Engineering Services
Our engineering team develops cannot-fail systems for Navy Nuclear applications, including new product design, technical justification, and manufacturing optimization. We specialize in undersea engineering challenges requiring precision dimensional metrology and material testing. With expertise in AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards, we deliver solutions trusted by top shipbuilders for critical submarine components.
Precision Machining
We produce LEVEL I nuclear submarine components using advanced machinery like 5-axis mill-turn systems and heavy turning equipment. Our capabilities include machining heat-resistant super alloys, complex assembly of mechanical systems, and repair of in-service components. All processes meet NAVSEA, BPMI, and commercial welding specifications for cannot-fail applications.
Technical Services
Our technical services provide expertise in quality management systems, weld procedure development, and workforce training for Navy Nuclear manufacturing. We offer pre-audit support, material traceability systems, and simulation testing to help partners meet rigorous defense standards while accelerating production timelines.
Welding & Brazing
We perform NAVSEA-approved welding and brazing to S9074-AR-GIB-010/278 specifications, including GTAW-M, GTAW-SA, and furnace brazing. Our capabilities cover hardfacing, cladding, and groove welds for submarine components, with procedures approved by major defense contractors like Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics Electric Boat.
Quality Assurance
Our quality systems include in-house dimensional metrology, material testing, and compliance with MIL-STD-45662 and EB2678 standards. We provide hydrostatic flow testing, gas leakage analysis, and thermal shock validation to ensure components meet cannot-fail requirements for undersea operations.
