An issue with your liner bolt means three things:
One, it is only a matter of time before your high strength steel bolts completely lose their functionality.
Two, a disruption to your business operations is imminent.
Three, you can expect a massive impact to your revenue.
Not exactly uplifting scenarios, are they?
Unless you do something about it early, this problem will only spiral downward, negatively impacting your efficiency, production, and your bottom line.

Back to our client with a once-a-week liner bolt failure – we knew that just using an extensive array of standard bolt repair and diagnostics wouldn't cut it.
We rolled out our specialised ultrasonic bolt stress monitoring skills & technology to efficiently and effectively eliminate all these failures.
The operators even bet me a carton of beer that we would fail. I never got to taste this and revel in my victory as we were long gone by the time our service was a proven success.
While it may only sound like a small $17,500 per hour production rate, since then we can report zero failures, adding up to an extra $18.2M revenue for this site.
