Field Services

The goal of our Field Service Group Division is to meet your project requirements in a timely and cost competitive manner while assuring compliance to safety and quality standards.

To attain this goal we have eight supervisors with over 180 years of combined experience in continuous digester equipment maintenance plus countless years of general construction experience. These supervisors bring with them crews that are unique in that they work exclusively on the repair, maintenance and installation of pulp and paper equipment and vessels. Our supervisors and crews appreciate and understand your expectations and take considerable pride in exceeding them. Miller’s field crews and tool trailers are available to equip your shutdown, maintenance project, or emergency. Many locations can be activated quickly from our service locations in Glens Falls, New York and Brookhaven, Mississippi.

We maintain ASME and NBIC Code Stamps for fabrication and repair of vessels. Field welders are skilled to our code qualified weld procedures and can perform weld repairs, weld build-up, and weld overlay on ASME pressure vessels as required. Miller Mechanical Services, Inc. has a service proven overlay system that along with our experienced supervisors and crews, can cut your downtime and costs on vessel shell build-up, weld overlay, and future maintenance.
