When a Client approach K-BIK Power about reviewing their HV asset maintenance procedures and asset condition data gathering, they were using an external Contractors, and the costs seemed to be unreasonable.
The assets included large and small transformers, HV and LV switchboard, instrument transformers and some overhead line equipment.
Key Challenges
The condition data was used to assess the level of maintenance needed for each asset type and when it should be done.
A further assessment of the time required to do the maintenance, what data was being collected, why and what it was being used for was undertaken.
K-BIK Power’s Approach
A strategy document was developed based on the past data collected and good industry practices.
A new maintenance strategy was developed and compared to good industry practices prior to implementing it.
Solutions Delivered
