ABOUT BOILER & MACHINERY ENGINEERING

The unexpected loss of critical production machinery, utilities and electrical equipment can cripple or significantly reduce plant operations or product quality. B&M Engineering measures the risk and exposure by evaluating critical path assets, Preventive/Predictive maintenance programs, as well as spare parts and contingency plans. The aim of B&M Engineering is to prevent incipient “issues” from turning into real problems that could result in an asset and production loss. B&M Engineering helps Operations and Maintenance people to refocus and better consider the possibilities for Low Frequency High Impact events. Boiler Machinery Risk Consultants are able to measure the risks and exposures, then provide recommendations to mitigate or control the risks and exposures.

TÜV SÜD GRC HELPS YOU AVERT EQUIPMENT FAILURES WHILE INCREASING OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

Our services enable your organization to achieve its specific loss prevention goals and objectives for your critical equipment including boilers, deaerators, pressure equipment and more. We support you in developing action plans to control losses and avoid breakdowns, while enabling you to identify, track and trend specific concerns. In addition to concentrating your resources on critical needs, we identify ways to improve operational efficiencies.

WHAT'S INVOLVED IN B&M ENGINEERING

• RISK ASSESSMENT / LOSS CONTROL ANALYSIS

We analyze facilities production, process operations and utility systems to identify and quantify loss exposures. For every site visit, we deliver a loss prevention report with loss estimates and underwriting information.

• COMPLETE EVALUATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT OF RISK-BASED PROGRAMMES

We provide on-site evaluation of preventive and predictive maintenance programs (such as vibration monitoring, infrared imagery, mechanical and dielectric oil analyses’ programs, etc.). We also provide on-site evaluations of critical (bottleneck) utility equipment (electrical, cooling and refrigeration, natural gas supplies, etc.), spare part management programs, contingency plans, etc.

• MECHANICAL INTEGRITY AND CODE COMPLIANCE EVALUATIONS

We support your needs with a combination of specialized loss control engineers and our jurisdictional services group. Our experts implement industry-specific Mechanical Integrity programmes and assist with O.S.H.A. “Process Safety” requirements.

• PRESSURE VESSEL INSPECTION AND REPAIR ASSESSMENTS

Our B&M Engineering programme concentrates on the preventive/predictive aspects of pressure vessels and evaluation of original thickness and operating criteria, nondestructive test methods, frequency of inspection, results and operating life expectancy. Mechanical Integrity and code compliance are additional services that we have the capacity to offer.
