Mines

FAB - Pressure Vessel Service

Sometimes, the equipment to be fixed can’t be brought into our shop. Like in this case: a pressure vessel needed repair, but was located in a mine hundreds of kilometers north of our facilities! Sending it by plane or road was not an option, so the work had to be done onsite, with all the preparation that entailed.

Pulp and Paper Industry

FAB - Pulp and Paper Equipment Services

In 2017, our client was hired to transform a paper machine into a board machine for a large North American paper manufacturer. Some parts of the machine had to be modified and others refurbished. It was a major project that required several subcontractors and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to work together. Several companies were solicited to work on different sections of the machine, including FAB 3R, which was hired to refurbish the dryer section.
