AMCO provide these services to oil, gas, mining, refinery, LPG plants, petrochemical plants, food industry, fertilizers, manufacturing, construction, defence, automobiles, general industry and power sectors including companies, contractors, project management companies, government and other public bodies.
AMCO is pre-qualified with most of the major Power Plants, Fertilizers, Refineries, Sugar, Cement, Textile and Oil and Gas companies in the Europe, North America, Japan, Middle East and Far East.
The objectives and specific fields of activity of the company are as follows:
1) AMCO helps plant owners and operators to deal with plant materials issues such as which components made from which materials may crack or experience damage and how to reduce or prevent such damage, repair such components or replace them with which new materials.
2) AMCO helps and guides industry to understand and solve problems related to plant operation, maintenance, inspection and monitoring.
3) AMCO provides consultancy in plant component integrity and life determination and extension.
4) AMCO helps industry to improve plant efficiency and thus save costs by adopting, or making improvements in, plant inspection, maintenance etc.
5) We can calculate stress levels in components using sophisticated software and Finite Element analysis.
6) We provide consultancy in Fitness-For-Service (FFS) i.e. if a particular component showing some problems is fit for service and for how long it can safely operate before it is repaired or replaced.
7) We help plant operators to plan plant outage in terms of inspection prioritisation etc. This is done by our own procedure and software called ‘Risk fit’. This procedure helps plant owners/ operators to prioritise component inspection on the basis of risk imposed by each component. The risk is quantified in terms of the component cost, its risk to the workers health and safety when it fails and such other factors. Thus a risk factor is given to each component and those at highest risk are inspected first.
8) AMCO can help plant designers and manufacturers to improve their plant design.
9) AMCO is familiar with various national and international standards and codes (European, British, German, ASME and Japanese) for plant design and integrity assessment and provides guidance to its clients in this area.
10) AMCO also provides guidance to plant designers and manufacturers on which materials and weld consumables are best to use.
