The fastest and most accurate method of controlled bolt tightening currently in the industry, hydraulic bolt tensioning enables a direct load to be applied evenly across all bolts and eliminates the factors introduced via bolt torquing operations.
Due to our investment in the latest tensioning technologies we have the capability to carry out applications previously inaccessible to older tooling. Our engineering and support team ensures our technicians have the right tool for every for application.
Flange Spreading
Our Mechanical and Hydraulic flange spreading solutions provide our technicians with a fast method of accessing gaskets in all types of flanged connections. This safe operation dramatically reduces down time, increases efficiency and ultimately reduces the cost of a gasket change out.
Hydraulic Nut Splitting
EnerMech technicians utilise specialist hydraulic equipment to offer the most rapid and effective method of removing corroded or seized nuts. This operation eliminates the need for undesirable and time-consuming operations such as cutting, grinding or chiselling. The ease and speed of use ensures that client deadlines and targets are achieved despite such problems occurring.
Ultrasonic Bolt Monitoring
In critical applications it is sometimes necessary to ascertain a precise bolt load. Our technicians combine our proven tightening techniques with our highly accurate ultrasonic bolt monitoring equipment to achieve a “fully controlled tightening method”. By measuring the actual elongation, we can eliminate variables such as temperature and friction to give our clients an accurate reading of bolt load, stress or % strain.
Boiler Weighing
Our specialist team and hydraulic tooling offer our clients an effective way of reducing high stress concentration in boiler assemblies. The operation uses our tooling to accurately measure the load in each of the individual boiler supports. The hydraulic tooling is then used to balance and distribute this load to that specified by our client or original design.
Turbine Tightening
Our technicians have vast experience in the specialist operation of break out and fully controlled torque tightening of turbine casings, turbine coupling shaft and HP steam inlets. Using our specially adapted tooling and bespoke solutions, we can carry out safe and efficient tightening operations on equipment with difficult access and non-standard configurations.

The process of Air Blowing is used for both the cleaning and drying of process systems and pipe work. At EnerMech our team of specialists’ carryout this post construction activity for intervention to ensure that a system is free of debris, before a decompression air blow can take place.
A detailed engineering review is undertaken to determine the optimum flow rate to achieve the desired cleanliness result, and ensure an operational flow rate is exceeded by a factor of 150%.
Once the system is pressurized to a pre-determined pressure, the system is immediately decompressed to the right atmosphere using either a rupture disk or alternatively a fast action full bore valve system. This is done through a noise reducing receiver, which acts as a filter for any debris. The decompression process continues until the required cleanliness levels have been achieved.
The decompression process continues until the required cleanliness levels have been achieved, with follow on air blowing undertaken as necessary to achieve the correct dryness.
