Root cause
HPU pump and gearbox investigation
Accelerated wear traced to identical pressure settings creating resonance across the pumps. A pressure differential fixed it.

Onshore & offshore
Reactive sites fix the same failures over and over because nobody has time to ask why. Every repeat breakdown costs production, parts and overtime, and the root cause stays in the plant. We help operators find out why their assets fail, using their own failure data and the right analysis for the problem. Repeat failures stop, and maintenance moves from reacting to predicting.
What it is
Reliability management is the discipline of keeping assets doing their job for as long as they need to. It uses failure data, risk and condition information to decide where to intervene and when.
Data before opinion.
Different failure patterns need different responses. Weibull analysis on your failure data tells us which pattern each asset follows.

No failure history?
We use OREDA.
Many plants have never recorded enough failures to give a realistic likelihood of failure. Where your own history is thin, we use OREDA, the energy industry's reliability database built from over four decades of offshore and onshore equipment records, to set realistic failure rates. As your own data builds, it takes over.
About OREDACommon
questions.
What is the difference between reliability and maintenance?
Maintenance is the work. Reliability is the engineering that decides which work is worth doing and finds the causes of failure.
What is Weibull analysis used for?
It shows whether failures are early-life, random or wear-out, which decides whether time-based maintenance will help at all.
