MILLING, DRILLING & TAPPING

Milling, drilling & tapping.

Portable milling, drilling, tapping, broken-stud removal and thread restoration at the vessel or facility.

ASSESSMENT / INSPECTION / REPAIR
Assessment before commitmentProject-specific acceptance criteriaDocumented verification

Bring the machining process to the component.

Each assignment needs a defined reference, a suitable setup and clear dimensional requirements. OSM reviews the proposed work with the component condition and site constraints in view.

Machinery surfaces and foundations

The scope includes engine top-deck and bedplate work, bearing-cap seating faces, thrust surfaces, gearbox foundations, pump and compressor bases, and thruster mounting surfaces.

Broken studs and thread repair

Broken cylinder-head studs are removed by EDM or drilling. Thread restoration includes Helicoil, Timesert and solid inserts, alongside tie-rod tunnel and foundation-bolt-hole work.

Mounting pads and interfaces

Applications include fuel-pump mounting pads, injector-pump flanges, lube-oil pump mounting faces, injector bores, dowel holes and bolt holes.

Scope follows the component

Portable machining is carried out at the component where access and geometry allow.

Potential scope.

  • Scope and setup review for onsite milling operations.
  • Machining of agreed faces and mounting surfaces.
  • Drilling and tapping within the approved layout and dimensions.
  • Inspection of the completed features against agreed requirements.

The listed activities are a starting point for scope discussion, not a guarantee of suitability for a particular component.

What helps us evaluate the work.

  • Drawings, dimensions, hole patterns or required feature locations.
  • Material, component condition and reference surfaces.
  • Site access, permitted setup and operational constraints.
