Shipbuilding
Welcome to the shipbuilding section
At Groupe Swagelok Quebec, we support you in the design, construction and commissioning of your maritime construction projects. Locally based, we can respond quickly to your needs by email, phone or through a Swagelok specialist. For fluid lines on your ships and under two inches, you can find advice from us in order to optimize their durability and performance. Because we know how essential it is to choose reliable and responsive suppliers, we are committed on a daily basis to effectively solve the challenges faced by our customers.
What we can do to help you
Durability
At sea, safety is paramount. This is why the choice of reliable and durable materials is essential. Several elements such as water, air humidity and salt can accelerate the corrosion process on parts and tubing . Vibration can also prematurely wear down the components of your system. Quality Swagelok products reduce the effect of corrosion under these conditions. Ask us for advice: a leak could be an issue for the equipment or installations located around your line!
Quick installation and maintenance
The space constraints on board ships in particular make the use of welding more difficult and dangerous. That's why the use of Swagelok compression tube fittings dramatically speeds up installation and maintenance time with the highest level of reliability. It makes it possible to create a watertight and reproducible seal, even after several refits.
