Upgrades & Retrofits

We have also successfully completed thousands of improvement projects to existing B&W and non-B&W utility and industrial boilers. Many of these projects required innovative design, material or product solutions that significantly enhanced equipment performance and reliability. Advanced longer-lasting materials, improved designs, and application-specific pressure part arrangements are just a few ways that installed boilers benefit from our upgrade projects.
