Maintenance strategy
Advisory services for developing suitable maintenance strategies to fit the operator’s operational philosophies and business targets. Vital elements include handling integrated operations and condition-based maintenance.
Maintenance engineering
Development and optimization of condition based maintenance and inspection programs combining our vast experience with methodology such as:
- Criticality analysis
- Failure Mode Effect Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
- Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
- Risk Based Inspection (RBI)
- Detailed planning for maintenance activities and spare parts
Maintainability Evaluations
Selecting maintenance-friendly equipment / packages is essential for streamlined and efficient maintenance execution. Multi-disciplinary evaluations are performed to select the right design and ensure reduced sparing cost.

The Miriam Regina simulation tool is used for production availability analysis to achieve and maintain high production regularity on oil and gas fields, maximising the utilisation of producing assets and increase company profits.
Staffing analysis
Benchmarking maintenance operations, the number of inherent maintenance work-hours, staffing level per task, Opex and life-cycle operating cost for:
- New plants - especially during the design phase when configuration changes are still possible
- Operating plants - to identify excessive operating and maintenance costs
- Design changes - where the requirement is to establish the effect of changes on work-hours and Opex
Material Technology
Based upon expert knowledge on material degradation mechanisms, operating conditions, existing materials on facility, CAPEX and OPEX, we recommend the best material selection for a specific plant or facility. Also, based upon expert knowledge on surface protection, we recommend the best solutions to achieve long life in harsh environments. Our material handling philosophies are in line with governing standards and regulations, and are aligned with company operational philosophy and best industry practice.
