Preventive Maintenance Programs
Each airport infrastructure system is configured differently and requires maintenance routines adapted to individual airports. Equans Services Inc’s combines industry leading standards and longstanding experience in tailoring maintenance regimes for equipment, parts and replacement strategies. Our integrated solutions delivered to the airport services market focus on performance, reliability and reduction of downtime costs.
Preventive maintenance programs enable systems such as baggage handling system (BHS) to perform at their optimal level by limiting downtime through the prioritization of parts and processes that have greater dependencies. The programs also represent the cornerstone of our life cycle approach, prolonging the useful lifespan of technical airport assets while employing predictive techniques to identify and prevent system issues before they fail. Our airport customers are driven by the following key activities we provide:
- Optimize preventive tasks and reduce corrective maintenance, resulting in improved asset performance and compliance with applicable laws, codes, and regulations,
- Put equipment reliability at the forefront of maintenance priorities through conditional maintenance and predictive maintenance,
- Maximize equipment service life (i.e., lifecycle approach) and implement updated manufacturer recommendations,
- Plan maintenance regimes to improve availability and reduce downtime costs in line with key performance indicators.
