Asset Management
Increasing demand by existing clients for improvements in equipment efficiency and reliability through better maintenance practices has seen the need for Sedgman to expand its services and form teams dedicated to asset management in the key areas of maintenance and reliability services. These teams are able to provide both existing and new clients with on/off site rebuilds, maintenance, monitoring, and asset management support through our workshop facility.
Our business is supported by a team of highly skilled professionals in engineering, construction, manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, and other industries. We have been providing services to various industries for over 40 years, and in this time we have gained extensive knowledge enabling Sedgman to provide clients with reliable and comprehensive services, asset management solutions and best practice maintenance advice.
Sedgman employs a team of Asset Management professionals to service our mineral processing operational sites and to provide consulting services to our clients.
Our Asset Management support group provides the following services:
- Establishment of bespoke computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS) and regimes for fixed process plant and mobile plant. This includes activity description, activity frequency, safety requirements, work method, tooling requirements, parts, and consumables
- Development of asset management plans
- Equipment and spares criticality analysis
- Evaluation and benchmarking of existing maintenance practices
- Equipment life cycle cost analysis
- Maintenance strategy review and/or development
- Structural integrity audits
- Lubrication system audits
- Equipment failure investigations and root cause analysis (fixed and mobile plant)
Technical Services
Sedgman, supported by EIC Activities (a CIMIC Group company), provides expert technical analysis, advice and solutions, and work at the forefront of digital applications. These services include:
- Heavy lift studies
- Geotechnical assessment and interpretation
- Registration of classified plants
- Design of specialised structural solutions such as underground vaults and tunnels
Furthermore, condition assessment of existing assets and remediation of issues necessitate complex numerical analyses. Sedgman utilises state of the art finite element analysis (FEA) packages for design verification, fatigue assessment, vibration analysis and design optimisation.
