Can welding and fabrication help keep old process equipment running instead of replacing it?
Strong in-house welding and fabrication let PEC rebuild worn frames, replace obsolete parts, and add sanitary or structural upgrades on the spot. By restoring strength, sealing leaks, and tailoring retrofits to today’s codes, we keep your legacy process equipment productive for years without the cost and downtime of full replacement.
When aging mixers, conveyors, or pressure vessels start showing cracks, pitting, or misalignment, PEC steps in before you need a multimillion-dollar purchase order. With our AWS-certified welders and 70,000 sq. ft. Industrial Metal Fabrication shop, PEC can reverse-engineer worn or OEM-discontinued components, cut and form new stainless, carbon, or aluminum parts, and deliver code-compliant TIG, MIG, or flux-core welds that meet food-grade or high-pressure standards. Because fabrication, millwright and rigging services, and process piping installation are all under one roof, repairs happen rapidly—often during a planned weekend shutdown—so production stays on schedule.
Beyond patching leaks, our structural steel fabrication team can reinforce weakened bases, add access platforms, or integrate modern sensors and sanitary quick-disconnects, turning a 20-year-old asset into a safer, higher-capacity machine. In-situ welding crews arrive with fully stocked service trucks, eliminating the shipping, wait time, and risk that come with off-site shops. The result is lower total cost of ownership, reduced scrap, and higher OEE without the depreciation hit of new equipment.
Whether you need a one-off gearbox mount or a turnkey industrial contracting partner to overhaul an entire line, PEC’s industrial process equipment services and emergency industrial equipment repair keep industrial plants across the Southeast running reliably.
