DiPerk

Engines from all over the world arrive at DiPerk’s workshop in Peterborough to be maintained, repaired and overhauled. So, what happens behind the scenes? Here, Mark Prentice, Workshop Manager at DiPerk Power Solutions, explains the journey an engine takes in the workshop.

American novelist, Kurt Vonnegut once said “another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance”. In our daily work in engineering we know this to be true in many cases. However, only by maintaining what’s been built can we keep industrial operations running. Here, Steve Haughton, Technical Manager at DiPerk, explains some common causes of engine failure, how to detect them and engine health.
