Field Machining Services

Six services. One on-site crew.

Every service below is performed in-situ. Your equipment stays where it is — we bring a full portable machine shop to your plant, on your schedule.

Service 01

Flange Facing

When a flange leaks, nothing else matters until it seals. BOMS performs in-situ flange facing so you don't ship the flange off-site and don't drop a nozzle to re-machine a gasket seat.

Our flange facers handle every common gasket configuration — clamp-on, split-frame, or OD/ID-mount — and we carry inserts and spec sheets for every standard flange class from ANSI 150 through 2500.

What's Included

  • ✓Ring Type Joint (RTJ) — hex and oct
  • ✓Raised Face (RF) and Flat Face (FF)
  • ✓Tongue and Groove
  • ✓Gasket area prep and serration cleanup
  • ✓Out-of-flat and out-of-parallel correction
  • ✓ANSI 150–2500, API 6A, and custom

Service 02

Drilling & Boring

Broken studs. Blown-out thermowells. Gamma plug replacements during a turnaround. Every one of those jobs stops a crew cold — unless you've got a portable boring machine on site with an operator who can dial it in fast.

BOMS brings the rig, the bits, and the experience to put a round, square, tolerance-held hole exactly where you need it — on a vessel wall, in a header, or through a flange.

What's Included

  • ✓Thermowell boring
  • ✓Gamma plug drilling
  • ✓Stuck stud and bolt removal
  • ✓Weldolet hole drilling
  • ✓Tapped hole repair
  • ✓Blind and through holes to spec

Service 03

Milling

Pump and motor mounting surfaces, gearbox flanges, seal housings, weld crowns — any flat or profiled surface that's gone out-of-true can be brought back in-place with a portable mill.

We mill rotating equipment mounts, ID and OD profiles, and weld crown removal on large-bore piping and pressure vessels — with documented flatness and parallelism reports on every job.

What's Included

  • ✓Pump and motor mount resurfacing
  • ✓ID and OD profiling
  • ✓Weld crown removal
  • ✓Gearbox and seal housing machining
  • ✓Mating surface correction
  • ✓Flatness and parallelism documentation

Service 04

Weld Prep & ID Matching

A good weld starts with a clean, square prep and matched IDs — anything less gives you turbulence, stress risers, and a call-back when the weld fails inspection.

BOMS prepares pipe, fittings, nozzles, and valves for welding with precise bevel geometry (J-bevel, compound bevels, transition preps) and matches internal diameters across joints to keep the flow clean.

What's Included

  • ✓Straight pipe weld prep
  • ✓Fittings, nozzles, and valves
  • ✓ID matching across joints
  • ✓J-bevel and compound bevels
  • ✓Counterbore to spec
  • ✓Nozzle reinforcement work

Service 05

Boiler Support

Boilermakers don't get second chances on an outage. BOMS runs boiler support for header work, tube replacements, and cutout/prep jobs that have to finish before the next watch starts.

We've cut and prepped headers on utility boilers, recovery boilers, HRSGs, and package steam units — and we know when the schedule is the #1 spec.

What's Included

  • ✓Tube preparation and bevels
  • ✓Header tube removal
  • ✓Header preparation for tube welding
  • ✓Header cutout
  • ✓HRSG, recovery, utility boiler support
  • ✓Outage schedule discipline

Service 06

Vessel & Heat Exchanger Segmentation

When a vessel or exchanger has to come out and it's bigger than the road can handle, it comes out in sections. We section pressure vessels and heat exchangers into shippable pieces — square, clean, burr-free cuts that make re-welding straightforward.

We coordinate with the rigging crew and haul operator so the cuts land exactly where the transport plan needs them.

What's Included

  • ✓Pressure vessel sectioning
  • ✓Heat exchanger cutting
  • ✓Shippable sections
  • ✓Square, burr-free cuts
  • ✓Rigging coordination
  • ✓Transport-friendly cut planning
