𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗼𝘅 🥳 2024 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘈𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 - 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 Charlie started his apprenticeship with AVT Reliability in September 2023, after completing A-Levels Charlie decided that hands-on work in the form of an apprenticeship suited his learning style better than going to university. Following the interview and induction day, it was clear to see how eager Charlie was to get started in the office. Since then Charlie has gone from strength to strength working across a variety of areas including Machine Sentry Online systems, operating the support desk and learning all there is to know about the Machine Sentry product suite. Apprenticeships are essential to us here at AVT Reliability and we pride ourselves on our ability to create a positive, engaging and inspiring learning and working environment for all of our staff members. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Charlie on his award. 🥇 𝗔 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗲 "𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳"

Engineers James Wilkinson, Sam Redmond and Archie Houston, from our Asset Integrity Division, performed various assessments including Strain and Vibration monitoring, Motion Amplification and Finite Element Analysis to identify potential areas of concern and establish whether the stresses on the pipework posed any further threats to the overall integrity of the line. As a result of our investigation, we found that the increased vibrations in the mainline pipework were indeed presenting a risk as well as other pipework connections and associated equipment. We therefore recommended various mitigation measures, including the use of viscous dampers to provide dynamic damping restraint during slugging events. Our Asset Integrity Division specialises in structural and pipework vibration investigations.

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 - 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗿 Peter joins the AVT Reliability team as a CBM Engineer, bringing with him a strong background in multi-skilled engineering & team management. Peter started his engineering career as an Electrician at the Barrow shipbuilding yard before pursuing a career in the Armed Forces. 14 years later, Peter decided to move back into engineering, accepting a post with a large food manufacturer as a Multiskilled Engineer, then a Team Leader and finally as an Engineering Process Manager. Peter is hard-working, self-motivated and committed to learning his new role of CBM Engineer, working to improve reliability for AVT Reliability customers. In his spare time, Peter enjoys getting out into the countryside walking with his family and their dog. Home DIY is currently a big part of Peters life, but he hopes this will not be for too much longer, he aims instead to have more time for family holidays. Welcome to the team Peter! 👋

𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆® - 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀! Machine Sentry® is a powerful non-invasive system to monitor the condition of your equipment, providing valuable data and insights that can be accessed anywhere from our state-of-the-art online portal. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺® 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬? Here is a great example of this from our Asset Integrity Team. A recent Pipework Vibration (PV) Survey on the Suction and Discharge pipework of a Gas Compressor using AVT Reliability’s Machine Sentry Vibration Monitoring system, identified potentially damaging levels of vibration on a number of Small Bore Pressure and Temperature connections when compared to the Energy Institutes ‘Guidelines for the avoidance of vibration induced fatigue failure in process pipework’ (EI Guidelines) assessment criteria. AVT Reliability recommended the SBC’s were braced back to the main line and were supported in 3 planes as recommended in the EI Guidelines. AVT Reliability has since installed 20 Easy-Brace® pipe supports to the vulnerable SBC’s and subsequent, measurements show that the SBC Operational Vibration levels have decreased significantly and are now in line with the EI Guidelines.
