Methodology

How every job actually gets done.

A written process, followed the same way every time. This is what turns "we sent a technician" into "we produced an engineering result." Here's exactly what happens when you work with us.

Phase 01 · Intake

First contact and technical intake

You describe the machine, the operating context and the symptom. We ask targeted questions — running speed, driver type, last known maintenance, alarm history — to build a picture before anyone leaves the office. Wherever possible, we form a preliminary hypothesis at this stage. It saves time on site.

Phase 02 · Scoping

Scope definition and proposal

Based on the intake we send a written scope of work: what we will measure, what we will do, what instruments we will use, what we will not do, timeline, deliverables and price. Nothing starts until this document is agreed. It protects both sides.

Phase 03 · Mobilisation

Team mobilisation and safety induction

We arrive with calibrated instruments, spare parts pre-staged where possible, and the correct PPE for your site. Every technician completes your safety induction before touching a machine. Permits-to-work, LOTO procedures and hot-work permits are followed exactly as your safety department requires.

Phase 04 · Measurement

Baseline measurement

Before we change anything, we measure everything. Vibration signatures, temperatures, alignment status, oil condition, insulation resistance where relevant. These "before" measurements become the reference against which every corrective action is judged.

Phase 05 · Diagnosis

Engineering diagnosis

Our senior engineer reviews the measurement data and produces a written diagnosis: what is happening, why it is happening, and what the recommended corrective action is. If findings materially change the scope or price, we stop and confirm with you in writing before continuing.

Phase 06 · Intervention

Corrective work

Alignment, balancing, bearing replacement, seal service, overhaul — whatever the scope requires, executed to written procedures with intermediate measurements recorded at each step. If something unexpected is discovered mid-job, we document it, photograph it and communicate before proceeding.

Phase 07 · Verification

Post-intervention verification

The machine is run under normal operating conditions and re-measured. Alignment is verified in operating condition, vibration signatures are re-captured, temperatures are checked. The "after" measurements are compared to the "before" and to the applicable ISO or OEM tolerances.

Phase 08 · Handover

Documented handover

You receive a full engineering report: scope executed, findings, measurements before and after, corrective actions taken, parts replaced with part numbers, recommendations for future maintenance, and a signed sign-off. Nothing verbal, nothing implied.

Phase 09 · Aftercare

Follow-up and warranty

We check in one, three and six months after the intervention. If anything about the machine's behaviour changes in that window, we treat it as a warranty case and return at no charge to investigate. Long-term relationships are built on being the team that picks up the phone six months later.

Non-negotiable

Four rules we never break.

1. Measure first, act second

We never touch a wrench before we take a baseline reading. Without a "before" measurement, "after" means nothing.

2. Written scope, or no work

Every job starts with an agreed written scope. Verbal expansions are documented and countersigned before they happen.

3. Standards, always

Every finding is mapped to an ISO or API reference. If we can't reference a standard, we explain why and document the engineering judgement.

4. Bad news, delivered honestly

If we find a problem that changes the story, we tell you immediately. No burying issues in a final report.
