Services
At MCI, we have many years of experience with problems related to mechanical installations, process technology, and manufacturing techniques for machines and their components.
We understand better than anyone that even the smallest details can have major consequences for your installations.
Maximising the Integrity of Installations
Prevention of Problems
Many problems arise due to:
- Incorrect material selection
- Inadequate detail engineering
- Improper welding or assembly
- Misuse of the installation
These failures are often a result from a lack of relevant knowledge about possible failure mechanisms.
These errors are often the result of insufficient knowledge about potential failure mechanisms. This plays a role from the design phase of your installation all the way through to its operation and maintenance.
Such problems can lead to premature fatigue, wear, fractures or corrosion — resulting in costly downtime and potentially hazardous situations.
Our Expertise: Failure Mechanism Analysis
We specialise in failure mechanisms and combine multidisciplinary insights from a wide range of fields:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Materials Investigations / -Science
- Corrosion and fracture mechanics
- Maintenance and inspection
- Process technology and manufacturing techniques
- Destructive and non-destructive investigation methods
Thanks to these combined areas of expertise, we are able to answer the crucial Fitness For Service question.
Is your asset Really Fit for service?
Your supplier builds the installation you’ve purchased — but is it truly tailored to your specific application down to the last detail?
MCI investigates this for you, adding the crucial knowledge your supplier may lack or not apply due to other interests.
As a result:
- You get a better-performing installation
- You extend the lifetime of your installation
- You significantly reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Preventive Use of Knowledge for Better Decisions
Our extensive expertise in failure mechanisms, built up through years of failure analysis across various industries, was often only called upon when it was already too late.
Today, we apply this knowledge much earlier: during the procurement and engineering phases.
This helps to avoid problems during operation and ensures greater reliability and safety of your installation.
