On-Site Welding -- In the case above, MBI was called in to reinforce a structural tower that was in danger of collapse. MBI added vertical I-beams and welded them inplace to reinforced the structure.
On-site Equipment Installation and Refurbishment
In some cases Melcher Brothers will work at sites doing equipment installation and repair. Using our Durango plant, we can fabricate equipment in the shop, disassemble as needed and reassembly at remote sites.
Mine Conversion -- In the case of the "Old One Hundred" mine near Silverton, Colorado MBI did much of the work to convert the historic mine into a tourist mine including construction of a gift shop, bathrooms, and shop building. MBI also renovated mine locomotives and build "reproduction" passenger cars.
