Mechanical Plant Maintenance
Quality maintenance, guaranteed production volumes
GPS Holdings provides expert Mechanical Plant Maintenance services, ensuring the optimal performance, reliability, and longevity of industrial equipment through preventative maintenance, repairs, and technical support.
Preventive Maintenance
Tasks performed on equipment at regular intervals to prevent failure, such as lubricating machinery, checking for wear and tear, or replacing parts that have a known service life.
Using sensors and diagnostic tools to monitor equipment condition and detect issues before they lead to failure, such as vibrations, temperature changes, and pressure levels.
Corrective Maintenance
Involves fixing or replacing equipment that has broken down unexpectedly.
This can be reactive or done after a breakdown is detected.
Identifying the root causes of equipment failure and implementing corrective actions.
Predictive Maintenance
This involves using real-time data from equipment sensors (vibration, temperature, etc.) to predict potential failures. Predictive maintenance aims to fix equipment just before it fails, minimizing downtime and repair costs.
Reliability-Centralised Maintenance
RCM helps determine the most cost-effective maintenance approach based on the criticality and failure modes of the equipment. It balances preventive, predictive, and corrective strategies.
Total Productive Maintenance
TPM is a holistic approach where all employees (from operators to managers) take responsibility for maintaining equipment. The goal is to maximize equipment effectiveness through continuous improvement, operator training, and equipment monitoring.
Shutdown and Turnaround Maintenance
Large-scale, scheduled maintenance that occurs during plant shutdowns or turnarounds. These periods are used for overhauls, upgrades, or repairs that cannot be completed during normal plant operations.
Maintenance Planning and Scheduling
Effective planning and scheduling ensure that maintenance activities are conducted with minimal disruption to production. It involves allocating resources, tools, and manpower efficiently to address maintenance needs.
Spare Parts Management
Keeping an adequate supply of spare parts is crucial to avoid downtime. Proper inventory management ensures that parts are available when needed, reducing lead times and costs associated with emergency orders.Keeping an adequate supply of spare parts is crucial to avoid downtime.

Safety and Compliance
Maintenance can also focus on improving the energy efficiency of equipment. Regular checks and upgrades can help reduce energy consumption, lower costs, and reduce the environmental footprint of the plant.

Benefits of Effective Plant Maintenance:
- Safety : Regular inspections and maintenance reduce the risk of accidents and injuries by ensuring equipment operates safely.
- Costs Preventing breakdowns and operating inefficiencies can lead to significant savings on repair costs, emergency maintenance, and lost production.
- Downtime : Effective maintenance minimizes the frequency and duration of equipment failure, prevents emergencies, and increase production.
- Integrity Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of equipment, delaying costly capital investments in new machinery.
- Production : Well-maintained equipment operates more efficiently, contributing to predictable, sustainable and increased production volumes, and product quality.
