​EGI H.E.L.P. Solutions was created in the beginning of 2015 with a mindset of carrying forward the same core business cove-nants of our parent company while applying them to technologies and methods centric to hydraulic expansion technology.
While hydraulic expansion has been implemented in the nu-clear industry for nearly 40 years it has seen limited success in commercial markets. Our goal is to apply our experience and knowledge to these technologies through refining processes, im-proving designs, technical support, on-hand inventory, and lead-times conducive to the refining and petrochemical environments. We intend to make hydraulic expansion a feasible avenue tai-lored to our industry not just adopted from another one. Give us a call today and let us show you how a little know how goes a long way!
