Our team was deployed for an urgent structural restoration of a cracked main engine block on a large container vessel. Traditional welding was ruled out due to the high risk of thermal distortion and structural weakening of the cast iron component.
FMCS METALOCK specialists were deployed immediately to the vessel at anchor. We utilized the Metalock Cold Repair process to stitch the bedplate back to its original strength. By precisely calculating the stress points and using custom nickel-alloy keys, we stabilized the fracture without removing the engine from its mountings.
