Established in 1981, Triple R Engineering began by providing services to the wood and pulp industry. Over the years the company diversified and now caters to a broad spectrum of heavy industrial and engineering customers. Its service philosophy of ‘Repair, Rework, and Rebuild’ remains central to much of the company’s work. In February 2010, the company transitioned into Triple R Engineering 2010 Limited, following its sale to Mark and Debbie. With approximately 14 staff members, many of whom have been with the company for a considerable time, Triple R Engineering boasts a team with extensive knowledge and experience in general engineering as well as in its clients’ facilities, equipment, and needs. The company actively employs and trains apprentices to pass on expertise, ensuring continuity for customers. Triple R Engineering’s expertise in metal spraying is vital in the refurbishment process. “As one of the leading specialists in thermal spraying and surface treatments to metal components we keep up with the continuous development of new surface coating processes in order to meet industry’s appetite for new products and to give engineers a way to repair and protect a wide range of mechanical engineering equipment for longer life, lower manufacturing costs and cost effective repair instead of expensive replacements,” says Mark. Thermal metal spray coating involves heating material (in powder or wire form) until it is in a molten state, then propelling it with gas or air to deposit a layer on a receiving component. This process can be repeated many times allowing Triple R Engineering to build several layers to precise specifications. Common applications for thermal metal spray and surface treatment include repair and reconditioning, anti-corrosion coatings, erosion prevention and insulation. Together with the standard and larger machinery Triple R Engineering has this gives the company the ability to tackle both small and large components. “Depending on the customer’s requirements our trained specialists will work in the workshop or on site-spraying a huge variety of different materials,” says Mark. “If you can melt it we can spray it. Materials include steel, tungsten carbide, chrome carbide, ceramics and plastic composite. From a large industrial plant in remote locations to marine engines at sea, removal of worn components to workshop repairs our specialist thermal metal spraying experience saves clients money and brings their components back from the dead.” Manufacturing and fabrication services are also offered, where Triple R Engineering works closely with customers to develop specifications and designs before manufacturing components in a one-stop facility. Triple R Engineering guarantees quality work and provides fast and professional service, often with quick turnaround times, which can be as quick as the same day, says Mark, which again helps reduce machinery downtime for clients, allowing them to resume operations promptly. “With our expertise, experience and dedication to quality and efficiency, our aim is for Triple R Engineering to be a reliable partner for industries seeking sustainable and cost-effective solutions,” says Mark. “We do the hard stuff, so our clients can concentrate on the easy stuff.”
