Project Overview

One of our technicians tuned up the equipment at Armstrong Fluid Technology in Scarborough to keep their docks and doors working efficiently and safely.

During the preventive maintenance inspection, our technician discovered a bolt for the main cylinder of a dock on the floor of the pit. This missing bolt could have led to a dock failure and costly downtime for this busy facility. Therefore our technician reinstalled the missing bolt and tightened all other bolts.
