The power of condition assessment
Our services provide you with a complete and accurate picture of the condition of your substation and cable assets, in addition to ensuring that you comply with all legal obligations, including HSG230. We enable you to:
- Identify faults as they develop - BEFORE they lead to failures.
- Quantify deterioration of individual assets and groups of assets – so you can PREDICT and PLAN when they require active maintenance or replacement.
- Upgrade your maintenance regime from time-based to condition-based – which has been shown to IMPROVE overall asset performance at lower cost.
Adopting condition based maintenance
By implementing condition assessment techniques, EA Technology can help you to:
- Meet the requirements of PAS 55 – the British Standards Institutions specification for management of physical assets and infrastructure.
- Optimise the maintenance costs for the assets - to identify the strategic importance of each individual asset and set a regime based on the criticality and condition.
- Minimise the downtime and maximise availability of supply.
- Optimise replacement strategy based on condition and strategic importance.
- Produce regular reports on the status and condition of HV Electrical Equipment and associated substation and building fabric and maintain an audit trail.
- Ensure compliance with statutory requirements, regulations, standards and security.
- Develop a comprehensive programme of inspections.
Benefits to your business
Assessing the condition of your assets delivers measurable return on investment. Our services will help you to:
- Achieve major reductions in costs associated with unpredicted asset failures as well as ongoing asset management.
