3Profile and capabilities overview

Condition monitoringALS is the largest integrated condition monitoring service provider in Australia with a 35 year track record, with an approach based on ISO 17359 Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics of Machines.

We assist clients to develop integrated condition monitoring plans, provide staff training, relief assistance, data management and auditing.

VIBRATION MONITORINGMost components, stationary or rotating, move about a reference point. We measure and analyse vibrations to accurately diagnose machinery and structural conditions. Vibration analysis will diagnose developing or preexisting conditions such as:

Machinery imbalance Misalignment Bearing and gearing defects Lubrication problems Structural vibration Motor defects Environmental and construction / demolition vibration impact.

THERMOGRAPHYAll objects emit electromagnetic energy. We use thermography to detect thermal variations identifying particular conditions including:

Electrical equipment poor connections or contacts, overloading, unbalanced loads

Boilers / steam systems refractory / insulation breakdown Process equipment location of solid, liquid and gas levels in

tanks and vessels, scale build-up and blockages in pipework, defective valves, hot / cold air leaks

Mechanical equipment conveying systems, bearings, and seals, drive belts and trains, turbo equipment, coupling problems, open gear integrity, crushers, screens and pumps.

TRIBOLOGYALS Tribology provides independent assessment of the suitability and condition of lubricating oils, greases, coolants, and fuels for equipment operation, preventative maintenance, and diagnostic purposes. Reports are made available through our online WebtrieveTM portal allowing easy access to results from any location. Regular oil and wear debris analysis, together with other condition monitoring techniques, can accurately determine the condition of your equipment allowing early detection of potentially catastrophic failures.

Materials engineeringOur experienced engineers and metallurgists have the capacity to provide clients with answers to complex materials questions including:

Residual life extension Material selection, identification, chemical analysis,

condition assessment and repair strategies Metallography and microstructural characterisation Fatigue / remnant life analysis Stress and strain measurement Failure analysis and mitigation / root cause analysis Corrosion investigation and mitigation Coating assessment and specification Concrete diagnostics and repair strategies Creep and crack fatigue analysis of high

temperature plant Evaluation of cracks and flaws using fracture mechanics Litigation support and expert witness.

InspectionALS has a team of qualified AICIP and API inspectors who assess pressure equipment including boilers, pressure vessels, pressure piping, storage tanks and associated equipment as per the applicable code and client requirements. We also perform third-party reviews for the construction of structural items and new pressure equipment.

Using a team of experienced integrity engineers, senior inspectors and senior NDT personnel, we provide Risk Based Inspection (RBI) services. RBI provides cost benefits to clients via optimising required inspection intervals for plant ensuring efficient use of resources.

Our engineers can prepare inspection work scopes outlining required NDT and set required inspection intervals within the guidelines of the applicable code or client specification. We also provide repair recommendations and evaluate asset suitability for continued service.

ALS has qualified welding engineers and WTIA AS1796 certificate 10 welding supervisors capable of inspecting welds and developing procedures to international and Australian codes as well as client requirements.
