About
Vibration Diagnostics Ltd was set up in 2011 by Christopher White.
Chris had previously been the Turbine Generator Rotating Plant Dynamics and Condition Monitoring section head for RWEnpower* before leaving on voluntary redundancy.
Chris had worked for RWEnpower and its predecessors for over 25 years specialising in large steam and gas turbine vibration and rotor dynamics. Within this role he was responsible for providing an expert engineering consultancy and trouble shooting service for turbine generators and auxiliary plant, to ensure the highest levels of flexibility, availability and efficiency. This included rotor dynamics and vibration, shaft alignments, bearing performance, rotor repair requirements, modal analysis and in-situ balancing, on over 20 GW of plant.
Chris is now supported by a number of engineers and data analysts so that Vibration Diagnostics can provide a fully customised service. This includes:-
- Routine Vibration Monitoring
- Problem Investigations
- Shaft alignment
