At TCR Advanced, we take great pride in our commitment to delivering precise and insightful engineering solutions. Recently, our team was honored to receive a letter of appreciation from Mr. Hemang Soni of Hindalco Industries, an Aditya Birla Group company, for our exceptional failure analysis work. The appreciation was directed to Mr. Paresh Haribhakti, Managing Director of TCR Advanced, acknowledging the invaluable metallurgical and structural study conducted on Hindalco’s cranes.
Hindalco contracted TCR Advanced to investigate the failures of two crucial cranes at their Dahej Plant. These cranes are integral to Hindalco’s operations, and any failure can result in significant downtime and productivity losses. Our team was entrusted with conducting an in-depth failure investigation, and we delivered results that not only solved the issue but also provided Hindalco with valuable insights for future improvements.
The first crane, a Figee model, experienced cracking on the slew column, a critical structural component. TCR Advanced took a comprehensive approach, combining metallurgical analysis with stress analysis using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess the root cause. Our team conducted a series of tests to thoroughly understand the failure mechanism. Through these methods, we were able to pinpoint the exact cause of the cracking and, in turn, propose a detailed list of corrective recommendations. The investigation, led by Mr. Paresh Haribhakti, showcased the advanced skills of TCR’s experts, resulting in actionable insights for Hindalco’s engineering team.
The second study focused on a Dalian crane, which, despite being only a year old, reported a failure of the boom. Again, TCR Advanced’s team meticulously analyzed the structural integrity of the crane and identified the underlying issues. Our findings offered Hindalco a deeper understanding of potential risks and solutions for the future.
Hindalco has expressed their sincere appreciation for our work, particularly highlighting the exceptional metallurgical expertise and the quality of service provided by TCR Advanced. This recognition underscores our dedication to solving complex engineering challenges and ensuring the highest standards of safety and performance for our clients.
At TCR Advanced, our ability to conduct detailed failure analysis and provide actionable solutions sets us apart. We are proud to collaborate with industry leaders like Hindalco and continue to build long-lasting relationships based on trust and expertise. Whether it’s conducting structural inspections or providing advanced metallurgical studies, we’re here to ensure that your operations remain safe, efficient, and reliable.
Thank you, Hindalco, for your trust in TCR Advanced. We look forward to continuing to serve you and helping you tackle any future engineering challenges with precision and excellence.
