From
Working Drawings into Working Boilers
|
| Plans |
 |
All boilers are built from design-assessed plans approved
by a boiler inspector or engineering surveyor. |
|
| Materials
and Resources |
 |
All welding rods, boilerplate, tubing and solid
bars
have traceability and relevant certification. |
|
| Cutting |
|
Although oxy-acetylene is normally used,
laser-cutting is sometimes used to ensure consistency when multiple identical components are required. |
|
| Bending
and Forming |
 |
A full range of facilities is available for all types and
sizes of materials. |
|
| Welding |
 |
It is the combination of
knowledge, skill, experience and a passion for high quality workmanship
which makes welding by TRS special.
Boilers are hand-built, not mass-produced, and TRS is proud of the
"as-welded" appearance of its products. |
|
| Riveting
and Rivet Detail |
 |
TRS specialises in producing fully-welded
new boilers and uses riveting where appropriate in restoration work. |
|
| Grinding
and Cleaning |
 |
Completed boilers are
thoroughly cleaned, with minimal grinding, to remove spatter and scale. TRS is
happy to leave its boilers in their as-welded
condition. |
|
| Fixtures
and Fittings |
|
Just as much attention is paid to
the detail of all fixtures and fittings as to the boilers themselves. For example, as
well as normal external welding, TRS also welds any bosses, or similar
parts, on the inside of its boilers to minimise crevice corrosion. |
|
| Tubing |
 |
The majority of boiler tubes
are steel. In addition special requests such as copper tubing can be
commissioned. Tubes are expanded by hand rather than being welded. This
enables the tubes to be replaced and extends the working life of the
boiler. |
|
| Inspection
and Testing |
 |
All boilers are independently tested by an external
inspector. They are hydraulically tested to twice maximum working pressure
and fully certificated to all relevant specifications. |
|
| Documentation
and Delivery |
|
A full portfolio of documentation is supplied with every
boiler which authenticates its pedigree and enhances its future resale
value. The documentation includes material certificates, welder certification, welding
procedures, hydraulic test and inspection reports.
Boilers are delivered worldwide and
packaging and transportation are arranged in consultation with the
customer. |
