McKenna sizes boilers for process tanks, parts washing, and building heat, builds them in its ASME code shop in Oceanside, and services McKenna boilers and other brands. McKenna crews work on military bases, including Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and Navy installations in San Diego. A live person answers (323) 987-1816 24/7.
Aerospace & Defense
Process heat and building heat.
Aerospace and defense facilities use boilers for heated process and plating tanks, parts washers, humidification, and building heat. Process work often runs to tight specifications, so temperature and pressure have to hold.
Bases and defense plants each set their own access and safety rules. We work out the paperwork and the schedule with your facilities team before the crew arrives.
What matters
What an aerospace and defense boiler room needs.
Steady process heat
Temperatures and pressures that hold for process and plating tanks.
Documentation
Inspection, test, and service records for your quality and facilities teams.
Safety program
An ISNetworld member, with OSHA 10-Hour training for every factory and field employee and OSHA 30-Hour training for management.
Uptime
Service and backup plans so production and test schedules hold.
What we do
Designed, built, and installed by McKenna.
New systems from our own shop, and service and repair on the boilers you already run, including other brands.
New boilers
Firetube, firebox, and vertical boilers built in our ASME code shop, sized to hold process tank temperatures, standard or custom to the room.
Service and repairs
Maintenance, combustion tuning, retubes, and R stamp code repairs on McKenna boilers and other brands, scheduled around production work.
Annual service contracts
Scheduled maintenance, inspections, and testing, with records your quality team can file for every visit.
24/7 emergency service
A live person answers (323) 987-1816 24/7, and an on-call technician gets to the plant as soon as possible when process tanks lose heat.
Codes and rules
Codes, records, and air rules.
Each new boiler is ASME-stamped in our shop, installed to the California Mechanical Code, and inspected for its Cal/OSHA permit to operate before it heats a process tank. Quality teams often ask for boiler records alongside tank temperature records, so McKenna keeps control and safety device test results from startup and every maintenance visit.
Aerospace plants often hold air permits for plating, coating, and process equipment, and larger boilers are permitted by the same air district. On the boiler side, McKenna supports permits and source tests and retrofits ultra-low NOx burners on boilers over their limit.
