boiler shop (plural boiler shops)

  1. A workshop where steam boilers are constructed, overhauled or repaired.
    • 1961 March, C. P. Boocock, “The organisation of Eastleigh Locomotive Works”, in Trains Illustrated, pages 162, 163:
      [p162] Eastleigh Locomotive Works: Layout and functions of shops [...] Boiler Shop: Overhaul and testing of boilers, manufacture of light plate details, tender plating.
      [p162] It may seem incongruous that a locomotive works should build landing craft and refuelling barges, but this type of work did not prove so difficult for a well-equipped boiler shop.
      [p163] The boiler shop welders, whose skill is of an extremely high standard, are trained [...] at the welding school close by the laboratory in the main works building.
