Condition Monitoring
Our partnership with a leading UK ferries operator
Overview
Whilst conducting routine vibration data analysis our highly trained and experienced analysis team identified a considerable increase in vibration amplitudes across the main engine lubrication oil pump.
Performing unnecessary maintenance can lead to wasted labour hours and spare parts. Planned maintenance can lead to maintenance-induced failure.
The challenge
Reviewing all Condition Monitoring (CM) information prior to intrusive maintenance work can mitigate the decision to defer the task.
However this process requires education and confidence in the CM data being recorded.
The solution
Continual on job training and education must be a priority to gain maximum benefit of introducing a Condition Based Maintenance strategy.
The result
Scheduled planned maintenance is not always required due to the actual functioning condition of the machinery.
Condition Monitoring can identify early onset of machinery failure.
Importance of gaining Classification Society MPMS (CM) notation – the planned maintenance activity could be replaced by CBM, so maintenance would only take place when the condition of the machinery dictates.
Key outcomes
Maintenance strategy implemented.
Onset of machinery detection through Condition Monitoring.
Minimised risk for our customers and their people.
