Maintenance

Barminco’s Maintenance System, rebuild facility and skilled maintenance teams provide the benchmark for equipment reliability performance in the industry.

As the largest underground mining fleet owner globally, Barminco partners with equipment manufacturers to develop equipment improvement strategies and provide superior services.

The Barminco Maintenance System governs all aspects of Barminco’s site and fleet based maintenance activity, ensuring a consistent approach between all projects and reinforcing Barminco’s unconditional commitment to safety, environment and statutory obligations.

Barminco’s fleet standardisation policy supported by Barminco’s standardised rebuild specifications, data from its production reporting
systems, on‐site access to the entire equipment maintenance history for any piece of machinery (including modifications and improvements) allow for better than original equipment manufacturer (OEM) workshop rebuild standards.
 
Purpose built maintenance repair and rebuild facility: A purpose built 3000m2 undercover maintenance repair and rebuild facility is housed in Perth, Western Australia.
 
Data capture systems provide immediate information: All on-site maintenance supervisors can immediately access the entire equipment maintenance history of any piece of machinery when analysing site or equipment specific issues.

Reporting systems allow improvements on OEM standards: Barminco has implemented production reporting systems that provide a reliable database of key performance indicators that in turn allow improvement in maintenance programming over that provided by the OEMs.

Regular diagnostic health checks: During post‐rebuild commissioning all system operating parameters are checked against standard specifications and recorded in Barminco’s Maintenance System. Regular system health checks compare machine performance against commissioning values, providing a valuable preventative diagnostic tool.

Our highly trained and skilled teams are supported by a comprehensive and unprecedented training program for maintenance.
