Ensuring Reliability and Safety

MSI engineering consultants have served the oil and gas industry for over 28 years from upstream to downstream, helping to ensure the safety and reliability of systems whose key components include pumps, turbines, fans, compressors, motors, valves, and actuators by reliably solving any vibration, dynamics, or performance problems that are found from extraction to transportation to refining.

MSI’s engineers and technicians have extensive experience working in demanding environments common to the oil and gas business, and understand and assist with the development issues of the industry, including safety and reliability of aging plants, assisting with specifications for new equipment, equipment modifications, and plants, resolving chronic issues such as small-bore piping vibration, and reducing the risk for high-profile structural and acoustic resonance problems.
