Mawdsleys are delighted to have recently completed a motor repair tender for a large port in Falmouth involving the repair of 9 motors, fans, pumps, compressor motors and associated equipment.
These types of motor repair tenders require fast and competitive quotes with an even faster turnaround.
The Challenge
When a ship’s motor, fans or pumps are in need of a repair, the ship’s operator will contact ports around the UK to ask for quotes. Ports will then put the tenders out for companies like us to quote on, the ship will then dock at the port which wins the tender.
Price, quality, speed and experience are all driving factors in the acquisition of these tenders. In this instance, the port had allocated 7 days for the motors to be collected, repaired and delivered back. Our fully equipped in-house workshop allows us to quote competitively, as well as guaranteeing turnaround within the 7-day deadline.We coordinate the transport to and from the port, repair the units, and deliver back to the port along with relevant supporting documentation and certificates of compliance detailing the work carried out.
The Solution
We have a vast experience carrying out motor overhaul work for the marine industry, including working on the new Frigates. During these jobs, it’s important to liaise closely with the ship’s manager throughout to ensure work is completed in a timely manner.
The standard process for AC motor repairs in our workshop is as follows:
- Units stripped down
- Mechanical and electrical checks
- Clean windings
- Dynamic balance rotor
- Replace seal and gaskets
- Supply and fit new bearings
- Assemble and test
