Scope
What the survey covers
Mechanical condition assessment
Physical inspection of the system and its components. Wear, damage, misalignment, lubrication condition, and general mechanical integrity assessed and documented.
Structural and FEA analysis
Where structural adequacy is in question, finite element analysis is used to assess load capacity, identify stress concentrations, and determine whether the structure meets its operating requirements.
Drive components and bearing assessment
Drive motors, gearboxes, chains, shafts, and bearings assessed for condition and remaining service life. Bearing life calculations carried out where relevant.
Controls assessment
Review of control systems for condition, obsolescence risk, and compliance. Identifies systems that are approaching end of vendor support or presenting operational risk.
Documented findings and recommendations
All findings are documented in a structured report with photographs, engineering calculations, and a clear set of recommendations prioritised by risk and commercial impact.
Deliverable
What you get
A structured technical report. Not a checklist. Not a generic template. A documented assessment specific to your equipment with engineering analysis behind every finding and a clear set of recommendations you can act on.
The report includes photographs, engineering calculations where relevant, and findings prioritised by risk and commercial impact. You receive a clear action plan covering what needs immediate attention, what requires further review, and what can continue under routine maintenance.

If you are not sure whether your equipment needs a survey, that is usually a sign that it does. A short conversation is enough to establish whether a formal assessment is the right next step and what it would involve.
Surveys are scoped and priced on the specific system. Most assessments are turned around within two to three weeks of instruction.
