Are you getting an error message “Server: Msg 8947, Level 16, State 1
Table error: Multiple IAM pages for object ID O_ID, index ID I_ID contain allocations for the same interval. IAM pages P_ID1 and P_ID2” because of the table corruption?

MDF RepairThis error message implies that an IAM chain for a particular index has at least two IAM pages that are referred as the P_ID and P_ID1 and IAM chain covers a same interval of GAM.

Interval means a file space which GAM page makes uses to plan that is calculated as the 4 GB. Every index which has more than 1 extent which is allocated from the GAM interval is essential to have the IAM page for the specific GAM interval. The IAM page have 1 bit for every extent for all the extents of the GAM interval. The set bit shows that a specific index is owed to that index. This behavior occurs because of the hardware failure.

You have to make sure that no failure of hardware exists. You can run the diagnostics of the hardware and can check the application and the SQL server error code to know the exact problem. If required then you can replace your damaged hardware.
If you have the clean backup then restore from your database. If you do not have any backup then you can run DBCC CHECKDB to get an extent of the corruption. Then execute DBCC CHECKDB command with a recommended repair clause.
If doing all these nothing happens then you can scan your database with mdf repair tools.
