  • Maintenance planning
  • Risk identification
02 / RESPOND

Respond

Providing timely engineering expertise to assess equipment failures and support operational continuity when it matters most.

  • Equipment diagnostics
  • Failure investigation
  • Mechanical engineering support
  • Repair planning
  • Engineering coordination
03 / IMPROVE

Improve

Developing long-term engineering solutions that strengthen reliability and lift operational performance for good.

  • Root cause analysis
  • Mechanical design improvements
  • Repair strategies
  • Equipment modifications
  • Reliability optimisation

About Garrick Engineering

Practical engineering, led by experience

Garrick Engineering was founded by Thomas Garrick to give industrial operators direct access to specialist mechanical engineering expertise — without the overhead of a large consultancy. The business exists to help industrial teams maximise equipment reliability, minimise operational disruption, and make informed engineering decisions.

By combining technical expertise with practical industry experience, we support critical infrastructure and production facilities through every stage of an asset’s lifecycle — from early-stage reliability reviews to emergency failure response and long-term design improvement.

Every engagement is built on the same commitment: understand the problem thoroughly, deliver practical engineering solutions, and build a lasting working relationship — not a one-off transaction.

01

Assess

On-site engineering assessment to understand asset condition, operating context and failure risk.

02

Diagnose

Root cause investigation using diagnostic tooling to identify the true source of mechanical failure.

03

Develop

Practical, engineered solutions developed for your real operating environment — not a generic fix.

04

Deliver

Implementation support and ongoing reliability improvement, coordinated around your maintenance windows.

What We Do

Engineering services built for critical assets

Specialist mechanical engineering support across diagnostics, reliability, project delivery and emergency response.

01

Industrial Mechanical Engineering

Core mechanical engineering support for heavy industrial assets and production systems.

02

Equipment Diagnostics

On-site diagnostic assessment of rotating and fixed equipment to identify performance issues early.

03

Mechanical Failure Investigation

Structured investigation of equipment failures to establish cause and prevent recurrence.

04

Root Cause Analysis

Systematic analysis that gets to the true source of mechanical failure, not just the symptoms.

05

Reliability Engineering

Improving asset reliability through data-led review of maintenance strategy and equipment condition.

06

Engineering Assessments

Independent engineering assessments to support decision-making on critical assets.

07

Shutdown Support

Engineering resourcing and coordination for planned shutdowns and maintenance windows.

08

Project Coordination

Coordinating mechanical engineering scope across contractors, suppliers and site teams.

09

Engineering Consulting

Specialist advisory support for maintenance, engineering and operations teams.

10

Emergency Engineering Support

Rapid-response engineering dispatch for critical failures — on call, day or night.

Materials Handling

Conveyor gearbox failure — high-tension processing facility

ChallengeRepeated gearbox failure on a primary conveyor drive was causing unplanned production stoppages.
AssessmentOn-site diagnostics identified misalignment and inadequate load distribution under peak tension.
SolutionEngineered realignment procedure and interim load-management fix ahead of a permanent drive upgrade.
OutcomeDowntime-related cost reduced by 87% within the following maintenance cycle.

Power Generation

Emergency pump bearing failure — critical cooling circuit

ChallengeBearing failure on a critical cooling pump risked forced shutdown of an active production unit.
AssessmentRapid-response engineers diagnosed root cause as contamination-driven bearing wear.
SolutionTemporary stabilisation deployed within hours, followed by scheduled permanent replacement.
OutcomeForced shutdown avoided; permanent repair completed during the next planned window.

Reliability review — critical drive systems fleet

ChallengeRecurring drive-system failures across a production fleet with no clear common cause.
AssessmentFleet-wide reliability review combined condition data with maintenance history analysis.
SolutionRevised maintenance strategy and root-cause-informed component upgrades.
OutcomeMeasurable lift in fleet-wide reliability and reduced maintenance spend.
Client Feedback

Trusted by operational teams

Garrick Engineering had a diagnostic team on-site within hours and stopped what would have been a very expensive shutdown.

Maintenance ManagerMaterials Handling Facility

Direct, technical, and genuinely practical. They explain the engineering, not just the invoice.

Plant ManagerManufacturing Site

Their reliability review gave us a maintenance plan we could actually implement, not just a report on a shelf.
