Condition Monitoring Services
Our multi-technology Condition Monitoring Services programmes may include some or all of the following methods, which then enables a comprehensive Maintenance Strategy and Schedule of Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) to be implemented:
As a recognised leader in the field of condition monitoring service techniques, we utilise vibration analysis in a wide variety of rotating machinery applications. Potential problems such as imbalance, looseness, instability of mountings, gearbox and bearing deterioration, misalignment of couplings, and lubrication deficiency can all be easily detected. Early identification of these machine conditions reduces the chances of secondary component damage, improves reliability and therefore maintains efficiency.
Our on-site fluid sampling and advanced lab analysis enable us to monitor oil condition and contamination in addition to identifying abnormal machine wear and debris levels. Lubrication programmes can then be introduced, which will improve machine life and help save you money.
Thermal imaging has proved to be a critical element of the condition monitoring process. We utilise the latest in thermal imaging technology to provide a highly accurate indicator of emerging problems.
Electrical surveys, are used to identify high resistance joints, overloading and localised heating.
Mechanical surveys help to uncover component deterioration, friction, misalignment and temperature dependant process disorders,
Building surveys show heat loss through inadequate insulation across the building envelope and assist in the location of leaks.

Reliability Centred Maintenance
Asset Condition Assessment and Restoration
The principal objective of an Asset Assessment and Restoration programme is to bring equipment economically back to condition, with minimum disruption. During implementation, equipment is assessed and critical differences analysed. A structured process for restoring it to it's operating optimum condition is then instituted and an action plan for restoration to design condition compiled.
Reliability Centered Maintenance
The fundamental principal of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is to avoid or mitigate the consequences of failure. RCM is based on determining the balance between corrective and preventative maintenance to ensure that the equipment fulfils its intended function in its operating context. This method allows the consequences of each failure mode to be evaluated in its operating context and provides decision logic to decide on the most appropriate maintenance technique.

Equipment Criticality Analysis
Equipment Criticality Analysis / Audit
A Proviso Systems Equipment Criticality Analysis audit is the optimum method of highlighting potential failures within a production system, identifying the potential hazards associated with these failures and classifying them according to priority.
The process involves: selecting the assets requiring analysis; selecting the categories to be used ie. output, safety, repair time etc; putting each asset through the analysis process and reaching an appropriate score.
By using the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach, the appropriate maintenance requirements for individual assets can be defined.
