Hot tap DN350 on DN500 header

DN350 Hot Tap on DN500 Potable Water Header

Our teams carried out a DN350 PN10 hot tap on a DN500 potable water header, with no service interruption.

Following the installation by the client of a welded DN350 flange connection and a full-bore valve, we proceeded with the hot tapping operations under pressure.

The tapping machine was mounted onto the valve and subjected to a nitrogen tightness test to ensure full safety before drilling. The cut, with a diameter of 324 mm, was performed with precision, and the coupon was returned to the client at the end of the intervention.

In the case of rolled or spiral-welded headers, an internal reinforcement is systematically installed to prevent any equipment blockage and ensure safe execution.

This operation highlights our expertise in large-diameter live tapping, combining technical precision, safety, and compliance with sanitary standards for potable water networks.

Measurement elbow and wheel kaplan

Geometric Measurement of a Hydraulic Elbow and Kaplan Runner

A metrology inspection was carried out on an assembly consisting of a hydraulic elbow and a Kaplan runner, in accordance with the specifications of an established inspection procedure. The operation was conducted both on-site and in the workshop, with measurements taken at various stages of the process, including phases before and after the removal of certain components.

The inspections focused on several key elements: runner diameter, axial position of the blades, perpendicularity of the elbow, and various internal dimensions. A complete survey of the bearing was also performed, with particular attention paid to its centering and perpendicularity.

Additional measurements were taken on an old runner shroud, whose surface condition imposed certain limitations on the analysis. A comparison with the 3D model made it possible to visually identify deviations from the theoretical geometry, particularly in areas with excess material or recesses.

All points outlined in the inspection plan were covered, enabling the establishment of a comprehensive dimensional assessment of the equipment for operational use or future technical interventions.

Restoration of a Turbo Food Pump

Restoration of a Turbo Food Pump

🔧 Emergency Response at TACQUET INDUSTRIES ⚙️

At the beginning of 2024, in the middle of the winter season, TACQUET INDUSTRIES responds to an urgent call for the restoration of a Turbo Food Pump. This critical situation impacts the operator’s electricity production, which is only stabilized at 47% of capacity.
📉 The strategic and financial stakes are high!

🚀 An expert team is immediately deployed to the site. What’s their mission? Assess the means needed to restore this vital equipment. In no time, a thorough study confirms the procedure and establishes a provisional schedule.

OBJECTIVES
– Dimensional and geometric controls of the upper and lower body combining sophisticated metrology «SCAN 3D & TRACKER LASER» as well as conventional
– Destruction of damaged rushes
– Mechanical crimping of new reeds
– Recovery of the pitting and sealing ranges of these reeds
– Dimensional and geometric checks for acceptance

Days later, our teams start construction 👷
Two machines and a staff of ten technicians are deployed to optimize response time. The checks and analyses are carried out before the first machining operations begin.

💪 The flexibility of our design office, workshop and stakeholders has made it possible to achieve this mission successfully, while respecting our client’s tight schedule.

TACQUET INDUSTRIES, always at your service, even in the most critical moments ! 🚀🔧

Alignment control 2 bronze bearings

Metrological Inspection of a Pump Shaft Line

A metrological inspection was carried out on a pump shaft line as part of an on-site technical assessment. The purpose of the intervention was to verify the alignment and geometry of the bearings, both in their operational position and after disassembly.

Measurements were performed using a high-precision laser tracker, enabling a detailed analysis of the structure and its mechanical interfaces. The study focused on rotational axes and support surfaces, taking into account the specific mounting configurations.

All measurements defined in the scope of the mission were successfully completed, allowing for validation of the installation’s geometry and confirmation of its expected behavior under real operating conditions.

Control on Shaft G2

Geometric Inspection of a Shaft at a Hydroelectric Site

A measurement campaign was conducted on a drive shaft as part of an on-site intervention at a hydroelectric facility. The objective was to inspect its position as well as that of several nearby reference elements, such as flats and locating spheres.

The inspection was carried out using a high-precision laser tracker, enabling the acquisition of three-dimensional geometric data directly under operational conditions. All measurements were adjusted to a standard reference temperature to ensure accuracy and reliability.

This operation made it possible to precisely determine the position and orientation of the shaft, while also establishing its relative distances to peripheral reference points. The recorded geometric configuration can serve as a baseline for future adjustments or as part of ongoing dimensional monitoring of the installation.

All elements defined in the scope of the mission were measured in accordance with expectations, ensuring full traceability of the system’s geometry.
