Maintenance Engineering

Maintenance engineering is not as easy as it might seem.

While maintenance may be perceived as less glamorous compared to new innovation, maintenance may provide a very worthy challenge. Sometimes maintenance is much more difficult, from an engineering perspective, compared to creating something new because there are a lot of constraints and some level of time pressure.

Maintenance Engineering is all about minimising disruption to someone’s business.

Even scheduled maintenance has time pressure because often it has to be done within a tight timeframe.

Imagine a city without a bridge, a railway without enough locomotives, a manufacturer without a key piece of equipment or a recycling station with a shredder out on maintenance.

We can maintain almost every piece of machinery and equipment imaginable. And because we have a spacious workshop, we can work on very large items, like diggers and excavators or railway wagons.

When it comes to rail or the automotive industry, the maintenance regime is followed to the tee. But when it comes to manufacturing equipment, sometimes the maintenance regime is not established or is not followed.

If you do not have a current maintenance regime set up, our consultants can help you establish a routine and provide all the support necessary to perform regular maintenance.

What is the value of regular maintenance?

We all know the value of regular maintenance, yet sometimes this value is not enough to take action. Allow me to list some of the many key benefits of maintenance and inspire you to reach out and ask about setting up a regular maintenance schedule for your plant and equipment:

• Safety
• Optimal performance
• Longevity of equipment
• Saving on repair or replacement costs
