THE MACHINE MDs ARE IN THE BUILDING…

Think of your facility as a body.

The equipment within it are its organs. The piping and ductwork are its circulatory system and the cabling is its nervous system.

Your job is to keep everything running at 100%, 24/7/365 days.

When something’s wrong with one organ, the rest of the body is affected. We take a holistic approach to diagnosing, rehabilitating, and healing based on our experience and understanding of mechanical systems.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) – are the BRAINS of mechanical systems.

Most VFDs aren’t programmed to lock out critical frequencies—the speeds at which a motor inevitably fails. Critical Speed Analysis isolates and avoids these frequencies. We offer VFD Preventative Maintenance to keep drives running optimally, Troubleshooting to get fickle drives back on-line, Harmonic Mitigation reducing drive-induced electrical disturbances, and Installation, Replacement, and Repair services.

Motors are the HEART of your operation.

We keep them in top shape to ensure they continue to beat. We are experts in predictive techniques such as Vibration Analysis, Critical Speed Analysis, Mechanical Inspection, Alignment Verification/Adjustment, Dynamic Balancing, and Motor Circuit Analysis. We also perform Corrective Action to ensure motors are properly installed, repaired, and operationally tested.

Fans are the LUNGS of a building.

We design, test, repair, and install fan systems to ensure optimal air comfort and fire safety and specialize in the cooling of critical equipment. As part of Commissioning teams, we perform Functional and Acceptance Testing, on new and refurbished systems to ensure they are not defective, are properly installed, and adhere to design specifications.

Pumps—condenser, domestic, sump—continually work to distribute fluids throughout the building.

We find pumps aren’t correctly situated on their bases and their piping systems are not properly isolated or insulated. Consequently, you may be experiencing a resonance phenomenon known as Coherence, disrupting and causing seemingly inexplicable failures in nearby equipment. Through proprietary methods, we prevent this. We also Commission piping systems and chillers.
