Sustainable infrastructures have become a matter of national priority in support of the “China Dream”. An elusive concept for many, merely a business opportunity for others, the China Dream is very concrete for us at Siveco China: all our projects aim at reducing the life-cycle-cost and increasing the useful lifetime of the infrastructures with our Maintenance 4.0 approach.

The “bathtub curve” maps the failure rate over time for complex electro-mechanical systems such as machines or plants. Its shape is the same all over the world, but certain characteristics of Chinese construction projects tend to result in a less optimized curve. Let us explore the bathtub curve!

In March 2014, Suez Environnement subsidiary SITA Waste Services established a joint venture with Shanghai Chemical Industry Park Investment Corporate (SCIP) and Nantong Economic Technology and Development Area Company (NETDA) for the construction and operation of a new hazardous waste plant in the Nantong Economic Technology and Development Area.

Historically, large infrastructure projects have worked with system integrators for their IT projects, due to their complexity and size. As a result, Siveco has gained a lot of experience working with such partners, providing Maintenance 4.0 software and specialist maintenance consulting.

Customers operating in very specific industries may have requirements to record data that do not exist in a standard CMMS, due to their specific processes or government regulations, certifications and standards. In 99% of the cases, the requirements are not functional: they involve adding new data fields, creating new screens or changing existing screen layout.

Siveco provides structured maintenance support services to assist customers in improving their performance, a service package known as Enhanced Maintenance Contract (EMS). As part of the EMS, Siveco performed a follow-up visit to Bostik Guangzhou on September 28th after an on-site assessment on March 24th.
