Case Study: There & Back Again – Condition Monitoring Spearheading Defect Elimination

Daré Petreski , Technical Director, Mobius Institute

Description

In this presentation, Daré will present a case study of a newly commissioned multi-million-dollar mining facility that was operated by an Engineering Project & Construction Management (EPCM) organisation with minimal maintenance experience and what effect that had on output.

He will also illustrate how everyday condition monitoring tools can spearhead a defect elimination initiative, eradicating the root cause of problems that lead to multiple and costly unplanned failure events.
