Equipment Reliability Consulting For reducing maintenance costs of municipal entities:

Maintenance costs in municipal facilities can be reduced significantly by increasing equipment reliability. The running costs incurred by institutions in maintaining rotating equipment is usually staggering. The maintenance costs that you spend on your municipal facilities are generally a sum of all costs and can include the cost of labor, actual equipment repair costs, the cost of environmental cleanup as well as the cost of lost production, among others. When this is stacked up together, your municipality could be hemorrhaging money that could have been directed elsewhere. Public Works Consultants can advise you on how to increase your equipment’s reliability to cut down on the costs of maintaining the equipment. That is achieved via a concerted multi-faceted approach. 

Evaluating Current Maintenance Cost Levels:

Public Works Consultants can perform an audit of your current maintenance costs levels and identify ways of optimizing your maintenance costs in order to realize cost-effective equipment reliability.

Reducing Costs of Equipment and Parts Sourcing:

Is your municipality getting the best bargain for its equipment, parts, and service? Individual buyers can run cost comparisons and negotiate better deals, but institutional buyers are likely to pay the quoted price. If your municipality is spending too much on parts and services, there are always ways that you can use to source newer, efficient, and more reliable OEM parts. Public Work Consultants can advise you on parts and service sourcing for your fleet and other municipal facilities.

Failure Prevention Technology For reducing maintenance costs of municipal entities:

Equipment reliability can be increased with cutting-edge diagnostic and failure prevention technologies. Some facilities managers also invest in predictive maintenance practices that enable them to address points of failure before they reach a crippling juncture. By integrating these technologies into your facilities management, you can get better results in preventing breakdowns and increasing equipment reliability.

Equipment Upgrades For reducing maintenance costs of municipal entities:

One way to toughen your equipment and boost your it’s reliability and thereby cut down on the maintenance costs is by performing equipment upgrades. If your machine is obsolete, it is obviously going to cost you more in repairs. If the equipment is not functioning optimally or is no longer suited for the task at hand, you will be faced with increased failures. To delay this, it may be time to perform upgrades. Public Work Consultants can advise you every step of the way to ensure your equipment upgrades go as smoothly as possible.

Predictive Maintenance For reducing maintenance costs of municipal entities:

Predictive maintenance or PdM entails performing analyses and tests that can predict points of failure and allow you to take action before the problems occur. It is a proven methodology that drastically cuts down on the equipment failure rates and helps extend the asset life. If your municipality is struggling to incorporate predictive maintenance in its maintenance program, then Public Works Consultants can help. We will build a comprehensive framework that will make it easier for your municipality to embrace and integrate predictive maintenance mechanisms and procedures into its processes. Through PWC’s proven and tested methodology, we can help your city to identify the opportunities for integrating predictive maintenance to help augment your existing maintenance practice.
