Explore how our specialised services can help elevate your operations to new standards of quality and performance.
Sanitary stainless tube welding
McGrath engineering can work with our clients to provide 100% sanitary welds in their process pipework.
This tube welding process minimizes the possibility of contamination. It involves creating a fully penetrated weld that accesses the inside of the tube and forms a smooth surface. Our welds will be purged with a highly pure inert gas (such as argon) to remove the hazardous gases released and built up during the welding process. Sanitary tube welding is used for applications that require high sanitary standards, such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries.
All our welds are passivated to ensure the removal of weld discoloration and remove contaminants which are potential corrosion sites.
Skid fabrication
McGrath Engineering has had the opportunity to fabricate and install many skids that service the food, beverage, manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries. Ranging from water treatment, pasteuriser skids, CIP skids and filtration systems for various uses.
Our team have the extensive knowledge & experience to work with our clients from concept designs through to fabrication & installation.
Orbital welding
Looking for that extra assurance of quality on your project? McGrath engineering can provide orbital welding services to ensure consistent, full penetration welds on all joints.
Orbital welding is a technique whereby the welding tool is rotated through 360° (or 180° in double up welding) around a static workpiece. Originally developed to solve the problem of operator error in Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding (also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)), and allow for a uniform weld around pipes and tubes, which can be difficult to achieve with manual welding processes.
Pipe spooling and coded welding
McGrath engineering offers fully qualified tradesman to fabricate your most difficult and complex pipe projects. Weather its mild steel, stainless steel (304 or 316) or something more exotic like super duplex McGrath can tackle the toughest projects to the highest standards.
