For some time we have heard talk of explosions, fires and leaks of dangerous products in refineries, offshore stations or even nuclear power plants. The human and material consequences are often very serious and disastrous. Often these tragedies could have been prevented through maintenance performed on time and with the right equipment. SERCO machines can repair sealing surfaces directly on-site, without removing a welded valve or cutting a defective weld flange to replace it with a new one. On-site repair, therefore, saves time in disassembly, transport to a workshop, reassembly of equipment and performance of weld control functions. Depending on the size of the equipment, a standard replacement operation may take two or three days and generate excessive administrative management due to performance of many required operations. A SERCO portable machine can solve these problems in a few hours at most, thus saving large increments of time, which allows for a faster restart of the installation, and a large reduction in non-production related costs.

Warning, it is mandatory to perform a high quality repair that is durable over time. The key to a high quality, durable repair is the importance of using appropriate equipment. The machine must be able to reach all the seal surfaces (valve seats, raised surfaces, grooves, etc.) and repair them to their original condition. SERCO machines were designed by our engineers specifically for these types of on-site uses. For over 40 years, SERCO has been using these machines for on-site maintenance and repair services. SERCO is continuously striving to improve its equipment in order to obtain the most suitable response to the issues of in-situ utilization; small size, light weight, accuracy and durability.
