Project Overview
Integrated engine-room repair involving rotating-equipment alignment, coupling inspection, foundation correction and associated piping modification.
Operational Challenge
Abnormal vibration and repeated coupling issues indicated that the equipment train was not operating in a stable aligned condition. Pipe strain and foundation condition also required verification.
Technical Assessment
The equipment was inspected for soft foot, coupling condition, baseplate integrity, pipe strain and shaft alignment. Existing readings and maintenance history were reviewed before adjustment.
Detailed Scope of Work
- Initial vibration and condition inspection
- Coupling dismantling and inspection
- Soft-foot and foundation checks
- Shaft alignment measurement and correction
- Shim adjustment and controlled tightening
- Inspection and correction of connected piping strain
- Coupling reassembly and guard reinstatement
- Operational run and post-repair monitoring
Execution Methodology
The equipment was isolated and coupling condition documented. Foundation bolts, shims and base condition were checked. Alignment corrections were made progressively, with repeated measurements after tightening. Connected piping was adjusted where necessary to prevent distortion of the machine casing.
HSE Controls
Rotating equipment was isolated and secured. Lifting and jacking were controlled, and pinch-point hazards were managed during alignment and coupling work.
Quality Assurance and Inspection
Before-and-after alignment readings were recorded. Final acceptance included free rotation, coupling condition, bolt security and stable operation during the test run.
Project Outcome
Alignment was restored and vibration reduced to an acceptable operating condition. The machinery train returned to service with improved mechanical stability.
Typical Close-Out Deliverables
- Mechanical repair report
- Alignment readings
