Replacement component prepared in the AEWS workshop

Replacement Components  for Industrial Equipment

We provide reverse engineering and replacement component fabrication services, working from existing components, site measurements and equipment assemblies to manufacture replacement parts where original drawings or specifications are unavailable.

This capability is particularly valuable when supporting ageing industrial equipment, obsolete components and plant maintenance activities where replacement parts may no longer be readily available.

From individual components through to complete fabricated assemblies, our workshop provides a flexible manufacturing resource supporting industrial maintenance, plant modifications and capital improvement projects.

More Than Fabrication. Practical Engineering Solutions.


Working From Samples, Drawings or Site Measurements

Where original equipment components are damaged, obsolete or no longer available, our workshop can manufacture suitable replacement fabrications from supplied drawings, existing samples or site measurements.

Working from client drawings, technical specifications or site measurements, we undertake fabrication, welding and assembly operations with an emphasis on dimensional accuracy, material traceability where required and consistent workmanship.

Our workshop capabilities include carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium fabrication.

Machinery Supports & Frames

Replacement supports, frames and bases for existing machinery.

Brackets & Mounting Assemblies

Brackets, mounting assemblies and baseplates made to measured dimensions.

Replacement Fabricated Assemblies

From individual components through to complete fabricated assemblies.

Technical Review  Before Manufacture

Components affecting machinery safety or structural integrity are subject to appropriate technical review and approval before manufacture or installation.

Where repairs involve pressure-containing equipment or critical structural components, appropriate repair procedures, inspection requirements and technical approvals are established before work begins.

Where specified, our services can incorporate welding procedure documentation, material certification, traceability, inspection and non-destructive testing.

Supporting Maintenance & Shutdowns

Replacement components can be manufactured and prepared in our workshop before scheduled site work, helping reduce installation time and disruption to production.

By maximising workshop prefabrication, we aim to reduce on-site installation time, minimise disruption to operational facilities and improve the efficiency of project delivery.

Where required, AEWS can also install the replacement components as part of a wider mechanical engineering, welding or pipework package.

Discuss Your Replacement Component Requirements

Whether you need a single obsolete part replaced or a complete fabricated assembly, Anderson Engineering & Welding Services welcomes the opportunity to discuss your requirements. Existing samples, photographs, site measurements and any available drawings help us review the work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reverse Engineering

It means manufacturing a replacement part by working from the existing component, site measurements or the equipment assembly, where original drawings or specifications are unavailable.

Yes. AEWS can manufacture suitable replacement fabricated components where original parts are damaged, obsolete or no longer commercially available.

Existing samples, measured dimensions, photographs and any available drawings or specifications help us review the component and establish a suitable manufacturing approach.

This can include machinery supports, frames, brackets, mounting assemblies and other fabricated components, from individual parts through to complete fabricated assemblies.

Yes. Components affecting machinery safety or structural integrity are subject to appropriate technical review and approval before manufacture or installation.

Yes. Where required, replacement components can be installed as part of a wider mechanical engineering, welding or pipework package, including during planned maintenance or shutdown periods.
