Specialist recovery for mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems.

SGR’s mechatronic and technical restoration services are designed for one purpose: to get vital equipment up and running again—safely, efficiently, and in accordance with manufacturer and industry guidelines.

We specialise in restoring equipment affected by water, smoke, fire, contamination, or corrosion. From factory automation systems to complex building services and sensitive medical gear, we apply structured recovery methods that reduce replacement costs and downtime.

What we restore:

  • Industrial control systems and PLCs

  • Motors, switchboards, and drive units

  • Robotics and CNC machines

  • Medical and scientific equipment

  • Communication and security systems

Technical approach:

  • Detailed inspection and contamination analysis

  • Stabilisation and corrosion control

  • Ultrasonic, chemical-free, or dry cleaning techniques

  • Diagnostic testing and functional verification

  • Documentation for insurers and OEMs

Our team includes technicians, engineers, and certified restoration specialists who work hand-in-hand with manufacturers, insurers and risk assessors to restore equipment to operational condition.

Our Top Frequently Asked Questions

What is mechatronic and technical restoration, and when is it necessary?

Mechatronic and technical restoration involves the assessment, repair, and reconditioning of integrated systems comprising mechanical components, electronic circuitry, sensors, actuators, control systems, and embedded software. This process becomes critical following exposure to water, fire, electrical faults, or corrosive environmental conditions. Restoration services ensure system integrity, signal accuracy, motion control precision, and overall equipment reliability. Our technicians can return machinery and automated systems to operational condition—supporting business continuity, even on a temporary basis, while awaiting the arrival of OEM replacement parts or complete assemblies from international suppliers.

How can you assist with the restoration of machinery affected by water damage?

We specialise in the restoration of machinery and equipment impacted by water ingress, whether caused by flooding, fire suppression systems, or high humidity environments. Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine the extent of contamination and corrosion across mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems.

Using precision cleaning methods—including deionised water flushing, ultrasonic cleaning, and controlled drying—we remove contaminants and moisture without causing further damage. We then carry out targeted repairs on affected components such as motors, PCBs, sensors, and wiring harnesses. Control systems and embedded electronics are tested, recalibrated, and, where necessary, reprogrammed.

Our goal is to restore functional performance, ensure compliance with safety standards, and minimise downtime. In many cases, we can return equipment to operational status quickly—even as a temporary measure—while clients await overseas parts or replacements. This approach supports business continuity and helps avoid costly interruptions to production.

What role does laser cleaning play in mechanical restoration?

Laser cleaning plays a crucial role in the restoration of mechatronic systems by offering a precise, non-abrasive, and chemical-free method of removing surface contaminants such as corrosion, soot, oil residues, and oxidation. It is especially valuable when restoring sensitive components where traditional cleaning methods may cause mechanical or thermal damage.

In mechatronic restoration, laser cleaning is commonly applied to:

  • Electrical contacts and connectors – removing corrosion without damaging surrounding insulation or microstructures.

  • Sensor housings and actuator components – restoring function without disassembly.

  • Servo motors, gear assemblies, and housings – preparing surfaces for reassembly or repainting.

  • Printed circuit boards (PCBs) – carefully stripping away carbonisation or surface contamination after fire or water damage, depending on the substrate.

The precision of laser cleaning helps maintain dimensional tolerances, avoid the introduction of moisture or solvents, and reduce the need for dismantling complex assemblies. This makes it ideal for in-situ or minimal-intervention cleaning during urgent restoration projects.

By integrating laser cleaning into the technical restoration workflow, we can reduce turnaround times, preserve equipment integrity, and help restore operational reliability to affected systems.

How quickly can you return operations following a disaster event?

Our priority is to restore business continuity as swiftly and safely as possible. We respond promptly to assess the situation, stabilise affected areas, and begin restoration efforts tailored to your equipment and operational requirements.

By prioritising critical systems and using advanced cleaning and restoration methods—such as laser cleaning, dehumidification, and component testing—we aim to minimise disruption and help you resume operations as soon as conditions allow. In some cases, temporary solutions can be implemented to restore partial functionality while longer-term repairs or replacements are arranged.

Every site and scenario is different, so we scale our response to ensure a safe, methodical return to operation with minimal downtime.
