This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Preventive and Predictive Maintenance. It covers the various types and importance of maintenance; the fundamentals of preventive maintenance and its application in civil engineering; the predictive maintenance techniques and reliability-centered maintenance (RCM); the specific roles of civil engineers in maintaining infrastructure in the petroleum industry; the maintenance management systems (MMS) as the digital systems used to manage and track maintenance activities; and the maintenance schedules for civil infrastructure.
Further, the course will also discuss the monitoring and inspection of critical civil assets like buildings, foundations and pipelines; the routine maintenance tasks and the importance of proper documentation and record-keeping in preventive maintenance programs; managing maintenance budgets and resources; prioritizing maintenance tasks based on risk assessments for petroleum infrastructure; the condition-based maintenance (CBM), non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, vibration analysis and thermographic inspections; and monitoring the condition of structures by analyzing wear debris and surface degradation.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the collection and analysis of data from infrastructure to predict maintenance needs; optimizing preventive maintenance schedules using data to refine and improve preventive maintenance schedules for civil assets; integrating predictive and preventive maintenance strategies for optimal results; implementing condition monitoring systems (CMS), using failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA) and improving maintenance planning for civil engineers; the lifecycle cost analysis and safety in maintenance operations; incorporating sustainability into maintenance practices to reduce environmental impact and resource usage; the Lean and Six Sigma principles; and conducting maintenance audits and assessing performance using key metrics.
