Manufacturing plant achieves 100% on-time preventative maintenance

Maintaining uptime in a facility with aging HVAC assets Built in the early 1900s, the manufacturing plant spans hundreds of acres and operates more than 450 HVAC assets, including chillers, boilers, rooftop units, and cooling towers. Frequent equipment failures caused production downtime and nearly 13,000 hours of annual maintenance and repairs. The incumbent service provider lacked the expertise and responsiveness needed to ensure reliability, leaving the plant vulnerable to costly emergency repairs and lost manufacturing output.

Implementing an asset lifecycle management program for long-term reliability The manufacturing plant introduced an Asset Lifecycle Management Program designed to restore operational stability and reduce total cost of ownership. The approach combined people, processes, and technology to deliver measurable results: Technicians supported by a local account manager and site manager ensured clear communication and accountability. Quarterly business reviews tracked performance against KPIs and aligned stakeholders on goals. Scheduled service and rapid response protocols minimized downtime and extended asset life. A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) automated documentation, tracked costs, and informed capital planning.

Driving measurable savings and production reliability Within the first year, the Asset Lifecycle Management Program delivered significant improvements to the manufacturing plant, ensuring that the plant could maintain consistent operations while controlling costs: $773,280 annual maintenance and repair cost reduction compared to the previous provider 50% fewer maintenance and repair hours · $200,000 annual chiller rental cost avoidance Estimated $40M improvement in production output due to increased equipment uptime 100% completion of scheduled service extended asset life Two consecutive quarters without after-hours requests. Targeted repairs avoided $300,000 in asset replacement costs.

Built in 2014, this modern 12-level A-Grade office building features office accommodation and retail amenities. 100 Skyring Terrace is Brisbane’s #1 NABERS rated office building in its class for Growthpoint Properties Australia.
