Cascade General's machinists have extensive experience in the overhaul, repair and rebuilding of any mechanical system afloat today: diesel engines, boilers, turbines, reduction gear, cargo gear, deck machinery, condensers, gearboxes, CPPs and more. We have complete in-house ability to perform turbine, pump and valve work. We perform more bow and stern thruster installations than any other West Coast yard.

Cascade General holds unlimited ABS certification to perform shaft repair. Our staff has successfully built and installed shafts more than 60 feet (18.2 m) long, weighing 140 tons (127 tonnes).

With work boats, barges and portable on-site machinery, we are well-equipped to perform afloat repairs to cut expenses by reducing dry dock time. In fact, our yard boasts the shortest average drydocking time per project of any US West Coast shipyard.

Cascade General's machinists regularly devise innovative approaches to meeting our customers' repair needs. Our people helped pioneer the chock fast epoxy resin process (in-place epoxy casting) for stern tube bearings and rudder support systems, thereby eliminating line boring.

This practice has led to expanded applications for new materials such as the use of Teflon seals in place of carbon in IG systems which practically eliminates erosion of fan shaft seal areas. We regularly manufacture IGS fans on-site using material with outstanding durability.

No matter how big or complex the job, we have handled it.
