INSPECTION, EVALUATION AND DIAGNOSIS

Why catastrophic failures occur

Critical equipment failures often trace back to foundation or alignment issues. Excessive vibration levels, high power consumption, and frequent component wear—such as seals and bearings—are signs of deeper problems that can lead to grout or foundation damage.

The impact of vibration

When machines operate under high vibration, the resulting stress weakens their anchoring systems over time. This creates additional risks of unplanned stoppages, production losses, and rising maintenance costs. Identifying these vibrations early helps prevent minor faults from escalating into catastrophic failures.

Alphatec Engineering’s advanced diagnostic approach

We employ Motion Amplification, a cutting-edge video processing method that detects subtle movement and magnifies it for visual analysis. By turning microscopic displacements into clear, visible motion, our team can:

  • Pinpoint the exact source of problematic vibrations

  • Quantify displacement and structural damage

  • Understand the relationships between different machine components

From diagnosis to remediation

Armed with clear, data-driven insights, we determine the root cause of foundation or alignment failures. We then devise a tailored plan to restore—or, if necessary, improve upon—the machine’s original anchoring system. This may involve specialized epoxy grout solutions, foundation realignment, or reinforcement methods that meet or exceed international standards.

Rapid inspection and expert repair

When you contact Alphatec Engineering, we can quickly dispatch a team to inspect any problem machinery. After identifying weak points and vibration hot spots, we develop a detailed proposal for repairs.

Our goal is to address all concerns comprehensively so your equipment returns to service with enhanced durability and reduced risk of future failures.
