Down Time Services

What Down Time Services does

Down Time Services is a privately held U.S. industrial services company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Agua Dulce, Texas, near Corpus Christi. The company specializes in on-site field machining and related precision industrial services that bring shop capabilities directly to customer facilities, with the stated objective of reducing equipment downtime and eliminating costly disassembly. Its primary verticals include oil & gas (onshore and offshore), refining, power generation, manufacturing, chemical/petrochemical, marine, construction, and military customers across the United States and internationally.

The company's service portfolio comprises five core offerings: Field Machining (line boring, flange facing, milling, critical component repair), Shop Machining (high-tolerance fabrication and rebuilding in a fully equipped machine shop), Metrology (alignment, inspection, and measurement using advanced optical tools and 3D systems with accuracy within thousandths of an inch), Machinery Installation & Grouting (setting, leveling, precision grouting, alignment), and Concrete Cutting (core drilling, slab cutting, selective demolition). The technology base is physical rather than digital: a large inventory of portable field machinery plus a 40,000+ square foot combined shop facility, supplemented by proximity to a privately owned airport with a 3,000 ft paved runway that enables rapid worldwide deployment of technicians and equipment.

Down Time Services operates a project-based professional services revenue model with custom quotes per engagement. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with customers initiating contact through a 24/7 phone line (1-800-900-1256), website contact forms, or direct outreach. Marketing is limited to the company website and industry reputation. The firm is independently owned with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, institutional investors, or public-market listing, and certifications include ISNetworld and OSHA compliance.
