Testimonials

BES Asset Reliability has broken the old cycle of oil sampling where we get an inadequate result but do nothing to improve conditions, then resample at the next schedule hoping the issue has been resolved. Now when we sample, we react appropriately and are starting to see the improvements that a managed approach can deliver.

I have been working with British Engineering Services Asset Reliability for around 14 years now. Their engineers come on site to gather the data and if they identify a problem, they will bring it to my attention straight away, rather than going away, analysing the data and then telling me 3 or 4 weeks later. They know how to help fix a problem.

Their strengths are their staff quality and turnaround times. They have people that really do know what they are talking about. Jade for example (Lab Manager) was a complete revelation. As a result of their performance, we have been successful in implementing their services into other sites.

Their main strength is accessibility. If I need something, I know that I can get to them really quickly. They are really responsive. Also, whenever we have a problem, they are extremely helpful in trying to find the root cause of the problem rather than just saying ‘we only handle your vibration’ or ‘we only conduct your oil analysis’.

When the unit fails, they are concise and descriptive. They will talk to the fitters that put the equipment together. The engineer that comes in and makes the analysis will relay what he feels is not right or the root causes of the failure. They are very directive as to what corrective actions are required.

How We Do It

If you are just getting started with CBM, we can support you to identify your most production critical assets and their failure modes, taking into consideration your reliability goals, budget and preferred methods of maintenance to build an Equipment Maintenance Plan (EPM) that is bespoke to your requirements.

If you already deploy CBM on your machines, we can review your existing programme to make sure you are getting the most from it and have enough lead time to fix problems in the most cost-effective way.

The very first step is for our team of reliability consultants to work with you to identify which assets to monitor. We do this by reviewing your existing EPM to ensure the right resources are deployed on the right assets at the right time.

We will attend your site and perform a site scope to build an asset list (if you don’t have one already) to highlight your most critical assets and agree on monitoring methods, maintenance tasks, failure modes, etc.

We will carry out an initial baseline survey in conjunction with your team. We will also make sure all members of your maintenance team understand the different types of CBM technologies and the role they play.

Your maintenance strategy is constantly evolving, which is why we will always have a strong focus on continuous improvement. We will regularly review your CBM strategy to make sure you are achieving the best possible return on your investment.

We will highlight conditional data anomalies, making recommendations and uploading our multi-technology report to our web-based reporting platform, OMEGA. This will enable you to make data-driven decisions and schedule corrective action.

Using a multi-technology approach, our attending reliability engineers and consultants will collect data from your chosen assets but also utilise the tools available to identify other reliability issues (depending on time and accessibility).
