Case Studies
Reference projects where the specification, the material selection and the verification decided the outcome — real process-valve engineering for demanding services.
Reengineering a Self-Acting Bypass That Wouldn't Close: the Tocoma Intake Maintenance-Gate Filling System
When the contracted engineering firm's mechanism failed to close the intake maintenance-gate filling valve, ITS de Venezuela — on behalf of ACD America — reengineered the self-acting counterweight system from measured torques and verified every component by calculation.
