| Development of Maintenance Plans for a large Integrated Bulk Materials Handling organization |
| Develop maintenance plans for bulk grain depots and port facilities across Queensland. This project involved developing an equipment register, equipment numbering systems and the creation and implementation of maintenance plans for each machine across multiple sites. |
| |
| Development of a Condition Monitoring program for New Zealand Power Utility |
| Develop structured Condition Monitoring programs for Hydro electric generators, Gas Turbine - combined cycle generators and Geothermal generators for a NZ power utility. |
| |
| Development of a Condition Monitoring and NDT program for a new Coal Wash Plant in New South Wales |
| Develop a Condition Monitoring program for a new, greenfield site coal wash plant in the NSW Hunter region. This project involved carrying out a Risk Assessment of the plant, equipment, components and failure modes on which the Condition Monitoring program was based. The final CM program was then linked to those assets of greatest significance to the organization ensuring that resources were targeted and costs optimised. |

| Development of a Condition Monitoring and NDT program for new Coal Wash Plants in Queensland |
| Develop a Condition Monitoring program for new, greenfield site coal wash plant near MacKay in Queensland. This project involved carrying out a Risk Assessment of the plant, equipment, components and failure modes on which the Condition Monitoring program was based. The final CM program was then linked to those assets of greatest significance to the organization ensuring that resources were targeted and costs optimised. |
| |
| Development of Maintenance Systems for Petroleum Refineries in Queensland and New South Wales |
 |
This project involved the updating of the Asset register, development and implementation of a Criticality Assessment methodology for rotating equipment, the development of criticality based Maintenance Plans, an assessment of critical equipment spares using SCAS and facilitation of several Root Cause Analysis workshops.
These components form the basis of the planned maintenance systems for these sites allowing a transition from reactive work to planned and scheduled maintenance work. |
| |
|
| Audit Non Destructive Testing (NDT) program at a world class Alumina Refinery |
| Conducted a systems level audit of the NDT program in use at this world class Alumina Refinery. The audit looked at the structure of the existing program and identified several areas where the existing program could be improved. In addition, an alternative program structure was identified and recommended that would increase the potential for value adding by the contractor saving the client money as well as improving the effectiveness of the program. |
| |
| Audit Maintenance Systems for multiple large Industrial Laundries in Ireland |
| Conducted a site wide audit of maintenance system, procedures and methodologies at several industrial laundries in Ireland. These laundries have steam raising plant, large, steam heated washing and drying equipment including Continuous Batch Washers (CBW’s). Maintenance practices were audited and recommendations made along with a project plan for implementing the recommendations. |
| |
| Upgrading of Maintenance Systems for Large Construction Industry supplier in Australia |
 |
Conducted a multiple site audit of maintenance systems, procedures and methodologies at quarries to identify current practice and develop an organization wide improvement plan.
A maintenance improvement plan was developed as well as a timetable to achieve specific targets. A maintenance improvement program was designed to meet the needs of the client and the various components are currently being established and implemented. |
| Initially, a couple of pilot sites were selected and the improvement program started at these sites. This allowed the client to see the various maintenance functions in action and to refine these before rolling them out across the remaining sites. The clients staff were heavily involved in the development and implementation of the program which ensured the skills transfer necessary to maintain the program once it is established. |

|
| Development of Asset Management plans for Waste Water Treatment Co-Generation plant |
| This project involved carrying out an assessment of the Sewage Gas Co-Generation plant and developing an Asset Register, Functional Description/Failure Consequences, Criticality Analysis, Maintenance Plan and Spare-parts Plan for the plant. This was a new venture for the client therefore little in-house knowledge or experience was available and JAHCon was required to develop these systems from scratch. |
| |
| Computer Modeling of a Waste Water Pump Station |
| This project arose when one of two (partial) stand-by units was scrapped following gross failure leaving the main duty pump with effectively no redundancy. The model was developed to represent the main components of the pump station and a mix of historical data, library data and experience was used to populate the model. The experiments were designed to determine the Reliability and Availability for various combinations of installed spares as well as for different spares holdings strategies. A complicating factor was that the expected life of the plant before major rebuild was less than five years. |
| |
| Failure Modes Effects & Criticality Analysis for a Waste Water Treatment Plant |
JAHCon was commissioned to carry out a FMECA on a selected set of assets at a Waste Water Treatment Plant as part of a pilot study to develop systems, procedures and practices which would be rolled out across the organisation over time.
A comprehensive FMEA/FMECA solution was prepared based on BS5760-Part 5/MIL-STD-1629A and all prompt sheets, guides and other aids to a consistent and comprehensive FMEA/FMECA were developed as part of this process. |

| Paper Mill Coating Kitchen Review |
 |
| This project involved a detailed assessment of current Coating Kitchen and associated equipment with a view to optimising the operations. Changes to process layout, additional equipment and automation as well as changes to existing supplier contracts provided a significant opportunity for the mill. |
| |
|
| Project Management |
JAHCon has been commissioned on a number of occasions to manage multiple, relatively small projects within the Pulp and paper industry. In this role JAHCon provides the industry and consulting expertise to take these projects from concept stage to ready for implementation.
|
| RAMS study of a Sulphur Removal Plant |
The client required a RAMS study to be carried out as part of the project and JAHCon was commissioned to carry out the study. The proposed plant layout was assessed including equipment types, location, redundancy, maintenance and operating schedules etc. and a model built to represent the plant. A number of trials were run to determine if the proposed plant could meet project targets as designed and what if any changes were needed to achieve these targets. Several changes were made to equipment redundancy, spare parts holdings etc. as a result of the RAMS study. |

| Failure Analysis |
Failure analysis is undertaken to learn lessons from previous failures so that future failures can be prevented or their impact reduced. In practice Failure Analysis tends to be applied to those failures that have had a significant impact on the organisation or have given us such a 'scare' that we think we better have a look at the underlying problem. Failure analysis is aimed at understanding the underlying causes for a specific failure and therefore has a lot in common with Root Cause Analysis.
|
| Railway System Maintenance Audit |
This project involved reviewing existing maintenance development and implementation systems for a large rail infrastructure organisation and identifying areas where improvements could be made. Changes to maintenance strategy development and specific changes to the implementation procedures were identified.
