See how RamTech Mechanical has helped industrial facilities solve critical mechanical challenges. These case studies demonstrate our approach, capabilities, and the results we deliver.
A manufacturing plant experienced a sudden boiler tube failure on a Friday evening, causing an immediate shutdown. With production scheduled through the weekend, every hour of downtime was costing thousands in lost output.
RamTech dispatched an emergency team within 90 minutes. Our certified welders performed an on-site tube repair using ASME-compliant procedures, completed pressure testing, and restored the boiler to operation.
The boiler was back online in under 8 hours. The facility resumed production Saturday morning with minimal impact to their weekend schedule—saving an estimated $50,000+ in avoided downtime losses.
A food processing facility was experiencing inconsistent steam pressure, high fuel costs, and frequent steam trap failures. Production quality was suffering due to unreliable steam delivery to cooking and sterilization processes.
RamTech conducted a comprehensive steam system audit, identified 23 failed steam traps, located multiple distribution leaks, and developed a phased repair plan. We replaced traps, repaired leaks, and optimized the condensate return system.
Steam system efficiency improved by 18%, reducing annual fuel costs by approximately $45,000. Consistent steam pressure improved product quality, and the facility eliminated recurring trap failure calls.
A regional hospital's aging gas piping system failed pressure testing during a routine inspection. The facility needed to bring the system into compliance before their insurance renewal deadline—with minimal disruption to 24/7 patient care operations.
RamTech developed a phased repair plan that allowed the hospital to maintain operations. We replaced deteriorated piping sections, installed new regulators and safety valves, and completed full pressure testing with proper documentation.
The hospital passed their follow-up inspection with full documentation, renewed their insurance without issue, and now has a modern, safe gas system. Zero patient care disruption during the entire project.
A sampling of additional projects demonstrating our range of capabilities
Upgraded outdated burner controls on two 500 HP boilers to improve combustion efficiency and meet current NFPA 85 requirements.
Replaced 200 feet of corroded high-pressure steam piping during a scheduled outage with ASME B31.1 compliant fabrication and installation.
Diagnosed and repaired chronic water hammer issues in a condensate return system by replacing failed traps and correcting pipe pitch problems.
Provided mechanical and welding support for new boiler installation at a university, including piping tie-ins and gas train connections.
Responded to a feedwater pump failure on a Saturday, sourced replacement parts, and had the system back online before Monday production.
Investigated recurring boiler trips, identified a faulty low-water cutoff causing intermittent false signals, and implemented a permanent solution.
