Our Services
We specialise in delivering practical, results-driven solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce downtime, and minimise costs. Our approach is to meet you where you are, developing tailored solutions based on your unique needs. We remain completely agnostic regarding the best solutions, instead, we work with your existing tools and provide the support you need to achieve your goals.
We can provide a specialised range of services including:

Reliability Analysis
Struggling with repeat equipment failures? We can help you understand the root cause and implement practical solutions, including asset-specific analysis, performance analysis, reliability-centred maintenance, and failure mode analysis.

Maintenance Optimisation
Concerned about your maintenance systems? We optimise your systems, covering maintenance management, shutdown planning, preventative maintenance planning, and spares optimisation.

Root Cause Analysis
Facing recurring issues in your plant? Root cause analysis might be the solution. We facilitate collaborative investigations or train and coach your team to conduct them independently.

Risk Assessment and Prioritisation
Unsure where to start with long-term planning? We help you build tools to understand equipment risks and integrate them into your standard processes, including asset criticality assessment, risk and hazard identification, condition assessments, and capital renewals planning.

Capital Project Operational Readiness
Experiencing a disconnect between new projects and operational activities? We develop maintenance plans and spare parts recommendations to support your new equipment from day one, easing the workload on your reliability and maintenance planning teams.

Reliability Education
Want to leverage reliability benefits for your assets but don't know where to start? We tailor training programs, workshops, and ongoing coaching to meet the needs of you and your team.

Kōwhai: New Zealand's Golden Gem
