In Line Boring - On-Site

The global Metalock Engineering Group have designed and manufactured a superb range of accurate portable inline boring equipment suitable for any on site boring project anywhere, anytime.

In Line Boring by the Metalock Engineering Group - Servicing the Worlds Industries with Specialist Engineering Skills.

Line boring takes time, particularly if you have to dismantle large items of machinery for transportation to a workshop. If you can’t remove the equipment we will bring the in-line boring equipment to your site and carry out any inline boring requirements you may have. Anything from Coupling bolt hole bores to Turbine Cylinders it’s not a problem, we can help.

By applying the skills learned over many years working on very large onsite machining projects and continuously developing specialised accurate in-line boring equipment for even the most challenging of tasks, Metalock leads the way with this special purpose, portable boring machines, and techniques for the accurate machining of plant and equipment on site.

Other Industries

We carry out in line boring in horizontal and vertical positions such as on turbine cylinders or hydro power units. If we can secure the boring equipment we can complete the job. It’s not just in the marine and offshore industry, we carry out this type of in situ boring work in ANY industry together with all other types of onsite machining activities such as facing, grinding, milling, drilling and tapping, thread milling, orbital turning, shaft recovery for manufacturing, power, steel, mining and petrochemicals industries. We offer the same high standard of work, whoever our customer.

Also, we provide a broad range of specialist engineering services such as Metalock cold casting repairs (metal stitching), thermal spraying, advanced welding, Laser tracker alignment and 3D scanning using the latest equipment for the repair or upgrading of plant and machinery.

Regular Maintenance and Shut Down

Line boring of steel mill gearboxes, mill stand screw-down bores and crop shears are some of the activities we carry out for the international steel production industry. We realise the enormous forces, pressures and temperatures, which these machines are subjected to and we complete upgrade projects all around the world every year for steel producers and OEMs.

Assisting companies in their regular maintenance and shut down work as well as major projects form part of our daily activities. We welcome partnerships and liaise with our customers to plan, co-ordinate and execute projects on time and on budget.
