Our Services
Inspection
In Step 1 of the process AMD Engineering (AMD-ENG) will tailor inspection and testing programs suited to your strategic asset management requirements and information system maturity. AMD-ENG uses NATA registered inspection and testing service providers for relevant field sampling and laboratory testing. Reports are written in plain English and underpinned by real data and extensive infrastructure knowledge and experience.
Site inspections and investigations may include terrestrial or underwater/internal inspections, investigations using specialised testing equipment/methods, continuous remote monitoring, data access & reporting via web-hosting, assessment of safe access, coordinating planned network interruptions for inspections, monitoring and repairs, responding to customer complaints, evaluating compliance with environmental and other statutory requirements, assessing problem sites and planning work effort in conjunction with operators and asset managers.
AMD-ENG will delivery an inspection program designed to underpin our client's asset lifecycle planning and asset creation processes.
Planning
In Step 2 AMD-ENG can develop maintenance plans, replacement and renewal programs for facilities, equipment or asset classes. We recognises the advantages of programmed inspections, condition assessments and maintenance to optimise asset performance. AMD-ENG will apply recognised infrastructure management principles to reduce operational costs and identify potential capital expenditure deferment or re-assessment.
AMD-ENG can develop programs that are suited to your asset management system and changing customer and/or regulatory requirements. Maintenance and renewal planning, scope and budgets can be developed based on one or a combination of: * Groups according to asset performance, condition priority, inspection frequency, complaint response, standards of service or other key business performance indicators * The extent and detail of reporting e.g. standard testing and inspection reports or customized reports * Grab sampling, continuous monitoring and potential for remote monitoring * Analysis and reporting of results by NATA registered testing and service providers e.g. non-destructive testing, structural analysis or chemical analysis * Planned work effort in accordance with safe work method statements, site-based job plans and the client’s management systems * Planning for shut-downs and network interruption in consideration of the client’s policies, processes and procedures * Consideration of regulatory or legislated requirements such as Australian Standards, guidelines and codes of practice.
