Commission Start-Up Service

Machinery Commissioning and Start-Up Services are essential processes that ensure that new or modified machinery is fully operational, safe, and meets the design specifications and customer requirements. The commissioning process involves a series of tests and inspections to verify that the machine is installed correctly, and all subsystems and components function as expected. Performance and functional testing are also conducted to ensure that the machine meets the required specifications. Documentation is then created to provide operating manuals, maintenance instructions, and test results for safe and efficient machine operation. The start-up service is a process of starting up the machine after commissioning, making any necessary adjustments, and providing training for operators and maintenance personnel. Commissioning and start-up services are critical to avoid costly downtime, maintenance, and repair costs, and to ensure that the machinery operates safely and reliably.

Basic / Advanced Vibration Training

Vibration analysis training is a program that teaches individuals how to use specialized equipment and techniques to detect and analyze vibrations in machinery. The training covers a range of topics including the physics of vibration, how to use vibration analysis equipment, and how to interpret the data generated by the equipment. It also covers the different types of vibration, such as axial, radial, and torsional, and how they can affect machinery performance.

Vibration analysis training typically involves hands-on exercises and case studies to help participants understand how to apply the concepts and techniques they have learned. Participants will also learn how to develop and implement a vibration analysis program, including how to identify and diagnose common machinery problems.

The goal of vibration analysis training is to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to monitor and analyze vibrations in machinery, identify potential problems before they become serious, and take appropriate corrective actions. By implementing a vibration analysis program, companies can improve equipment reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and improve safety by detecting and addressing potential problems early.

TorsionaL Analysis

Torsional analysis is a fundamental engineering process that assesses a structure or system's response to twisting forces, also known as torsion. Torsion arises from a rotational force around an object's axis, making it an integral component in the design of many mechanical and structural systems, such as turbines, drive shafts, and bridges.

Typically, engineers leverage mathematical modeling and simulation software to calculate the stress and strain that a system experiences when exposed to torsional forces. In some cases, physical testing is also conducted to validate the accuracy of these models and simulations.

Strain Survey

A vibration strain survey is a complex process that aims to assess the levels of strain and vibration in a structure or system. Engineers utilize strain gauges and accelerometers to measure vibration and strain levels in different areas of the structure or system, which helps to identify potential sources of stress or vibration. This analysis is particularly important in industries that are subject to dynamic loads, such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. The results of a vibration strain survey are essential in optimizing the design and operation of these structures and systems, enhancing their performance, and reducing the likelihood of failure or damage. By identifying and addressing areas of high stress or vibration, engineers can guarantee the safety, reliability, and efficiency of these structures and systems.

Structural dynamics

Structural dynamics is a crucial area of engineering focused on understanding how structures respond to dynamic loads. Engineers study the behavior of structures like buildings, bridges, and towers when subjected to external forces such as wind, earthquakes, and vibrations from machinery or vehicles. The analysis includes studying natural frequencies, modes of vibration, and damping, which help engineers design structures that can withstand dynamic loads while maintaining stability and integrity. The field of structural dynamics relies on mathematical models and computer simulations to predict structural responses, and it is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of structures in industries like civil engineering and aerospace.

An operating deflection shape (ODS) study is a type of vibration analysis that is used to identify the deflection shape of a structure or system under operating conditions. It involves the measurement and analysis of vibration signals in order to visualize the deflection shape of the structure or system as it responds to external forces or loads.

The purpose of an ODS study is to identify areas of the structure or system that are experiencing high levels of vibration or deflection, and to develop strategies for reducing or eliminating these vibrations. This analysis typically involves the use of sensors to measure the vibrations at various points on the structure or system, as well as mathematical modeling and simulation software to visualize and analyze the deflection shape.

Ground Bourne Vibration

Ground-borne vibration measurement entails using specialised equipment to detect and quantify vibrations caused by a variety of sources, such as construction, traffic, or blasting. Peak particle velocity (PPV), which is the maximum speed at which a point on the ground moves back and forth during the passage of a vibration wave, is the most commonly used measurement parameter. PPV is usually measured in millimetres per second (mm/s) and can be measured with a seismometer or an accelerometer placed on the ground or on the structure of interest. Other parameters that can be measured include the vibration signal's frequency, duration, and spectral content. The measurements' data can be used to assess the potential impact of the vibrations on nearby structures.
