Replacement Ship-Lock Valves

Problem: The Government of Canada had undertaken a $3-billion rehabilitation project of its 386 km long network of locks, bridges and dams. The original valves (lock valves) were supplied by a foundry in the UK about a hundred years ago and our workmanship needed to match the original specifications.
Solution: This exciting project required a full-on collaboration between our Foundry and Mine Equipment Divisions to bring the deliverable to fruition: the Foundry to cast the shell structure of the valve body and the Mine Equipment Division to make the valve spool structures. We successfully produced 14 replacement valves in total.
