Mobile machining

Mobile machining

TS Site Services provides mobile machining services quickly on a variety of tasks that are normally solved with conventional machining in a workshop. Instead of dismantling equipment and transporting it to a workshop, we can achieve the same quality on site using mobile equipment. 

We have an extensive machine park with turning, milling, drilling and cutting machines that are powerful, flexible and can be used in EX zones. The machines are attached to the workpiece with machine jaws, welding, magnets or screwed in. If necessary, the machines can be modified to solve a given task.

Our areas of expertise

Turning

Turning of all types of circular and cylindrical structures – on site. 

  • Flanges: All types according to standards (ASME RF/RJ, API 6B/BX, NCF5/SPO Compact, EN1092-1, DIN 28032, etc.) 
  • Clamp connections: Grayloc, Vector Techlock, Galperti G-Lok, Destec G-Range and others.
  • Risers and special flanges: Machining of various types of sealing surfaces (AX/VX, FX, CX, CF, etc.)
  • Heat exchangers and pressure vessels: Machining of shells, end caps, tube sheets and manholes
  • Crane pedestals and tower segments
  • Axle journals
  • Riser tensioner joints

Milling

2, 3 or 4-axis milling machines with pneumatic or hydraulic operation.

  • Leveling of all types of foundations for machines, engines, pumps and structures
  • Hatch covers and flanges for thrusters
  • Crane tracks and skid beams
  • Parting grooves in tube sheets on heat exchangers
  • Keyway

Line drilling

Drilling of one or more through holes in a line. Performed to strict diameter tolerances and requirements for straightness of the line.

  • Articulated joints: Worn joints in lifting and construction equipment
  • Warehouse
  • Propeller sleeves
  • Mounting points in structures

Drilling, countersinking and threading

  • Drilling holes up to 150 mm diameter in one efficient operation.
  • Bolt removal: Drilling out and removing stuck bolts without damaging the surrounding structure.
  • Hole pattern on flanges
  • Threading: Up to M100.
  • Broaching and honing

Cold cutting

Mechanical cutting and jointing.

  • Cutting and jointing of pipes: All dimensions, wall thicknesses and material qualities with the possibility of cutting and jointing in one operation
  • Cutting steel profiles: H-beams, square profiles and other steel structures

Frequently asked questions

Yes. TS Site Services has machines developed specifically for machining compact flanges.

The AX-08 is our compact external turning machine for small flanges in very limited space areas, enabling machining where standard equipment cannot reach.

Mobile machining is machining performed directly on site when equipment cannot or should not be dismantled. The service reduces downtime, lowers costs and delivers workshop quality on site.

Mobile machining provides minimal downtime, as well as reduced costs associated with dismantling and transporting parts to a workshop.

We serve on-/offshore, process industry, refineries, petrochemicals, maritime sector and heavy industry, nationally and internationally.

TS Site Services performs all common machining operations on-site:

  • Turning: Flanges (ASME, API, NCF5/SPO), clamp connections, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, manholes, shaft journals and risers.
  • Milling: Foundations, heat exchanger plates, manhole covers, square flanges, crane tracks and keyways.
  • Line drilling: Joints, bearing bosses, bow ports, propeller sleeves.
  • Pipe cutting and jointing: Pipes of all dimensions and materials, including casing and risers.
  • Drilling, reaming and threading

We can deliver the service onshore and offshore throughout the country and internationally.

Contact us and describe your challenge. Our engineers will recommend the right method and equipment, even for non-standard assignments.

Yes. TS Site Services can in many cases modify equipment for a given task, but we can also, in collaboration with the equipment manufacturer, develop new equipment as needed.

Yes. By choosing the right equipment in combination with modern measuring equipment and experienced personnel, we achieve the same tolerances as in a workshop.
