Mechanical Installation

Installation of mechanical equipment — positioning, grouting, alignment, coupling and commissioning support — with alignment verified and recorded rather than eyeballed.

02  /  OVERVIEW

What this service is for

Installation determines how long the machine lasts. Soft foot, poor alignment and pipe strain destroy bearings and seals long before the equipment itself is at fault.

We check and record the conditions that shorten equipment life, and correct them before the machine is handed over running.

03  /  SCOPE

What is included

  • Equipment setting, levelling and grouting
  • Shaft alignment and soft foot correction
  • Coupling installation and pipe strain checks
  • Baseplate and foundation preparation
  • Commissioning support and handover testing

04  /  APPROACH

How we run it

Verification

Alignment is recorded

Final alignment figures are recorded and handed over, so the baseline exists when the machine is next opened.

Life

Installed to last

Pipe strain and soft foot are corrected at installation, not diagnosed after the first bearing failure.

05  /  DELIVERY

The sequence this runs to

The depth changes with the size of the job. The sequence does not.

Assessment

Site attendance, condition survey and failure analysis. We establish what the equipment is actually doing before anyone proposes a fix.

Engineering

Technical solution defined against the operating envelope — loads, tolerances, materials and access constraints.

Planning

Method statement, risk assessment, parts, tooling and manning scheduled against your shutdown window.

Execution

Work carried out by mechanical technicians under a written procedure, with hold points recorded as they are passed.

Installation

Components installed to the written method — alignment, clearances and torque set against the drawing, with hold points signed as they are passed.

Commissioning

Controlled start-up and function checks under operating conditions, before the asset is declared ready.

Testing

Function testing, alignment verification and performance checks before the asset is handed back.

Handover

Documented completion — what was found, what was done, what was replaced, and what to watch.
