Reliability: the key to success for big projects
Whenit comes to big infrastructure projects, mining, and major construction, reliable heavy plant and equipment is a major factor in project delivery – especially for SME contractors who have been engaged to support major works.
For example, the West Gate Tunnel in Melbourne, Australia, will see approximately 1.5 million cubic meters of rock and soil removed. Digging up this amount of soil to build the West Gate Tunnels will be a 24/7 operation and involve multiple contractors – above and below ground.
Machinery failure has the potential to dramatically set back work - for a project this big, that can impat the routines of an entire city. As such, reliability is essential for these types of major works.
In addition to providing access to equipment that isn't available in-house, heavy equipment rental protects operators from the risks of machinery failure. Instead of relying on ageing heavy plant, equipment hire offers late-model machinery, with catalogues that are regularly updated with newer and more reliable models.
Howeer, that isn't the only way machinery hire can be more reliable:
- Ongoing preventative maintenance ensures equipment is serviced to a high level
- Adherence to national and international standards for reliability and maintenance
- Replacement machinery in the event of breakdown
- Flexible contracts, pricing, and rental agreements
All of which protects oeprators from the effects of berakdown and increase reliability.
