START-UP & COMMISSIONING:Get it Right from the Start.

PREVENTIVE & PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE:The Power of Testing.

Start-up is the time to think about future reliability. It’s your chance to do it right from the beginning. Engaging our services to start-up the entire electrical distribution system aligns the right equipment and systems to ensure your new operation will reachpeak performance quickly and easily.

It’s undisputed. If you have equipment, you will have problems. In fact, 60% of breakdowns are due to poor maintenance and 25% offires and explosions are electrically induced. What if you could foresee problems like these, days or even months, before they occur?Predictive and Preventive Maintenance enables you to do just that. Our reliability-based maintenance solutions combine the besttechniques from each of the traditional maintenance approaches. The result? A comprehensive balanced maintenance strategy thatenables you to design a maintenance plan that pinpoints when and where it is needed most.

Preventive MaintenanceAn optimized preventive maintenancestrategy evaluates the condition of yourequipment and determines the mostcost-effective and manageable solutionto ensure your equipment’s overall performance, safety, and reliability. Let us help you design and implement a preventive maintenance strategy thatwill reduce your overall maintenancecosts and the amount of time spent on unplanned maintenance. More significantly, we can help improve overall reliability throughout your facility.
