Electrical preventative maintenance and checks

Electrical preventative maintenance and checks refer to a systematic process of inspecting, testing, and servicing electrical systems and components to identify and rectify potential problems before they cause equipment damage or downtime. The importance of electrical preventative maintenance and checks cannot be overstated, as it helps ensure the safety of personnel working with or around electrical systems, minimise the risk of electrical incidents, increase the lifespan of equipment, and reduce downtime caused by unexpected breakdowns.

Statutory Testing and Reporting

(Test and Tag, RCD testing, Emergency light testing. etc)

Statutory testing and reporting refer to a set of legal requirements that need to be adhered to for ensuring that the electrical systems and equipment in a building or industrial and processing plant are safe, compliant, and functioning optimally. The tests are conducted periodically to verify compliance with the statutory requirements and ensure that the electrical systems are maintained in safe working conditions. The reports generated from these tests provide a detailed summary of the tests performed, including the results, any issues identified, and the recommended corrective actions.

Shutdown works

Shutdowns in the mining industry are critical for several reasons, each contributing to the safety, efficiency, and longevity of operation.

Maintenance and Repairs:

Mining equipment and facilities are subjected to harsh conditions and continuous use, which can lead to wear and tear. Scheduled shutdowns allow for maintenance and necessary repairs, thereby preventing unexpected breakdowns that could lead to costly delays or accidents.

Safety:

Ensuring the safety of workers is a primary concern in the mining industry. Shutdowns provide an opportunity to inspect and upgrade safety systems and equipment, helping to prevent accidents and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

Operational Efficiency:

By conducting regular assessments during shutdowns, mining operations can identify inefficiencies and implement improvements. This could include upgrading machinery, optimising processes, or installing new technology, leading to increased productivity when operations resume.

Compliance and Regulatory Inspections:

Mining operations are subject to strict environmental and safety regulations. Shutdowns allow companies to ensure compliance by conducting necessary inspections and making adjustments to meet regulatory standards.

Prolonging Equipment Lifespan:

Routine maintenance and timely repairs during shutdowns help extend the life of mining equipment, ultimately protecting capital investment and reducing long-term costs.

In summary, while shutdowns may temporarily halt production, they are a necessary part of industrial and mining operations that contribute to overall safety, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental ethicises.

Installation testing

Installation testing in the electrical industry is a critical process that involves verifying the safety, functionality and compliance of electrical installations before they are put into service. It ensures that all electrical systems and components have been installed correctly and operate safely and efficiently. Here are some reasons why installation testing is important:

Safety assurance
Compliance with standards and regulations
Preventing equipment damage
Ensuring system performance
Fault detection and troubleshooting
Documentation and record keeping
Insurance and liability

Maintenance coverage

If you find yourself in a situation where short-term Labour is necessary—perhaps because one of your regular maintenance technicians is taking time off, or there's a vacancy that hasn't yet been filled—Orana Electrical is available to meet that need.

Temporary construction power

Temporary construction power refers to the electrical supply set up to meet the power needs of a construction site during the building phase or evening during shutdowns where additional crib rooms, toilets and workshops are erected to support the additional labour on site. This power is essential to ensure that all necessary equipment and tools are operational and that the site remains safe and functional.
