01  /  CORPORATE OVERVIEW

Built on precision.

A mechanical engineering company for operations where equipment failure is measured in lost production, not inconvenience.

02

THE MANDATE

We work on the equipment that has to keep running.

03

THE COMPANY

A mechanical engineering and maintenance company

Crawford RigMech provides mechanical engineering, maintenance, fabrication and inspection services to industrial and offshore operations. The work covers rotating equipment — pumps, compressors, gearboxes, drive systems — along with valves, pipework, structures and the mechanical installations that carry them.

We operate in two modes: in the workshop, where equipment can be stripped, measured, machined and tested under control; and on site, where the asset cannot move and the work has to come to it.

04  /  OPERATING PHILOSOPHY

What we hold to

// 04.1   MISSION

Keep critical mechanical equipment running, and leave behind a record that makes the next intervention easier.

// 04.2   APPROACH

Establish the actual condition first. Design the fix around the mechanism, not around the symptom.

05

METHODOLOGY

Engineering principles

05.1  /  TOLERANCE

Measured, not estimated

Alignment, clearance and torque are verified against a figure and recorded. Equipment set by eye fails on a schedule nobody can predict.

05.2  /  ROOT CAUSE

Fix the mechanism

A bearing that fails three times is not a bearing problem. We trace the failure back to what is driving it — misalignment, pipe strain, lubrication, contamination or duty — and design that out.

05.3  /  DOCUMENTATION

Findings, measurements and replaced parts recorded against the asset.

06  /  SAFETY & QUALITY

Safety is how the work is organised.

Not a policy document, and not a separate department. It is permit-to-work, toolbox talks, isolation, lifting plans and stop-work authority — applied on every job, on every shift, by everyone on site.

  • Risk assessment and method statement before mobilisation
  • Isolation and permit compliance under the client's system
  • Lifting operations planned and supervised
  • Stop-work authority held by every person on the job
  • Inspection and test points defined before work starts

07  /  CAPABILITY

What working with us looks like

The operating standards we hold ourselves to on every job, regardless of its size.

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.

08  /  ENVIRONMENTS

Where we operate

Onshore plant, offshore assets and controlled workshop conditions

01

Oil & Gas

Drilling support, production equipment and pressure systems across upstream and midstream operations.

02

Energy & Power

Rotating equipment, turbine auxiliaries and balance-of-plant mechanical systems.

03

Industrial Manufacturing

Production line machinery, conveying systems and plant mechanical infrastructure.

04

Heavy Equipment

Hydraulic systems, gearboxes, drivetrains and structural repair on heavy plant.

05

Processing Facilities

Pumps, compressors, valves and pipework serving continuous process operations.

06

Marine & Offshore

Deck machinery, mooring equipment and offshore structural mechanical support.

09  /  LEADERSHIP

Direction from the workshop floor up

Crawford RigMech is led by an engineer, not an administrator. Technical decisions are made by someone who has done the work.

10 / WORK WITH US

Bring us in before the failure, not after it.

Early involvement is cheaper than a breakdown. Tell us what the equipment is doing and we will tell you what it needs.
