Our expertise

Reliability and maintenance engineering

Connect maintenance decisions to the condition and operating demands of your assets. We combine plant and heavy mobile equipment maintenance with failure analysis, strategy development and shutdown planning.

The operating challenge

Start with what
the asset needs.

Recurring failures, competing maintenance priorities and unplanned work need more than isolated repairs. We investigate failure patterns and maintenance practices, then help turn the findings into workable tactics, plans and engineering actions.

How we can help

Scope with a clear purpose.

Maintenance & shutdown delivery

  • Plant-equipment maintenance and repairs
  • Heavy mobile equipment overhaul and maintenance
  • Shutdown, turnaround and outage optimisation
  • Maintenance tactics, schedules and resource planning
  • Project management, feasibility studies and front-end planning

Failure analysis & prevention

  • Root-cause analysis of recurring equipment failures
  • Defect identification and elimination
  • Failure mode and effects analysis
  • Downtime analysis and critical-event assessment
  • Corrective actions and prevention strategies

Asset performance & lifecycle

  • Maintenance strategy development and optimisation
  • Reliability block modelling and redundancy analysis
  • Warranty tracking and documentation management
  • Predictive-maintenance planning and performance trending
  • Cost-benefit assessment and improvement planning

Methods & technology

Tools chosen for
the task.

RCA

Root-cause analysis links recurring failures to corrective and preventive actions.

FMEA

Failure mode and effects analysis identifies failure modes, their effects and mitigation priorities.

SAP downtime data

Downtime records support critical-event assessment and maintenance improvement.

Reliability block modelling

System modelling examines performance, risk and the role of redundancy.
