Project Outline
Over the years, Alloy Casting in North America has earned a reputation for their high standards of quality by working to CSAZ299.3 and ASME quality programs. The company is now pursuing the ISO 9002 quality program to further enhance Alloy Casting's ability to produce outstanding quality castings. To meet customer specifications, every stage of the process is fully calibrated, monitored, and controlled. This inhouse capability enables experienced technicians to enhance the mechanical and corrosion resistance of your alloys.
An audit was conducted by Eco-Shift Power Corp. which confirmed that the existing lighting levels had significantly degraded due to the inefficiencies of their old HID lighting system. The analysis also showed that a retrofit for the Production and Grinding area's with a fluorescent T8 or T5 technology would not provide the light levels they required. As a result, Alloy Casting Industries Ltd. decided to invest in an alternative lighting solution based on ESP's final report.
