What is the difference between repair and overhaul?

Repair fixes what failed. Overhaul strips the machine, measures every clearance against the manufacturer's data and replaces everything outside tolerance. Repair returns equipment to service; overhaul returns it to specification.

Do you issue a report?

Yes — as-found condition with a photographic record, the work carried out, components replaced, and as-left clearance and alignment readings. Without that the next failure has no history to diagnose against.

Workshop wherever the equipment can be removed, because measurement and cleanliness are controlled there. In-place repair is used for large machines, equipment integral to a structure, and work that must happen inside a shutdown window.

Industrial Machinery Repair & Overhaul Bahrain

Most equipment that comes in for repair does not have a single failed component. It has a worn system, and replacing the part that finally broke returns it to service with everything else still worn. Overhaul means stripping, measuring against the manufacturer’s clearances, and replacing everything outside tolerance.

Equipment

Pumps and fluid equipment — centrifugal, positive displacement and submersible, including wear ring and clearance restoration
Valves — repair, reseating, refurbishment and pressure testing
Gearboxes and drives — gearing, bearings, seals and alignment
Hydraulic and pneumatic systems — cylinders, power packs, valves and circuits
Material handling equipment — conveyors, hoists and associated machinery
Industrial engines — non-automotive power units
Machine tools — metal cutting and forming equipment
Process furnaces and heavy machinery for industrial applications

How an overhaul runs

Incoming inspection, condition recording and photographic record
Strip-down with component identification and tagging
Dimensional inspection against the manufacturer’s clearance data
Repair, machining or replacement of components outside tolerance
Reassembly to specified torque, clearance and alignment values
Testing where facilities allow — pressure, run and performance
Report issued with as-found condition, work done and as-left readings

Site and workshop

Equipment that can be removed is overhauled in the workshop, where measurement and cleanliness are controlled. Equipment that cannot — large machines, equipment integral to a structure, work inside a shutdown window — is repaired in place, with the same measurement discipline applied under less favourable conditions.
