Companies Doing Automated Weld Overlay on ID of Columns and Vessels

[MikeMet]

I'm looking for more companies that do automated (mechanized) overlay welding on the ID of columns and pressure vessels using single or twin wire GMAW.

We have use WSI (now Aquilex) and JV Industrial. Looking for other still in business. Rentjes gone a long time ago, GE Welding Services (now part of Aquilex).

Any others?

Thanks for the replies I just realized I left out some very important words;

"IN THE FIELD"

I'm familiar with RC Tech, Universal and Klad, they only do shop work with weld automated or mechanized weld overlay.

I'm looking for companies that erect mechanisms inside the vessel and do automated welding using GMAW. I had heard of PCI but was not sure they did field work So thanks for that one.

One reason that you may be having trouble is the new restriction on hexavailant Cr in airborne environments.
Welding or high Cr grades produces a lot of hex Cr near to the weld. When you do it inside of a vessel, well you get the idea.
The latest revision of the regs does not allow the use of PPA, it must be an engineering solution.
I know one company that has stopped doing field overlay work because of this.

rentjes is now hytech and they are out of Lee Summit, Missouri. They do on site overlay.

Wachs in Belmont, NC might have something, though I wouldn't bet my life on it. WSI was the first one that came to mind.
