Building for reliability, in partnership with EPC and Project Management companies

Siveco has pioneered the concept of implementing maintenance systems during the construction of a plant, thus supporting start-up and enforcing good preventive maintenance habits from day one. Although we sometimes work directly for the owner, we often involve in projects together with engineering and construction companies. Such relationship falls under our Value Added Partner Program, where the EPC or Project Management company brings specific value added:

– Existing relationship with the customer
– Knowledge of customer’s requirements from the early stage of a project (before construction starts)
– Direct involvement in the construction/engineering process, i.e. ability to influence future operation/maintenance (see chart below)

On the other hand, Siveco brings unique know-how of maintenance in China and an unparalleled experience working on reliability engineering from the construction stage, an area unfamiliar for most EPC companies operating in the Chinese market.

Depending on the end-client’s needs, we may act as a subcontractor of the EPC or PM company, or work independently (business introduction by EPC, direct contract with end-client, and cooperation onsite with EPC team as needed for the project).

For more information on the importance of preparing maintenance early, also see this article “Reliability – Preparing maintenance from the construction stage“.

Optimized use of your own team, through a rapid deployment of Siveco resources on site, an unmatched combination of engineering and maintenance skills and an expert back-office support team in Shanghai. Your engineers are then free to concentrate on your core competencies and priorities.

Our engineers record events and failures into our web-based management system COSWIN. Experts back at the office can then view and analyze reports. At the end of the project, the full technical database can be handed over to the plant owner, a unique Siveco feature, ensuring no knowledge is lost.

With BYJC-Fabricom Assembly Line Co. (www.byjc-fabricom.com.cn): BYJC designs and deliver assembly lines. Support for the commissioning of a high-tech production line for a leading German automotive supplier, training of maintenance staff and maintenance preparation in order to transfer advanced knowledge and support production startup with tough delivery constraints. See detailed case study here.

With AES International (http://www.aes-international.fr/index_en.php): AES International is a construction project management consultancy. Siveco has provided engineers on several greenfield projects in Shanghai, Beijing, Jiangsu and Guizhou: operating within AES own project teams both for industrial utilities and production lines, with a focus on maintenance-related issues.

With ABB Utilities (www.abb.com.cn): ABB is one of the world’s leading engineering company. Data collection, technical documentation and implementation of a CMMS for a gas turbine power plant under construction by China National Electrical Equipment Company (CNEEC) in Malaysia. ABB acts as subcontractor of CNEEC for automation (DCS), with Siveco as subcontractor of ABB for this project. See project announcement here.
