Damage Investigations
Machinery failures can occur unexpectedly at any stage of operation, regardless of the machine’s size or purpose. According to insurance industry data, the probability of a catastrophic machinery loss exceeds 1% annually for each operating unit, making proactive investigation and monitoring essential for every industrial operation.
When an operational problem or damage does take place, it is crucial to identify the root cause as early as possible. This ensures that additional damage is prevented, future failures are avoided, and repair strategies can be optimized. A thorough damage investigation not only benefits the machine operators but also supports the interests of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), insurance companies, and third-party service providers such as packagers and overhaul contractors.
Turbo Monitoring specializes in independent machinery damage investigation services designed to identify and analyze mechanical faults in turbomachinery. Our team of skilled engineers combines deep technical knowledge with hands-on diagnostic experience, allowing us to deliver reliable findings based on advanced monitoring techniques and data analysis.
We focus on both live operational diagnostics — detecting real-time irregularities during machine operation — and post-damage assessments, which analyze the condition of the machinery after a fault or failure has occurred. This dual approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the incident and enables clients to make informed decisions regarding repair, maintenance, or system redesign.
Typical Damage Investigations Include:
High Vibration and Unbalance Issues
Shaft Cracks and Torsional Failures
Foundation Settlements or Structural Changes
Blade Fractures and Material Fatigue
Shaft Bending, Rubbing, and Alignment Problems
Component Resonance and Modal Analysis
Gearbox Irregularities and Transmission Errors
Overhaul & Maintenance Defects
Bearing Instability and Lubrication Failures
