Capability
Precision machining for all types of componentry
ITC’s machining capability includes state-of-the-art XYZ 3D milling and lathe machines, able to handle up to 800kg block and 3m x 160mm spindles.
ITC can machine to your design, or the design team can draft solutions to meet your requirements. Components are produced new to an approved drawing, or remanufactured to sample where the original drawing no longer exists.
Machining sits alongside ITC’s design and fabrication teams rather than working in isolation, which means a component can move from CAD drawing to finished part without leaving the building. That has supported work from precision components for subsea control panels through to parts for ITC’s own rental fleet of HPUs and reelers.
All machining work is controlled through ITC’s DNV-GL certified ISO Quality, Health & Safety and Environmental management system, whether the job is a one-off replacement part or a full production run to an approved drawing.

What ITC machines
Components ITC turns and mills
New parts to an approved drawing, or refurbished components made to sample when the original drawing has gone.
Precision components
Parts produced to drawing in stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminium.
Turning
Lathe work on XYZ ProTurn machines, taking up to 3m x 160mm spindles.
Milling
3D CNC milling on XYZ ProTrack machines, taking blocks up to 800kg.
Programming and setting
Time served machinists programme, set and operate every machine in the shop.
Parts for ITC’s own builds
Components for the skid packages ITC designs, fabricates and assembles in-house.
Parts for the rental fleet
Components for ITC’s own HPUs and reelers, so hire equipment is not held up.

Proof
Case study · In-House Fabrication and Machining
Parts remade in-house, schedule kept
An international oilfield equipment supply company contracted ITC for the assembly and test of a number of new design control panels, on an ambitious delivery schedule to a Tier 1 service company at several global locations. There was very limited slack for rework on a new and untested design, and, as is normal, a number of component manufacturing and interference fit issues appeared.
ITC worked a staggered parallel assembly schedule across the skids. As issues were encountered they were documented and a solution identified by ITC’s engineering group, communicated back to the client for approval, and the modifications or new parts then made in-house by ITC’s fabrication and machining division. That allowed prompt modifications and alternative parts without any significant impact on the delivery schedule, and the revisions were documented and fed back to the equipment manufacturer so their drawings could be updated for future manufacture.
All of the new design build skids were successfully assembled and fully function tested within the required schedule and delivered on time to the Tier 1 provider.
There is no doubt that ability to make the necessary changes in house allowed this project to stay on track. The quality of the finished product was excellent.Project lead, In-House Fabrication and Machining project
Accreditation
ITC has been an ISO 9001 accredited company since 2012. In 2018 ITC passed UKAS accreditation by DNV-GL for its Integrated Management System, covering Quality (ISO 9001:2015), Environment (ISO 14001:2015) and Health & Safety (ISO 45001). All machining work is controlled through that system, whether the job is a one-off replacement part or a full production run to an approved drawing.
Sectors
Machining for every sector ITC serves
ITC has worked across North East Scotland and globally, designing and building new equipment, repairing and refurbishing, and supplying parts.
Common questions
Machining questions, answered
What size of part can ITC machine?
ITC’s XYZ 3D milling and lathe machines handle up to 800kg block and 3m x 160mm spindles, with a 5T overhead crane in the machine shop.
What materials can ITC machine?
Stainless steel, structural carbon steel and aluminium, along with other materials to drawing.
Can ITC machine from a sample rather than a drawing?
Yes. ITC produces new and refurbished components to sample or to drawing, which matters when the original drawing no longer exists.
Does ITC take one-off parts as well as production runs?
Both. The same quality system covers a one-off replacement part and a full production run to an approved drawing.
What quality control applies to machined parts?
All machining work is controlled through ITC’s DNV-GL certified ISO Quality, Health and Safety and Environmental management system.
Is our design protected?
Yes. IP protection is part of how ITC handles client drawings and designs.
