Preventative Maintenance vs Reactive Maintenance

Save TIME, Unnecessary disruption, and Save MONEY.

Whilst we all know a “vigilant” engineer maintaining any type of mechanical equipment is an absolute must, you would be surprised to know the number of emergency call-outs the ASL team attends each year. 

More often than not, the systems in question have not undergone a sufficient maintenance regime, and this inevitably leads to some level of reactive maintenance being required.

There are two obvious benefits to adopting a preventative maintenance routine. 

Firstly, the equipment will last longer. In the current economic climate, where inflation is hitting most of our pockets, no customer wants to be hit with a bill for having to overhaul a treatment plant or pumping station, nor do we want to be the ones to have to tell them.

Secondly, have you considered the increased downtime that equipment failures can lead to? Have you got the time to waste? Reduced plant productivity and minor wear and tear quickly built up to major failures. 

The potential to breach Environment Agency binding rules by polluting nearby rivers and lakes, which may lead to reputational risk. 

As you can see, a lack of preventative maintenance can open you up to the risk of spiralling costs and downtime the longer you leave it.

Here at ASL Limited, we are trying to change the way our customers prioritise the need for preventative maintenance.
