M&A Engineering Ltd was asked to undertake linear machining of the 8 metre tracks of a bridge. Each setup covered an area of 2m x 3m and the track was accurately match blended at each move using an optical telescope.

The yacht 'Midnight', under repair at the Pendennis Shipyard in Falmouth, England required machining of bearing bores, effected by M&A Engineering. While under repair at the Pendennis yard, it was discovered that the aluminium-hulled vessel had a misalignment between the gearbox, stern tube bearing, and ‘A’ frame bearing locations.

M&A Engineering was tasked with repairing the port & starboard prop shaft bearings, with the shafts remaining in the ship.

M&A Engineering performed an alignment and line boring exercise on the S Y Adix, a large racing yacht, to correct a misalignment that had prevented the shaft from turning properly.

M&A Engineering offers a comprehensive range of line boring equipment, with the capability of machining bores from 58mm diameter (2¼”) to more than 2m (78¾”).

When existing locations for locking pins were found to be worn, M&A Engineering was asked by Northwestern Ship Repairers to assist in the repair of pin locations on the vessel MV Wind, a task that meant cutting out existing plates and welding in new sections at each of three ocations, on forward, port and starboard legs.

M&A Engineering won the contract to design, manufacture and utilise specialised pipe machining equipment for the ‘Deep Panuke Development’, Nova Scotia.

Special equipment specifically designed for fuel pump seat machining on Pielstick engines has been developed by M&A Engineering.

'The Pride of Bilbao', a car ferry traversing the route between England and Spain, required a repair to its Pielstick engine.

The Stena 'Europe' was found to have excessive wear in the lower housing bore for the bow thruster drive shaft during a dry dock inspection. The best solution would be to bore out the existing housing to accept a sleeve which, in turn would have to be machined out to return the housing to its original dimensions - exactly.

M&A Engineering was contacted by Northern Marine Management to carry out an urgent repair on the Stena 'Seatrader', while in dry dock at Holland's Scheldepoort Yard.

M&A now possesses the most extensive heavy workshop facilities in West Wales, with the ability to take workpieces up to 10 tonnes in weight. Our workshop is the most modern of its kind in the area, with a full range of machines to allow for the maintenance, repair or manufacture of plant from the petrochemical, energy, marine and metals industries.

M&A Engineering has extended its on-site capabilities for wind turbines. Capable of machining diameters of up to 4.5 metres, the company can machine even large tower flanges without transporting components to remanufacturing workshops.
