Replace sluce gate, support seals, and idler sheaves for operating Tidal Power Generator. Annapolis Tidal Power operates the world’s first commercial tidal power electric generating station which has been in service since 1984. Upgrades to power generator structural components and hoisting systems and winches.

Components were extracted from client’s shipboard faculty and reinstalled on a container mount frame which was to be relocated on a wharf or deck mounter. Used on site for ultra-high filtering of aviation fuel from delivery to tank and from tank to final end use. Filters remove particulate and water droplets which could compromise engine…

CME was responsible for the fabrication and assembly of these components. Shown is a complex jib crane style of make lift hoist to support and deploy a simulated passenger helicopter. In practice this hoist dunks the simulator in a water pool and inverts it. Trainees are riding in the simulator in a safety controlled escape…

These duct sections, some up to 50’x14’x12′ were designed for exhaust filtration duct work for a new thermal power generator under construction in Maryland. Early delivery was paramount. Material was made with heat resistant JA387 grill alloy requiring special welding procedures. Handling and assembling large panels was a challenge. CME designed equivalent structural sections in…

An affiliate company has designed an efficient method to reclaim used foundry sand for indefinite re-use. After the molten metal pour and solidification, the process removes the resin as well as dust and carbon fibres. The cleaned sand achieves more reliable mold detail and allows gas venting into the sand body due to removal of…

Short surface was machined and sleeved where a failed bearing caused shaft damage. Sleeve was precision machined true to shaft. Assembly was dynamically balanced with surface to renew bearing surfaces.

The Department of National Defense land operations have 20 Krupp cranes for field engineering and recovery which were no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturer. CME submitted a proposal to develop ways to refurbish these cranes to a fully acceptable working condition. They were dismantled, inspected, repaired or refurbished mechanically, hydraulically and electronically. A…

As a Metso approved overhaul facility for various models of Norberg rock crushers, CME developed written inspection procedures, a checklist, specialized methods and tooling to dismantle and reassemble. We developed production and QA forms to record NDT results and measure found conditions and dimensions. CME identifies cracks, distortion and component wear. From this, a repair…

The Canadian Navy operates several specialized pieces of equipment harbour and barges to service the fleet. This refuelling and electrical back up power vessel project required removal of old diesel power generator sets and re installation of modern power generator sets and electrical panels. Equipment removal on ships require selective removal or avoidance of obstructions.…

Edmunston energy’s vertical Kaplan power station had a worn components and was out of alignment. The entire dam had settled and the unit was no longer plumb. CME documented dismantling under our specialists’ experienced supervision. We determined that the cause of out of plumb was settling of the dam itself. We removed and serviced worn…
