Machine Shop Services
Centrifugal water pumps are designed with the understanding that future repair and rebuilding will be necessary down the road. That is why it is critical for any dedicated pump repair shop to have a complete in-house precision machine shop for the maintenance and repair of pump components.
Our machine shop is capable of repairing and manufacturing new pump parts and pump components in cast iron, steel, bronze, and stainless steel. We also manufacture new pumps in-house, up to 1,750 HP in a variety of materials including all stainless steel.
Nickerson Company frequently provides new parts in upgraded materials for greater durability, reliability, and longer run times. In addition, we can modify and retrofit pumps for new or revised applications.
