Facts
- HECO utilizes the latest technologies throughout the entire production process – from the initial design to the finished piece. Our in-house engineering team uses the latest CAD systems to ensure proper fit and compatibility long before the production process begins.
- Once the production process has started, the precise, 4000 watt CL-707 laser cutting system reduces the need for splicing sheets together, creating fewer seams and a more accurate, higher quality piece of equipment.
- A high-powered iron phosphate wash removes scaling and dirt before the final paint process in an environmentally friendly down-draft paint booth. This type of paint booth provides a consistent finish while the bake oven cures the paint at 180 degrees, ensuring durability and long life.
- All HECO welders have completed the American Welder’s Society (AWS) Weld Certification and Weld Quality program and the entire company regularly participates in safety training, regardless of their position.
