technicians worked in two shifts, around the clock, seven days a week to machine-polish 17 main journals and 14 crank pins while the vessel was docked in Beihai Shipyard, Qingdao, undergoing steel work. It was one of the most extensive polishing jobs that we have ever carried out. And it was done in record time!
All the necessary dismantling and reassembling work was carried out by us as well. In a case like this it pays off that many of our in-situ personnel are multi-skilled – they don’t only do the machining work, but can conduct any mechanical work as well if required.
In addition, our reconditioning centre in Shanghai also carried out cylinder cover reconditioning for a sister ship, belonging to the same customer, that was docked in the same shipyard a few weeks earlier.
