Mechanical Engineering
Design, analysis and technical support for mechanical systems operating under real industrial loads.
02 / OVERVIEW
The people you call when the machine has to run.
Crawford RigMech works on heavy mechanical systems — pumps, compressors, gearboxes, valves, drive systems and the structures that carry them.
We are brought in when equipment is failing, when a shutdown window has to be met, or when a mechanical problem has outlasted the attempts to fix it. The work is scoped honestly, executed to a written method, and handed back documented — so the next person to open the machine starts from evidence rather than guesswork.
Discipline
Mechanical
Engineering, maintenance & fabrication
03 / CAPABILITIES
Core engineering services
Eight mechanical disciplines, delivered on your site or in the workshop
Rig Mechanical Support
Mechanical support for drilling and production equipment, on rig and in the yard.
Equipment Maintenance
Corrective and planned maintenance on rotating and static mechanical equipment.
Industrial Fabrication
Structural and pipework fabrication, welding and machining to drawing.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled inspection and servicing programmes built around your actual equipment list.
Mechanical Installation
Setting, aligning and commissioning mechanical equipment into live plant.
Equipment Inspection
Condition assessment and inspection of mechanical equipment and structures.
Engineering Support
Embedded mechanical engineering capability for teams without it in-house.
04 / WORKSHOP & FIELD
Where the component cannot move, the workshop does.
Some work belongs on a controlled workshop floor: strip-down, inspection, machining, rebuild and test. Some cannot leave the asset at all. We work both ways — and the decision is made on what protects the schedule, not on what is convenient.
In workshop
Overhaul, machining, rebuild, test
On site
Repair, alignment, installation, callout
05 / THE BENCHMARK
Why operators bring us back
Not because of a slogan. Because the work holds up, the paperwork exists, and the next intervention is easier than the last one.
01
Reliability
Work scoped honestly and completed to the method agreed. No surprises at handover.
02
Safety Discipline
Permit-to-work, toolbox talks and stop-work authority applied on every job, every shift.
03
Engineering Precision
Alignment, tolerance and torque verified and recorded — not estimated by eye.
04
Response
Mobilisation planned around your shutdown window, including unplanned breakdown attendance.
05
Technical Experience
Mechanical technicians who have worked the equipment, not just read the manual.
06
Quality Control
Inspection and test points defined before work starts and signed off as they are passed.
07
Operation
Every intervention is planned around one objective — the asset running again, and staying running, inside the window that protects production.
08
Mission Ownership
The operator's production target is carried as our own. The work is judged by whether the equipment holds up after we leave site.
06 / SECTORS
Industries we work in
Heavy mechanical systems behave the same way whoever owns them
Oil & Gas
Drilling support, production equipment and pressure systems across upstream and midstream operations.
Energy & Power
Rotating equipment, turbine auxiliaries and balance-of-plant mechanical systems.
Industrial Manufacturing
Production line machinery, conveying systems and plant mechanical infrastructure.
Heavy Equipment
Hydraulic systems, gearboxes, drivetrains and structural repair on heavy plant.
Processing Facilities
Pumps, compressors, valves and pipework serving continuous process operations.
Marine & Offshore
Deck machinery, mooring equipment and offshore structural mechanical support.
07 / METHOD
How the work runs
The same eight stages on a two-day repair and a full overhaul. The depth changes. The sequence does not.
Assessment
Site attendance, condition survey and failure analysis. We establish what the equipment is actually doing before anyone proposes a fix.
Engineering
Technical solution defined against the operating envelope — loads, tolerances, materials and access constraints.
Planning
Method statement, risk assessment, parts, tooling and manning scheduled against your shutdown window.
Execution
Work carried out by mechanical technicians under a written procedure, with hold points recorded as they are passed.
Installation
Components installed to the written method — alignment, clearances and torque set against the drawing, with hold points signed as they are passed.
Commissioning
Controlled start-up and function checks under operating conditions, before the asset is declared ready.
Testing
Function testing, alignment verification and performance checks before the asset is handed back.
Handover
Documented completion — what was found, what was done, what was replaced, and what to watch.
08 / STANDARD
Dependable mechanical engineering, documented end to end.
Every job leaves a record: what was found, what was done, what was measured and what to watch next.
09 / WORD OF MOUTH
Operators who have run the job with us
The work is judged after we leave site — by whether the asset holds up and whether the record holds together.
Crawford RigMech kept our shutdown on schedule and handed everything back documented. The next intervention started from evidence, not guesswork.
