Tencarva moves into new Nashville location
Tencarva Machinery Company has moved its Nashville brach and the Southern Sales division into a new Nashville facility.
The two-acre site features a state-of-the-art repair service center, office space and a training facility and storage.
“Our new office/service facility is the culmination of a vision that began years ago as Tencarva became heavily engaged in pump repair activity doing both field work and inside shop work. It epitomizes our desire to place our customer first when it comes to the quality environment in which the work is done and, as important, putting in place the necessary equipment so our valued employees have a bright and safe working environment in which to repair our customer’s equipment,“ said Don Wirth, vice president.
The Tencarva team from both divisions totals 30 employees.
The major portion of the service area serves as a repair facility for the firm's municipal and industrial customers. It includes two five-ton overhead cranes and seven one-ton capacity, column- mounted jib cranes for lifting heavy equipment.
A 24-foot by 40-foot training area allows staff to perform customer training activities not possible in the previous facility. These customer seminars feature technical product education, as well as equipment maintenance and repair.
An air-filtered “clean room” with its own climate controlled system ensures that no airborne foreign matter jeopardizes the quality of the bearings during reassembly of pump bearing frames.
The building also features a 15-foot by 24-foot by 8-foot deep test pit to run performance tests on both submersible and vertical turbine pumps.
