This week on The Industrial Innovator's Podcast we have got the director of business development at HydroPro, Stephen Waldron. He is on to talk all about HydroPro, story, and their extremely innovative approaches to hydraulic tube expansion for use in leak repair. It is a fantastic conversation about a fascinating technology that you will not want to miss. Visit Innovator @ Innovator.ca Visit HydroPro @ hpro.com HydroPro was established in 1997 to help advance hydraulic expansion technology, and take it from the undeveloped process that it was, and make sure it would reach its full potential. Three individuals with extensive industry experience elected to start the small company with a single focus, hydraulic tube expansion. These individuals knew that hydraulic expansion was without a doubt the best way to expand tube-to-tubesheet joints in heat exchangers, but the current companies making this technology were completely out of touch with what fabricators needed for it to be a successful process. Until that time, the primary challenge when using hydraulic expansion was a lack of consistency and reliability of the process. HydroPro corrected both issues with their patented dual Cam/Segment Assembly design and their direct pressure output power supply. Fast-forward 20 years later and the fact that HydroPro has stayed true to the original plan of improving on the technology has ensured fabricators in more than 30 countries can reliably use their equipment and tooling daily in production situations. They’ve also developed advanced solutions for on-site exchanger repair that are utilized by companies in nearly every industrial industry, including retubing, sleeving, and plugging.

Today on the Industrial Innovators Podcast, we have a special bonus episode as I talk about The Turnaround Optimizer Process and the book I recently wrote about it. Too often turnaround services run over budget, with inspection standards missed, paperwork not submitted, and hours of valuable personnel time wasted due to lack of preparation. The Turnaround Optimizer Process helps streamline your planning, utilize the right equipment, correctly staff projects, all while improving safety and reducing labour costs. At Innovator, we've had fantastic success sharing and implementing this process with companies over the last 25 years. It's great to see the results they've had, and I'm excited to share the ideas with you in this episode. If you are in the industrial turnaround space, this is one not to miss.
