Machine Shop Services

The Wärtsilä Propulsion Services workshop facility in Glasgow, Scotland, offers all the capabilities of a conventional manual machine shop. It is also fully equipped for repair and breakdown work on a 24/7 basis if required.

Wärtsilä can provide a full range of turning, milling, vertical boring and horizontal boring services for propellers, thrusters and water-jets. Our operating areas are varied to include, marine, oil and gas, hydro and general engineering. All our engineers are used to working with a variety of materials such as aluminum bronze, stainless steel (including duplex) and cast iron.

Reverse engineering of obsolete parts

One of the key Wärtsilä strengths is reverse engineering of obsolete parts, including non-original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components. This means that we can produce and machine new castings in any material against a sample. Our workshop is fitted with a special 10 tonne overhead crane equipped to handle and load large pieces into our larger machines, such as the Long Bed Lathe and Large Horizontal Borer.
