Protecting Structural Integrity Through Insight and Experience
When industrial and mining structures are exposed to vibration, it is not just noise or movement, it is a signal. At Yenem Engineering Services, we specialise in understanding how vibration affects the integrity, performance, and safety of your structures.
Our vibration analysis service focuses on how your building, platform, or support structure responds to operational and environmental loads, not the machinery or equipment causing the vibration. The goal is to identify potential weaknesses early and keep your assets strong, stable, and compliant.
At Yenem Engineering Services, we know that behind every reliable plant is an engineer who understands vibration from the inside out.
What Is Structural Vibration Analysis?
A vibration analysis is the process of measuring, monitoring, and evaluating how a structure responds when exposed to dynamic forces generated by rotating equipment, vehicle movement, impact loading, or industrial operations. These forces can create complex patterns of motion that influence the strength, stability, and long-term durability of a structure.
By carefully analysing vibration levels, frequencies, and modes of response, our engineers can identify how energy is transmitted through the structure and where stress concentrations may occur. This helps reveal whether a structure is behaving as designed or showing early signs of fatigue, resonance, or instability.
A detailed vibration analysis provides valuable insight into the interaction between equipment and structure. It supports critical decisions such as verifying design assumptions, identifying the source of structural movement, and determining the most effective remediation or reinforcement strategy.
Ultimately, the goal of structural vibration analysis is to ensure that your facility remains safe, reliable, and compliant throughout its operational life, even under demanding dynamic conditions.
Why Structural Vibration Analysis Matters
Vibration is not simply a maintenance issue but a critical structural concern that can affect the long-term safety and reliability of any industrial or mining facility. When left unmanaged, excessive or continuous vibration can cause fatigue cracking in steel members and lead to the gradual loosening of connections. Over time, these small movements and stresses can accumulate, resulting in significant structural deterioration or even failure.
Applications
Our vibration analysis services cover a wide range of industrial and mining structures exposed to dynamic forces. This includes structures supporting screens (screening buildings), feeders or grizzlies attached to transfer towers and bins/chutes, and primary, secondary and tertiary crusher structures , where vibration from heavy equipment or material flow can cause fatigue and loosen connections. By assessing how these structures respond, we help maintain their strength and stability under demanding conditions.
In processing plants and industrial buildings, vibration analysis helps prevent structural and operational issues caused by rotating machinery, crushers, pumps, and fans. Our engineers evaluate how vibration travels through floors, beams, and foundations, identify potential problem areas, and recommend practical solutions to reduce stress and extend structural life.
We also assess platforms, walkways, and support structures that experience vibration from equipment or movement. These assessments help ensure compliance with safety standards and provide a stable, reliable environment for ongoing operations.
Whether it is a new design, an active facility, or an ageing structure showing signs of wear, our team provides the insight needed to keep your assets safe, compliant, and serviceable.
Our Approach
Every project begins with an understanding of the operating environment and structural behaviour. We do not just collect numbers; we interpret them in the context of your plant, process, and performance goals.
Our approach includes:
- Measurement – capturing real-time vibration data on key structural elements
- Analysis – identifying resonant frequencies, stress points, and potential fatigue areas
- Recommendations – providing practical remediation or reinforcement solutions to reduce vibration and extend structural life
While this holds for existing structures dealing with vibration problems, effective vibration control fundamentally comes from strong engineering decisions made during design to keep structural response within safe thresholds.
