We have strong ties with Metalock of Australia P/L [established 1952] based in Melbourne with branches in Perth and Sydney: they provide technical training and assistance in developing the Thai group.

Our staff have undertaken extensive repairs on major equipment for power plants, cement mills, sugar mills, pulp and paper manufacturers, refineries, chemical plants, mining, shipping, rail, construction equipment and press / forging companies.


History
Metalock originated in the oil fields of Texas in the mid 1930's to overcome the explosive potential of welding repairs. Therefore a system was developed which eliminated heat, and had many ancillary advantages, including the elimination of distortion, which obviated the necessity of re-machining in the great majority of cases.

Subsequent development by the U.S.A. defence forces during World War II spread this technology and its acceptance in the heavy industries, especially marine. 

Further development in the 1950's led to the establishment of the Metalock International Association, a unique organisation operating in many countries.

The Metalock Process is a repair system based on fundamental engineering principles.

• Repairs can be made to cast iron, steel and other alloys
• Many repairs can be carried out onsite.
• Maintains alignment with little or no re-machining.
• Dampens compression stresses / spreads tensile strain.
• Distributes the load away from fatigue points.
• The repair does not require the application of heat which introduces fresh stresses.
• A pressure tight seal can be achieved.
• The Metalock process is recognised by Classification Societies.
