Maximised Operation and Life Cycle
Hydraulic services, similar to other building components, are not afforded an infinite life cycle. Plumbing systems require ongoing regular maintenance to ensure maximised operation and a maximised life cycle.
In alignment with industry codes, standards and manufacturers product parameters, hydraulic systems have a life cycle that generally range from 5yrs years through to 50years. This life cycle is ultimately dependant on the property location, material quality, maintenance upkeep and imposed operational parameters.
To assist a property’s long-term continuation of hydraulic service assets, strategic planning assessments are conducted on hydraulic and wet fire services for the purposes of financial repair forecasting or strategic upgrade/repair planning.
This process provides long term costings and remediation timelines, based on conducted investigations which generally involve:
- Assess the function and parameters of key hydraulic service infrastructure elements.
- Assess hydraulic related plant equipment for system reliability, presence of visually evident fatigue in materials and suitability of ongoing system maintenance procedures being implemented.
- Assess failed or failing hydraulic system elements or components based on information derived from plumbing related maintenance records.
- Estimate the expected remaining life cycle of visually inspected plant and materials for the purposes of forecasting and strategic planning.
- Consider any systems or materials that could be incorporated into the hydraulic systems as pro-active maintenance intended to maximise a material lifecycle or modulate performance to meet demand, minimise system failure, thus increasing reliability of the hydraulic services at the property.
- Consider any hydraulic plant system upgrades that should be undertaken to increase system performance or decrease maintenance costs.
- Development of a forecast report that is budgeted for staged implementation on a short, medium and long-term basis, supporting strategic financial planning.
