Work History

Documented large-bore diesel work across commercial vessels, Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers, and industrial power generation.

Coast Guard Icebreaker · 1 MaK 453, 16-Cylinder

CCGS Louis St. Laurent

Major overhaul on one of the ship's five main engines at the Coast Guard Base in Dartmouth. Removed the crankshaft and bedplate and installed new ones, cutting a large access panel into the vessel's side to lift the engine components through. Reassembled to manufacturer's specifications.

Coast Guard Icebreaker · 1 Fairbanks Morse Opposed Piston, 8-Cylinder 38D8 1/8

CCGS Polar Prince

Flew servicemen, tools, and equipment to St. John's, Newfoundland to overhaul 2 of the vessel's 4 main engines, all 4 front ends, and all 4 blowers. Parts were reconditioned at the Belnan plant and reassembled to manufacturer's specifications before sea trial.

Coast Guard Icebreaker · 1 ALCO 251, 16-Cylinder

CCGS Edward Cornwallis

Removed the crankshaft, installed a new one, and rotated the engine block 180 degrees on 1 of 3 main engines for inspection access. Designed and built a custom engine rotator, tested and approved by a third-party engineering firm, allowing the work to be completed with no grinding, burning, or welding in the engine room.

Coast Guard Icebreaker · 1 ALCO 251, 16-Cylinder

CCGS Sir William Alexander

Removed the crankshaft and rotated the engine block 180 degrees on 1 of 3 main engines to accommodate align boring, using the same custom-built, third-party-approved engine rotator. Reassembled to manufacturer's specifications and sea trialed.

Coast Guard Icebreaker · 1 ALCO 251, 16-Cylinder

CCGS Des Groseilliers

Removed the crankshaft, rotated the engine block 180 degrees, had it align bored, and installed a new crankshaft on 1 of 5 main engines in Quebec City. Same custom engine-rotator solution used to avoid grinding, burning, or welding in the engine room.

Commercial Marine · MAN 58/64 & Other Models

MAN Diesel

Top-end and lower-end overhauls on MAN's 58/64 engine model, plus major overhauls across other MAN engine lines, including crankshaft and block replacements. Work completed across Canada, the United States, and South America, with parts reconditioned on-site or at the Belnan plant.

Commercial Marine · 1 MAN B&W 8L 32/40

Stadt Hannover

Flew servicemen, tools, and equipment to Freeport, Grand Bahamas to remove and replace the main engine's crankshaft. Cut a large access panel into the top of the vessel to lift the complete engine out for on-site reconditioning, then lifted it back in and sea trialed.

Commercial Marine · 2 Fairbanks Morse Opposed Piston 10-Cyl. + 2 Detroit Diesel 8V92

MV Quest

Major overhauls on both main engines, a full rebuild of both ship's service generator engines, and removal of both main engine blowers and the port engine's upper and lower crankshafts. All components reconditioned or replaced at the Belnan plant and reassembled to manufacturer's specifications.

Commercial Marine · 2 MTU Series 2000, 12-Cylinder

Strait Eagle

Removed both main engines at Port Hawkesbury, NS, reconditioned all major components at the Belnan plant, then reassembled, reinstalled, and sea trialed.

Commercial Marine (Oil Support Rig) · 5 Wärtsilä/NOHAB F30, 16-Cylinder

Chemul

Disassembled major components and crankshafts across all 5 main diesel generators aboard an oil support rig at Woodside Industries — including 80 cylinder heads, 80 liners and pistons, the complete fuel system, and all engine-driven pumps. Designed and manufactured steel chocks to correct misalignment across all 5 engine rafts, replaced one crankshaft in-situ, and had the engines professionally repainted before sea trial.

Commercial Marine (Tug) · 4 Caterpillar D343 + 2 Caterpillar 3304

Firebird

Removed both main engines and clutches, both ship's service generators, and both fire pump engines at the Halifax Dockyard. Reconditioned all components at the Belnan plant and reassembled to manufacturer's specifications.

Commercial Marine · 2 Ruston 6AP3 + 2 Detroit Diesel Inline 6-71 & Voith Turbo Coupling

Glenside · Glenbrook · Glenevis

Removed all major engine components from both main engines (leaving blocks and crankshafts in place), rebuilt both ship's service generators, and removed both turbo couplings at the Halifax Dockyard. Reconditioned and reassembled to manufacturer's specifications.

Industrial · 2 Dorman 12 QBTCA Generators

Maritime Electric Power Station

Major overhauls on both power-plant generator engines in Charlottetown, PEI. Disassembled on-site, reconditioned all parts and major components at the Belnan plant, and reassembled and tested to manufacturer's specifications.

Commercial Marine · 2 Deutz SBV12M628

Ocean Foxtrot

Major overhauls on both main engines in Quebec City. Disassembled both engines and transported all parts and major components to the Belnan plant for reconditioning, then reassembled to manufacturer's specifications and sea trialed.
