Lubrication Surveys that meet your bespoke requirements
Optimised lubrication is not just about putting oil in the right place. It's about ensuring that the oil is the right type, the right quantity, and the right temperature at all times.
It’s also about keeping the equipment clean and free of contaminants. Lubrication Surveys will help ensure you have optimised lubrication and the benefits that come from this. Poor lubrication is a major cause of equipment failure. In fact, studies have shown that up to 60% of all mechanical wear-related failures are caused by poor lubrication.
There are many reasons why lubrication can go wrong.
Sometimes the wrong type of oil is used. Other times, the oil is not applied correctly. And sometimes, the equipment is not kept clean. Optimised lubrication is about preventing these problems from happening. It’s about putting the right systems in place to ensure that equipment is always properly lubricated. If you want to improve the reliability and performance of your equipment, optimised lubrication is a must.
At BES Group, we have been working with our customers for decades to ensure they are optimising their lubricants. Our expert team of engineers and laboratory technicians have experience in a wide range of industries, and are highly qualified.
Ready to elevate your critical operations and ensure peak performance, reliability, and longevity for your machinery.

Our specialist service offering
Basic Assessment Service
To assess your lubrication management maturity, we’ll perform a plant walk to create a report detailing what you are doing well and what we may be able to help you do better, providing a simple look at where you are and where you could be.

Bronze Service
We can pick up where you have left off.
If your manpower is stretched to its fullest, we can enable you to free up your maintenance personnel to carry out direct maintenance, whilst we get on with stabilising the existing lubrication plan. We act as an extension to your current workforce, and continually advise you of any issues so you can make management decisions depending upon the criticality to your business needs.

Silver Service
We can carry out a full lubrication survey on site.
Using Vibration Analysis and Ultrasound technologies, we can pick up where you have already started. However, we can also help you create a continuous improvement program where we can slowly start to make improvements.
We will recommend improvements based on condition, making sure that stores are effective and the best that they can be. We will implement improvements at a gradual pace to easily integrate into your daily operations.
We’re committed to getting the job done right the first time. As part of this, we will provide you with the right personnel to drive the optimisation to completion in an efficient and timely manner. And, we’ll run lubrication activities that are based upon the needs of the asset and your business objectives.

Gold Service
We can start from the beginning.
We will do a full and expert lubrication study incorporating complementary technologies, such as oil and Vibration Analysis and Ultrasound technologies. With this, we’ll create a continuous improvement program that we can implement and use.
Our process
- Full onsite lubrication study
- Determine asset list
- Evaluate the condition of each asset
- Evaluate the condition of the lubricant in use
- Use both 2 and 3 to determine the suitability of the lubricant for the asset
- Evaluate the state of filtration and cooling systems
- Thoroughly assess current lubricant stores and fluid transfer capability and status.
- Evaluate and optimise current lubrication procedures
- Evaluate and optimise current lubrication frequencies
- Evaluate stocks and spares
- Tailored report created on our online portal (Asset Insight 365)
Platinum Service
This service includes everything in the gold service, along with a specialist wraparound management system that’s aligned to international standards.
This is to ensure it offers a fully operational lubrication management plan that meets the needs of standards, including PAS 55 – ISO 55000 – as well as the lubrication standards developed by the global lubrication industry – lubrication asset management standard ICML 55.1/55.2/55.3.
This provides a fully optimised management approach which delivers assurance. It is also an objective demonstration of compliance and ongoing optimisation, relating lubrication to maintenance, asset management and corporate governance.
