Achieve Operational Excellence with Condition-Based Maintenance by Nikham Angola
One Site Visit, Four Predictive Maintenance Activities, All in Line with ISO Standards
In industries where precision and reliability are critical—such as Oil & Gas, Industrial, Mining, and Marine Operations—Nikham Angola introduces its advanced Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) services. Moving beyond traditional visual inspections, our CBM solutions offer non-invasive diagnostics to identify mechanical and electrical anomalies, allowing for proactive maintenance. This ensures long-term asset integrity, with the added benefit of increased production and reduced operational costs.
Asset Integrity Management & Non-Destructive Testing
Our Condition-Based Maintenance services provide key benefits, including:
- Minimising production downtime
Reducing repair costs - Lowering spares inventory expenses
Optimising labour costs by preventing unplanned overtime and reliance on external contractors - Enhancing safety and quality control
- Setting trends for monitoring machinery condition
- Providing early detection of equipment issues
- Conducting root cause failure analysis to prevent future breakdowns
By transitioning from reactive to predictive maintenance, CBM leverages real-time data to forecast potential equipment failures. This approach helps reduce downtime, improve efficiency, and enhance resource management, ultimately driving cost savings.
Why Choose Condition-Based Maintenance?
CBM is a foundational tool in assessing the health of your assets and components. Our team gathers real-time data by conducting regular surveys that alert you to potential issues before they escalate into equipment failures. This proactive maintenance strategy prevents costly breakdowns and ensures the seamless operation of your equipment.
With ongoing technological advancements, production and maintenance teams can now implement scalable and cost-effective CBM strategies, adapting them to their specific operational needs. As workforce and skills shortages persist, CBM is a critical method for optimising asset health, empowering personnel to predict and resolve potential failures in advance.
Vibration Monitoring for Optimal Machinery Health
Precision Vibration Monitoring and Analysis are at the core of CBM, helping identify mechanical issues before they lead to equipment failures. Strategic vibration monitoring detects potential problems early, reducing unplanned downtime and costly breakdowns.
Key Advantages of Vibration Analysis:
- Minimises unplanned production stoppages by enabling scheduled outages
- Reduces overall maintenance costs through early detection
- Improves labour efficiency by avoiding unplanned overtime
- Ensures the availability of essential spare parts
- Identifies root causes of equipment failure well in advance, allowing timely interventions
Our team uses advanced accelerometers to measure absolute and relative vibration levels, comparing them with historical data to detect anomalies. The results are thoroughly analysed and presented in comprehensive reports, complete with recommendations for preventive action.
Infra-Red Thermography for Advanced Inspections
Infra-Red (IR) Thermography is another essential tool in CBM, offering a precise method for detecting temperature variations that are invisible to the naked eye. Our certified technicians use thermal imaging to identify inefficiencies and potential equipment failures, improving reliability and energy efficiency across a wide range of industrial applications.
Benefits of IR Thermography:
- On-site inspections and independent diagnostics
- Certified technicians and fault reports
- Asset insurance certification
From preventive maintenance to electrical system inspections, IR thermography helps identify issues in critical equipment, such as transformers, switchgear, and control panels, before they cause operational disruptions.
Ultrasound Technology for Advanced Diagnostics
Ultrasound diagnostics play a pivotal role in CBM by detecting high-frequency anomalies beyond the range of human hearing. This technology allows us to identify potential equipment failures early, ensuring quick resolutions and reducing downtime.
Applications of Ultrasound Technology:
- Asset Integrity Management: Ensures the safety and reliability of critical infrastructure
- Leak Detection: Identifies leaks in pressurised systems, preventing waste and mitigating risks
- Condition Monitoring: Provides vital insights into the health of machinery
- Electrical Inspection: Detects electrical faults early, improving safety
Oil and Grease Analysis for Equipment Longevity
Regular oil and grease analysis is an essential part of our CBM services. By examining the composition of lubricants, we can detect wear and contamination early, allowing for preventive measures that extend the life of your equipment and optimise operational efficiency.
Key Advantages:
- Early detection of wear and contamination
- Improved predictive maintenance planning
- Enhanced reliability and system monitoring
We also conduct dielectric fluid testing on transformers, helping assess their condition and aligning maintenance planning with operational and financial goals.
