Rotating Machinery
Pumps, compressors and turbines are where production lives or dies. We keep them running — and tell you exactly why when they don't.
Rotating equipment concentrates risk: a single machine trip can take out an entire train, and repeated failures on 'bad actor' machines quietly consume maintenance budgets year after year. Managing them well takes more than monitoring — it takes diagnostics, root cause discipline and machinery engineering judgment.
BeamsConsult designs and runs condition monitoring programs, performs vibration analysis and machinery diagnostics, leads root cause failure analyses, and builds the reliability improvement plans that turn your worst machines into your quietest ones.
What We Deliver
- Condition monitoring program design and optimization (API 670 protection, portable and online CM)
- Vibration analysis and machinery diagnostics (ISO 10816/20816 assessment)
- Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) for chronic and major machinery failures
- Bad actor identification and elimination programs
- Machinery criticality assessment and sparing strategy
- Lubrication management programs and oil analysis interpretation
- Machinery support at turnarounds, overhauls and commissioning (API 686)
- Performance monitoring for compressors and pumps (curves, efficiency, surge margins)
Our Approach
- Rank the machinesCriticality assessment across the rotating fleet to focus monitoring investment.
- Monitor the right thingsCM techniques and intervals matched to failure modes — not applied uniformly.
- Diagnose, don't guessVibration, thermography, oil and performance data combined into a machine-health verdict.
- Kill the root causeRCFA with lasting corrective actions, tracked to closure and verified in the data.
