Projects

Large and Precise! Building machines and structures that are large but require precision is always challenging. This is exactly where our expertise is. We have designed and built movable structures weighing a few thousand tons, and we have worked on systems that deliver precision in microns, or nanometers. These systems include large moving structures, roller coasters, robotic amusement rides and precision telescopes.

Design and Build and Cost Effective! Engineering design is only the first step towards a great working machine or structure. Our team consists of not only engineers, but also manufacturing specialists with decades of experience in precision fabrication, machining, assembly, and installation. We build precision structures, telescopes, and even roller coaster tracks with complex geometry. We design, not only for superb performance, but also for effective manufacturing. This leads to cost effective solutions.

We are passionate at taking your innovative ideas (or even a sketch on a napkin) through comprehensive engineering, and turning it into a great working system.
