Equipment Evaluation Services
Equipment Maintenance Evaluation Service:
Regular maintenance of your process equipment and the system is needed in order to ensure the safe, efficient performance of your equipment and can often prevent unexpected breakdowns, downtime, loss of production, and costly repairs. It can also extend the life of your system, sometimes saving millions of dollars in replacement costs and reduce the life cycle cost of your equipment.
Maintenance of your equipment system includes:
- A comprehensive inspection of your equipment system, including support structures and associated piping, for safety, performance, reliability, and efficiency.
- Measurement of key components, including associated process conditions – temperature and pressure, etc. to ensure they are within manufacture specifications.
- Checking overall system performance
We will let you know if additional work is needed or recommended after your scheduled maintenance inspection is complete. No additional work will be performed before your review and approval.
Repairs/Rebuilds and Replacement Service:
Upon your request for our services, we will schedule a site visit or online discussion meeting to understand your application. After exchanging information and agreeing on the scope of work, we will develop pricing and a schedule for review and approval before any work is commenced.
After our specialists evaluate the current conditions of your process equipment, including support structures and associated piping, cost-effective solutions will be provided, which can be just a need of maintenance, or repairs/rebuilds, or replacement. In many cases, the need for high-cost of replacement can be avoided by repairing/rebuilding.
If repair/rebuild is recommended as a more cost-effective solution, a repair/rebuild proposal, including a cost estimate from authorized fabricating/repairing vendors, will be provided for review/approval.
Upon the owner’s approval, the actual implementation of proposed mechanical repairs/rebuilds or replacement projects may be performed by the approved vendors and administrated by the owner, possibly with the assistance from Gulf LNG Solutions as a Project Management Consultant (PMC).
Mechanical Expert Solutions:
Our mechanical experts who have extensive knowledge and experience in mechanical engineering design, vessel fabrication, installation, repairs/rebuilds can evaluate the current conditions of your equipment system, including support structures and associated piping, for maintenance, repairs/rebuilds, or replacement. Our experts can also assess the original designs, analyze the root cause of failures, and provide improvements for designs, including the upgrade of materials of construction, to restore intended equipment safety, reliability, and efficiency, and to reduce the maintenance cost across the life cycle of your equipment.
Our work will be PE stamped, and backed by design calculations and drawings provided by our experts, and all new repairs will comply with industry codes and standards.
Our commitment is to provide you with quality services aiming to exceed your expectations.
