“Maximising your Assets”

 

You may be a port authority or operator, a shipbuilder or ship repairer, managing waterways or operating a ferry company. Whatever the challenges you face, the unique atmosphere of salt (or fresh water), steel structures and different materials to be stored or transported lead to a risk of corrosion and potential for failures that could have disastrous consequences.

 

From time to time, failures occur, and the process of understanding them is integral to preventing recurrence in the future. While we undertake statutory inspections of lifting equipment for clients, we also work with them to monitor condition of business critical assets on an ongoing basis, enabling prevention of failures and reducing the risk of potentially dangerous or costly occurrences.

“Minimising your Risk”

 

Once the condition of critical assets is known, then we can assist clients in the proactive and preventative maintenance and monitoring, through a systematic process of inspecting, testing, repairing and making recommendations on replacement (in terms of design and timing). Our unique expertise in the fields of inspection, materials and mechanical engineering enables our clients to understand the condition of their plant and equipment at any moment in time, and manage the identified risks accordingly.

 

Our expertise has helped operators in the material design of turbines, in explaining lock gate failures, in assessing the condition and working life of infrastructure and many other areas.

 

To understand more, the following pages cover our services for the sectors in more details.

  1. Bulk storage – from storing fuels and oils, to hazardous chemicals, bulk foodstuffs or abrasive dry materials, tanks come under unseen stress and strain, and benefit from regular inspection.
  2. Ports, waterways and marine – corrosion, fatigue and stress due to handling heavy loads can cause potential failure in lifting equipment, turbines, engines, lock gates and many other items. We help clients anticipate the problems and therefore avoid costly downtime.
