produce and store power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a greenfield project, the client had to&nbsp;<strong>understand the long term maintenance responsibility of the microgrids.&nbsp;<\/strong>With a wide range of maintenance providers and options, we provided a tool to enable the comparison of maintenance costs, as well as advice on where maintenance tasks could be reduced via a Reliability Centred

id=\"h-developed-a-strategic-asset-management-plan-samp\"><strong>Developed a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Created in accordance with ISO 55000, the document

id=\"h-developed-an-asset-management-plan-template\"><strong>Developed an Asset Management Plan Template<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The AMP served as a blueprint for a tactical plan that was utilised

The following steps were completed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Worked with 3rd party vendors to obtain maintenance data and cost profiles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collected and scrubbed the data set for each site<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Created a Data Gap Analysis Report<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reconciled a Client Gap Analysis Report for Maintenance and Cost information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Created a Maintenance Summary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reliability-model\"><strong>Reliability Model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed a reliability model for mutually agreed equipment systems.

The following steps were completed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Analysed and provided engineering level review of reliability data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generated a Reliability Report to
