Our Service
We are acutely aware of the demands and deadlines placed on our customers, so we are fully equipped to deliver quickly, without compromising quality, to enable projects to progress as planned.
Probe’s manufacturing and fabrication services encompass a wide range of essential products for both onshore and offshore energy operations. With in-house capabilities to assemble and test complete systems, Probe manufactures individual components for all offered systems or full equipment packages as needed from a large on-site stock of raw materials.
Our expertise extends to comprehensive aftermarket services, including in-house refurbishment, upgrades, and recertification—even for equipment not originally purchased from Probe.
Plant facilities
Operating from a purpose-built machine facility spanning over 50,000 square feet, Probe leverages state-of-the-art, large-scale machine tools operated by experienced engineers. Our expertise allows us to design and efficiently manufacture high-quality equipment for energy markets.
Our machining capabilities offer unparalleled flexibility, enabling us to develop components of any size and specification—whether for batch production or one-off items. We accommodate both new intellectual property (IP) designs and customer-specific IP. We have invested £1.8 million in cutting-edge machine tools in recent years. Our CNC plant features high-specification Mazak machinery, while our welding bays are home to automated T.I.G welding equipment and a computer-controlled furnace.
Probe’s fabrication base handles medium-sized work scopes, including pressure testing and painting. The workshop features two 16-ton overhead cranes, allowing efficient lifting of most items within the facility.
