“Our team had positive things to say about working with Norbar & Boltstress. Despite a few curve balls and date changes, we successfully completed the project. The onboarding process was smooth and efficient, thanks to Norbar and Boltstress’ proactive team. It was truly a pleasure working with you all.”
“Working with Norbar for our primary and secondary mill maintenance has been a game-changer for our operations. From the moment we engaged their services, the efficiency and professionalism were evident.
For our primary mill, the entire process – from establishing permits to setting up tooling and signing off on the Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) – was completed seamlessly within just 3 hours. What impressed us the most was the swift turnaround time for re-monitoring and adjusting bolts in each position, taking our crew only 60 to 90 minutes per position. With no need for scaffolding and a meticulous approach, we achieved the desired results effectively.
Similarly, for our secondary mill, the efficiency and precision exhibited by Norbar were exemplary. The re-monitoring and adjustment of bolts in each position took a similar timeframe, ensuring thoroughness without sacrificing productivity. The fact that no scaffold was required further streamlined the process, making it hassle-free and efficient.
Overall, we couldn’t be more pleased with the results delivered by Norbar. Their expertise and dedication have significantly contributed to the smooth operation of our mills, and we look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come.”
