Asset Integrity & Reliability Services (AIRS)

 

Vipac has worked in the asset reliability field for nearly 30 years, applying the latest solutions to a diverse range of machines across all segments of the power, process, petrochemical, mining and mineral processing industries. Vipac's approach to asset reliability encompasses a broad range of diagnostic techniques to gain a complete understanding of a machine's condition. 

As machinery faults are identified, follow up actions are prioritised through discussion with relevant personnel, and then planned into maintenance schedules, leading to significant long term savings from condition based maintenance.

Vipac’s total asset reliability approach provides:

•   Immediate knowledge of plant asset status
•   Machine fault identification and warning of impending failure
•   Clear and concise diagnosis and maintenance recommendations
•   Identification of systematic faults and recommendations of solution
•   A knowledge base for high level investigations

AIRS can be employed on many types of properties including:

•   Commercial
•   Office Buildings
•   Residential and Apartment Buildings
•   Major Retail Centres
•   Hospitals
•   Hotels
•   Industrial Plant

A sound asset or facility management plan must ensure that the building will be fit for purpose and effectively meet the needs of its users throughout the building's lifespan. These needs can differ for each building but generally categorised into 2 main areas:

•   Mechanical Services – includes HVAC system, water supply and any other rotating or electrical machinery
•   Electrical Services – switchboards, electric motors and electrical reticulation systems

AIRS improves operational performance using the following technologies:

•   Vibration Condition Monitoring
•   Laser Alignment
•   Thermographic Inspection Procedures
•   Pipe Thickness Testing
•   Oil Analysis (Tribology)
•   Electric Motor Power and Current Signature Analysis
•   Transformer Analysis
