Compressed Air
Compressed air is probably your most expensive utility after electricity. It's also the most neglected. We handle compressor maintenance, leak detection, air quality testing, and system audits.
Service Scan
If the compressor is making 125 PSI but the tool only sees 90 PSI, the fix may be distribution, not a bigger compressor.
Calgary winter makeup air can overload dryers, freeze outdoor air lines, corrode piping, and make pneumatic actuators behave erratically.
Separator carryover coats FRL assemblies, clogs solenoid valves, and can create product-quality problems at the point of use.
We walk the distribution piping, tag leaks, and turn the air system into a tracked preventive maintenance asset.
Work Scope
Oil condition, filter differential pressure, separator performance, discharge temperature, operating hours, belts, couplings, motors, drives, and receiver tanks.
Refrigerated and desiccant dryer maintenance, dewpoint readings, filter condition, drain operation, oil, water, and particulate checks.
Leak surveys, pressure mapping, dead legs, undersized piping, drain traps, and pressure drop from compressor room to point of use.
Festo valve terminals, Festo FRL assemblies, SMC cylinders, solenoid valves, and erratic actuator operation downstream of the compressor.
We currently monitor Atlas Copco compressed air systems at a Balzac manufacturing facility by actual operating hours. At a food production facility, we identified a Festo MS6-series FRL assembly leak from the drain O-ring by reading the nameplate and cross-referencing the wearing parts kit.
Record oil condition, separator behaviour, dryer readings, leak tags, and point-of-use findings.
Order the right wearing parts before the next PM visit, not after an emergency callout.
What we learn about one Atlas Copco system or Festo assembly speeds diagnosis at the next facility.
Compressed air maintenance does not stop at the compressor room. It overlaps the same industrial millwright scope that covers bearings, drives, hydraulics, and the pneumatic components doing the work.

Common Questions
More than most people think. A single leak you can hear from a few feet away is wasting real money in electricity every month. Most facilities have several. We walk the distribution piping and tag every leak we find — you'd be surprised how many go unnoticed in a noisy plant.
Depends on the compressor type and your operating conditions. We check oil condition, filter differential pressure, and separator performance — then tell you what's actually due based on what we find, not just what the calendar says. Dusty or hot environments shorten every interval.
We service most major compressor brands — currently maintaining Atlas Copco systems at a client facility. We also service downstream pneumatic components — Festo valve terminals and FRL assemblies, SMC cylinders — at facilities across Calgary. Warranty-covered equipment we coordinate with authorized dealers. Out-of-warranty we handle the full scope: oil changes, filter replacement, mechanical repairs.
Yes. Compressed air maintenance doesn't stop at the compressor room. We service Festo valve terminals and SMC pneumatic cylinders at a NE Calgary distribution facility, and Festo FRL assemblies at a SE Calgary bottling plant. A pressure drop or moisture issue at the compressor shows up as erratic operation at the point of use — we trace problems from the actuator back to the source, not the other way around.
Air System Audit
We'll check your compressor room, test your dryers, and find the leaks. Most audits pay for themselves in the first month.
