Hull / Global & Local Structure Vibration Diagnostic

Welcome to our comprehensive measurement services designed to address excessive vibrations and assess structural integrity effectively and affordably. At our facility, we employ cutting-edge tools and techniques to diagnose hull, global, and local structural issues, ensuring the safety and comfort of your crew.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Diagnostic Approach: We specialize in diagnosing a variety of structural problems, including excessive vibration, cracks in the hull, issues with bearings installed in the hull structure, and machinery vibration stemming from problems with foundation support or vibration dampers.
• Alignment with Industry Standards: Our diagnostic approach aligns with industry standards set by reputable organizations such as DNV, ABS, and other IACS members. We ensure that vibration levels are within acceptable limits for both structural integrity and crew comfort.
• Identification of High Vibration Zones: Through meticulous assessment, we determine if the observed vibration levels are consistent across all main engine (ME) RPM values. We pinpoint the exact RPM at which high vibration occurs, enabling owners to avoid these problematic operating conditions swiftly.
• Root Cause Analysis: Our team conducts in-depth analysis of vibration data measurements to identify the source of the problem accurately. Whether it’s a damaged propeller, issues with stern tube bearing, unbalanced forces within the ME, or resonance frequency problems, we leave no stone unturned in our investigation.
• Specialized Measurement Techniques: We utilize a diverse range of measurement techniques, including multichannel vibration measurement and strain gauge analysis, to assess and diagnose structural issues effectively. Additionally, our diesel engine analysis method provides supplementary insights in cases where additional measurements are required for precise diagnosis.

We offer unparalleled insights into structural integrity and vibration-related issues, empowering vessel owners to proactively address concerns and ensure the safety and efficiency of their operations.
