A Water and Wastewater Industry Long-Term Partner

MSI has served the water, wastewater, and flood control industry for over 28 years, contributing to new industry standards and ensuring machine vibration, dynamics, and performance issues are correctly anticipated and prevented in new plants, and reliably resolved in existing plants being maintained or upgraded.

Ensuring correct machinery specifications is particularly vital when machine and system dynamics are often a secondary focus to civil engineering elements. Consequently, the risk of installing vibration problems with rotating machinery or systems increases, requiring the dynamics expertise and specialist support that MSI supplies.
