When heavy equipment components wear out or become misaligned, precision repair is critical to restoring proper function and extending service life. At Creekside Welding & Fabrication, we offer expert line boring and bore welding services to repair and restore damaged bores and pivot points in construction, marine, agricultural, and industrial equipment. Serving Orangeburg County, Dorchester County, and surrounding South Carolina communities, we bring certified craftsmanship, advanced tooling, and mobile convenience to every job.

Mobile or In-House Service – Your Choice

All of our line boring and bore welding services are available both on-site (mobile) and in-house. Whether you need urgent field repairs or prefer to bring your components to our facility, Creekside is equipped to handle your project efficiently and professionally.

We also offer mobile support using a 100-ton hydraulic pin and bushing press, making even the toughest field jobs possible without equipment transport delays.

What Is Line Boring?

Line boring is a precision machining process used to restore damaged or worn bores back to their original specifications. It’s commonly used in pivot points, connection joints, and high-wear areas on heavy machinery. We currently service bore sizes ranging from 45mm to 300mm, accommodating a wide range of equipment and applications.

What Is Bore Welding?

Bore welding involves building up worn bore surfaces with weld material, followed by re-machining (line boring) the bore to its proper diameter. This restores both the structural integrity and proper fitment of pins, bushings, or couplers.

This process is essential for repairing wear in:

  • Heavy equipment pin bosses
  • Bucket linkages
  • Loader arms
  • Excavator joints
  • Tug boats and steel vessels
  • Equipment couplers and attachments

Additional Specialized Services

In addition to standard line boring and welding, Creekside offers the following advanced solutions:

  • Pin and bushing design and fabrication in-house
  • Pin lancing and removal for seized or damaged hardware
  • Precision hydraulic pressing with a 100-ton mobile unit
  • Fabrication and machining of replacement pins and bushings on demand

Our goal is to provide a comprehensive solution that gets your equipment back to work—accurately, efficiently, and affordably.
