New WearCheck agent in East Africa

TANZANIA

Condition monitoring specialist company, WearCheck, recently teamed up with Tanzania-based condition monitoring company, Technical and Engineering Solutions (TES), to bring an extensive range of reliability solutions to customers in East Africa.

National sales manager for WearCheck, Juliane de Beer, says the partnership is already operational, with TES/WearCheck customers in Tanzania benefiting from the combined service offering. ‘Through TES, we can now extend WearCheck’s specialist services into a whole new part of East Africa, which complements our WearCheck branch in Mozambique’.

While TES provides local expertise in Tanzania, samples are processed through Wear-Check’s world-class laboratory infrastructure. This ensures that clients receive reports from a globally recognised leader, which is often a critical requirement for international insurance compliance and warranty validation.

The collaboration empowers Tanzanian customers with a combined service offering, enabling East African industries to transition toward internationally recognised reliability standards. By joining forces, TES and Wear-Check are significantly enhancing condition monitoring capabilities across the region’s expanding industrial and energy sectors

Mary Mwanukuzi is the founder and technical manager for TES, WearCheck’s new partner in Tanzania. She believes that condition monitoring is not about tools, technology, and reports – rather, it is about fixing the findings. Reducing those findings to zero is the ultimate proof that the CBM programme is working.

Mary Mwanukuzi, founder and technical manager for TES, is pleased to expand her company’s condition monitoring programmes with the addition of WearCheck’s testing techniques. ‘In addition to oil and fuel analysis, we now offer a full suite of Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) services using portable diagnostics, including on-site Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) for immediate follow-up on critical transformers, infrared thermography (IR), ultrasonic and acoustic inspections, power-quality analysis, vibration analysis and earth resistance and battery health assessments.

WearCheck national sales manager, Juliane de Beer, highlights the company’s expansion into Tanzania and the broader East African region through its partnership with TES.

‘We also provide specialised on-site electrical and mechanical diagnostics that complement WearCheck’s laboratory expertise:

• Advanced Three-Phase Power Quality Analysis to analyse power stability.

• Stationary Battery Testing: Analysing critical backup systems.

• Acoustic Imaging: Detecting gas leaks and partial discharge.

• Earth Analysis: testing resistance and leakage current.’ TES serves customers in Dar es Salaam as well as throughout Tanzania. The company, while recently founded, is built on a foundation of 30 years of experience in power plant engineering, including 14 years specifically dedicated to the field of CBM. Mary believes that quality is driven from the top. ‘We are proud to share that our leadership team holds advanced Category I (CAT I) certifications in Infrared Thermography and Ultrasound (Mobius Institute) and Vibration Condition Monitoring (IRD Mechanalysis). This deep technical expertise ensures that every solution we provide is backed by industry-leading standards.’ .
