Our in-situ specialists recently completed yet another in-situ “tooth dentistry” repair. This particular repair assignment was carried out on a ten year old dry-bulk carrier in Canada. It was a small job that was quickly completed as it just involved the replacement of a single broken tooth on the flywheel of the vessel’s 50-bore main engine.

Two of our skilled in-situ specialists from the United States undertook the task. The process began with machining off the damaged tooth, which they did with the help of a portable milling machine. Following this, a prefabricated tooth, prepared in advance and grought along by our team, was accurately installed, ensuring a tight fit and seamless integration with the existing flywheel .

This successful repair underscores QuantiServ’s ability to provide efficient and reliable in-situ solutions, big and small.
