Industrial Field Services and On-Site Valve Repair

Our Crews Bring the Shop to Your Unit

TRIVACO field technicians repair valves, tanks, and piping inside operating plants across Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, and Tennessee. We test in line, seal leaks under pressure, calibrate new equipment at startup, and rebuild valves without pulling them when the job allows it. When a valve does have to come out, it goes to one of TRIVACO’s own certified shops.

Certifications and Factory Authorizations

TRIVACO holds National Board VR Certificates, the ASME V and UV stamps, and the National Board NB Stamp for Registration and Capacity Certification. Our Canton, GA shop holds Baker Hughes Masoneilan Authorized Repair Center status. That range lets us handle most valve work in house, documentation included.

TRIVACO is a recognized factory service center for Valvtechnologies, EIM Electric Actuators, KOEI, Kinetrol, VRC, Topworx, and Power Drives.

What Our Field Service Program Covers

Bob Sansone, our Head Engineer, runs the field service department and also oversees design and fabrication. His technicians hold plant qualification at utilities, steel producers, and municipal treatment operations across our territory.

On-Site Repair for Any Valve in Your Plant

We work on any valve type, from any manufacturer: gate, globe, ball, butterfly, plug, check, diaphragm, knife gate, control, and relief.

Our crews arrive with the tooling to disassemble, measure, lap, and reset a valve at the unit. The mobile VR trailer and lift assist mean most in-line work happens without a crane rental on your job cost. Documentation follows the same standard as bench work, so an in-line repair gives your inspector the same record a shop repair would.

If your facility runs safety relief valves, our National Board VR program covers SRV repair and set pressure verification in the shop and in the field.

Startup and Calibration on New Equipment

TRIVACO handles startup on pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic actuation, including Foundation Fieldbus and other communication protocols. Our technicians set stroke, verify positioner response, calibrate to your control system, and document the as-left condition.

Leak Repair While the Line Stays in Service

Many leaks can be sealed without a shutdown. TRIVACO applies InduMar leak repair systems to flanges, valve bodies, and piping while the line stays pressurized, which gives your team the runway to schedule a permanent fix during the next planned outage.

Tank and Pipe Repair

TRIVACO repairs tanks and piping on site through our fiberglass division, working to B31.3 standards.

Actuator Retrofits and Valve Automation

Valves and dampers routinely outlast the actuators mounted on them. TRIVACO designs and installs the replacement package on your existing body, including mounting hardware, positioners, and controls. You keep the valve. You get current actuation and a device your DCS can talk to.

We build these packages around EIM, Kinetrol, Topworx, VRC, KOEI, and Power Drives equipment, matched to your service conditions.

Send It In When It Has to Come Out

Valves that need to come out route to our shops in Hebron, Canton, or Indianapolis, where they get incoming inspection, dimensional measurement against OEM specification, machining or trim replacement, reassembly with OEM parts, and testing on calibrated equipment.

Valves pulled for replacement often measure within spec once we get them apart. Our evaluation draws on 55+ years of industrial valve experience, and most of them end in a repair instead of a replacement. Where a new unit makes better sense, however, we size and quote it from our own product lines.

Total Valve Management

TRIVACO delivers ValvTechnologies’ Total Valve Management program as an authorized service center. TVM shows which valves in your installed population are leaking and which ones are tight, so repair spend goes where you’ll see returns. A TVM engagement can run as narrow or as wide as you want it to:

Every Repair on Record in ValvKeep®

TRIVACO uploads every repair we perform into ValvKeep®, Baker Hughes’ valve asset management software. Your team logs in from any browser and sees repair history, test data, set pressures, parts used, and certification documents, organized by tag number. When an inspector asks for the last service record, you pull it up instead of reconstructing it from memory.

Field Service Questions We Get Most

What valves can TRIVACO repair on site?

Any type, from any manufacturer. Our crews handle gate, globe, ball, butterfly, plug, check, diaphragm, control, and relief valves in line, using a mobile VR trailer and lift assist for the work that needs support equipment.

Can you repair a leak without shutting down the line?

Often, yes. InduMar leak repair systems seal flanges, valve bodies, and piping while the line stays pressurized, which lets you schedule the permanent repair for a planned outage.

Does TRIVACO repair tanks and piping?

Yes. Our fiberglass division handles tank and pipe repair on site, working to B31.3 standards.

Do you handle startup and calibration on new valve packages?

Yes. We commission pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic actuation, set stroke, verify positioner response, calibrate to your control system, and document the as-left condition.

How quickly can TRIVACO respond to an outage?

[CLIENT INPUT NEEDED]

What documentation comes with a field repair?

The same record a shop repair produces: test data, parts used, set pressures where they apply, and the applicable stamp or nameplate. Records upload to ValvKeep.
