Wal-Tech Valve © 2009
Wal-Tech Valve provides complete management of your valve maintenance and repair requirements from 24 hour a day, 7 day a week emergency service for critical repairs to complete management of your valve repair and maintenance activities during scheduled outages or maintenance turnarounds.
Wal-Tech Valve is proud of its certification by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors for shop and field repairs of ASME Code Sections I and VIII safety valves. Wal-Tech Valve applies the same high level Quality Assurance Program that allows us to maintain this certification to the repair of gate, globe, check, control, regulator, plug and butterfly valves.
Wal-Tech Valve's commitment to safety in our shop or at your facility ensures that all of our Wal-Tech Valve employees have the knowledge, equipment and desire to work with safety as the utmost concern. We demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement of our safety performance by our ongoing relationship with the North Western Florida Safety Council and the Petroleum Education Council.
Shop Service
Wal-Tech Valve handles repairs from a modern 20,000 plus square foot facility. From the very beginning, the facility has been designed to promote safety and efficiency. Our well-equipped shop allows us to do most repairs in-house. Our association with the best manufacturers in the industry provides us with ready access to OEM replacement parts.
Personnel
Our shop personnel have undergone extensive classroom, shop and onsite training. This training combined with many years of industrial experience guarantees Wal-Tech Valve will always provide efficient, reliable, trouble free service. Wal-Tech Valve also has an Engineering Support Group that can be called upon to provide operational and requirements-minded solutions to your valve problems.
Valve Testing
Wal-Tech Valve bench tests each safety or relief valve repaired in our facility to guarantee the valve will work right when it has to. Our 1750 PSIG steam boiler equipped with a 65 cubic foot accumulator allow us to test many valves at near plant operating conditions. Wal-Tech Valve also performs bench testing on inert gas or water as required.
Wal-Tech Valve also provides in-line testing of safety or relief valves. Using our specially developed tools and computerized data collection and documentation program, we can save you time and expense. Valve performance can be validated without ever removing the valve from the line.
Oxygen Cleaning Capabilities
Wal-Tech Valve maintains the shop environment, training and strict Quality Assurance standards necessary to guarantee valves intended for oxygen service are properly cleaned, labeled and packaged. Oxygen cleaning capabilities coupled with our repair services and testing capabilities means that you get a valve that is ready for service when you need it and that the valve will function flawlessly once in service.
Field Service
Wal-tech Valve’s well trained and highly experienced field service staff, our modern equipment and facilities along with our association with the best manufacturers in the industry make us the only choice for your in-plant valve repair and maintenance work. Whether it is emergency service to get you back on line in the shortest possible time or a scheduled outage for plant maintenance, Wal-Tech Valve has the resources to get the job done!
Our skilled service technicians will diagnose valve problems and effect repairs to get you back in operation in the shortest time possible. Our inline repair capabilities, extensive parts inventory and well-equipped shop ensure that we are prepared for any situation.
Because time is critical during an emergency repair, Wal-Tech Valves’s Quality Assurance program provides for inspection of each step in the repair process. Our technicians document each step and provide a complete maintenance report. Our attention to detail ensures that valuable downtime is used wisely.
Scheduled Maintenance
The high costs of plant down time, whether scheduled or not, demands that any outage be limited to as short a duration as practical. Wal-Tech Valve can help minimize your scheduled down time and maximize your profit producing operating time by providing turn key valve repair services for your outage. Our three-phase approach: (1) pre-outage (2) outage (3) post outage ensures that all of the details are attended to.
Stocking Inventory
Why does it always seem that the only spare part you need is the one that you don’t have? You might have thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in idle parts and equipment collecting dust on a warehouse shelf. But it never fails that what fails is the part that you didn’t anticipate failing. On top of this, the ever increasing pressures to increase profitability are forcing operating facilities to consider the wisdom of having large inventories of spare parts.
Wal-Tech Valve’s unique stocking program provides an opportunity to reduce spare parts expenditures without significantly increasing your downtime exposure. We can maintain your inventory in a centralized inventory to support your facilities throughout the world. When your maintenance or service needs require, we ship you a pre-tested, fully serviced replacement valve.
We store each customer's inventory in a secured segregated area. Wal-Tech Valve can store your valves to your specifications. Valves can be stored until needed, sold or scrapped. We can inspect used valves, submit a description of the recommended repairs and even purchase any required replacement parts. Refurbishment of returned valves can then be delayed until the timing best suits your needs. When the valve must be returned to service, you do not incur the cost of the repair until the actual need for the valve arises. Should you have surplus inventory, our broad industry exposure guarantees that you will receive the highest possible recovery value for your valves.
Our complete ASME Certified Repair and Service Shop ensures that when you authorize Wal-Tech Valve to service your valves, the valve will be returned to as good as new condition. The valve is ready when you’re ready for it. It is completely refurbished, tested at near-plant conditions and even oxygen cleaned when required.
