Maintaining service and reliability of critical assets in the water and wastewater industry

ABB Water service partner Australia

Welcome to 4 For Water, Week 4.

This week we're looking at the importance of maintaining system uptime through optimal service,  maintenance reliability, and preventative support of your critical infrastructure assets.  

Why is this so important? Water and wastewater processes must be efficient and reliable. Your drive and motor assets are aging all the time and without adequate servicing, the useful life of your assets will be reduced, impacting your planned investment programs and increasing the risk of fines due to equipment failures at critical times.  System downtime can also be detrimental when surrounding businesses and residential communities don't have access to water supply. Being reactive to get things back up and running can be extremely costly.

Whether you need to ensure the asset efficiency of your drives, motors, or other critical equipment in desalination or irrigation plants, pumping stations, municipal freshwater and wastewater treatment plants, or water and wastewater networks, it's important to partner with a provider offering a full portfolio of services to support you.  This should include upgrades, retrofits, condition monitoring, preventive maintenance, and active modernisation of your aging critical assets.
