On-Site Line Boring
On-Site & In-Situ Line Boring
Nicol & Andrew have been line boring main bearing pockets, turbine casings, tail shaft bores, rudder bores and industrial equipment bearing housings for decades.
With our latest Laser guided boring equipment, we can now correct even the slightest misalignment problem on every size and range of diesel engines or marine/industrial plant.
Our new flexible setup fixtures can cope with lengths up to 12 meters and diameters over a metre.
We can machine main bearing pockets and caps on any engine. We can also carry out on-site line boring to engine blocks, propeller housings and ships steering gear.
We work alongside companies involved with power generation, offshore platforms, the marine industry and many others.
