Maintenance Projects

Are security considerations incorporated into internal design and construction standards for new facilities/ infrastructure and major maintenance projects ... 

All procedural controls must be reviewed periodically in order to ensure that they remain accurate and effective. Where appropriate, a number of topics may be combined into a single written procedure. Wherever possible, procedures should be established at a level allowing them to be utilized across a number of implementation and maintenance projects and systems. When new procedures are needed, existing written procedures are reviewed to determine if they can be upgraded to include new requirements or processes. Redundant procedures must be avoided. 

Town, village or county construction/maintenance projects. Utilities, railroads, pipeline companies, canals. 

Cost-reduction projects are aimed at reducing the cost of production of an existing plant. The most common cost-reduction investments are for preventive maintenance, in which equipment is replaced, repaired, or cleaned after a planned interval and before the equipment deteriorates to the point where it could impact process performance or safety. Most preventive maintenance projects are small and are handled through the plant maintenance budget, but some can be very large, expensive projects requiring a major plant shutdown, for example, replacing the fired tubes in a main... 

Construction and maintenance materials used by home residents are identical to those used commercially by safety-trained professionals. Whereas professional users are required to undergo training for the safe use of hazardous chemical products, home users are under no such constraint. As a result, people are exposed to numerous toxic exposures in the home. A representative list of products containing toxic chemicals that are regularly used in home maintenance projects is shown in Table 11.7. 

Despite its maturity, the trade sales market has reasonably good growth potentlal-because of the pent-up demand for new housing and the proclivity of the buying public to engage in home maintenance projects during times of recession. 

Development and management of cost estimates and budgets for maintenance projects and their distribution to various other operating departments.

The ten-yearly statutory maintenance project, responsible for the 3 ten-yearly inspection of all the elements subject to regulations. 

After several fatiguing hours of work on a maintenance project, it was time to lock out and tag out the electrical power, for which a detailed procedure was in place. An employee, feehng the pressure to get the job done immediately so that production could be re-commenced, chose not to follow the procedure. He was electrocuted. 

Despite the cost implications, software maintenance is generally perceived as having a low profile within the software community. Management teams have often in the past placed little emphasis on maintenance-related activities. Small advances have been made in combating these problems, and high-profile maintenance projects such as the year 2000 problem have been successful at highlighting the issues.

It is necessary to considerate that the tools and strategies to evaluate the labor productivity in industrial processes wouldn t be relevant to the ones of construction and maintenance, although the projects are made of a series of operations that present similar characteristics to industrial production. One difference between these companies lays in that the industrial production processes are in series and repetitive in short production cycles. While the industrial construction and maintenance operations are hold to variable activities, which are not repetitive and whose cycles are diverse. The industrial production and the construction and maintenance projects, require an effective and efficient management, although these latters exhibit a higher dynamic behavior and... 

There are a large amount of factors that affect in distinct ways the construction projects" productivity therefore the negative factors should be identified to decrease or eliminate their effect. The productivity in maintenance projects is the measurement of the efficiency with which the resources are managed to complete a specific project, within an established time line and with a high quality standard [1]. One can speak of different classes of productivity in the maintenance sector, according to the considered resources ... 

The variables that affect in different ways the productivity in the maintenance projects are very diverse. The professionals in charge of the work administration must know which of them are positive and which are negative, to act on the latters to decrease or remove its effects. 

Within the conditions that are mainly affecting the labor productivity in the industrial maintenance projects for the company under analysis are the related activities with the preparation, the downtime of workers and the time related to administrative aspects. The supplements were not higher that 9% that it s an used standard for industrial processes. With the obtained results a detailed analysis of the principal causes related to the unproductive time, preparation and administrative conditions was carried out. Shown below are the obtained results from a total of 235 records observed from workers whose categories are assistants ... 

One of the main hypotheses in this research is that the preparation times and the time dedicated to the supplements aren t adequate, this, due to the nature of the activities developed in this type of industry. The information obtained from this research will shed light above the construction and maintenance projects administration as well as the cost associated with it, in order to make a more efficient and effective use of the resources with which the company counts, thereby improving productivity and quality of the offered services by the company Aguila Mantenimiento Industrial. 

Available working space may change with the tide and may be limited especially at high tide. Movement of beach material to create local berms can increase tidal access. Moreover, working areas can be very long and narrow (sometimes several kilometres long), and, like road maintenance projects, can make supervision of health and safety difficult to manage. 

Unusual, non-routine, non-production work, work where high energy exposures are contemplated, and maintenance projects for which the scope of the work requires a determination that pre-job planning and safety analysis would be beneficial... 

Tlie BCS Review (2001) surveyed 1027 projects of which only 130 (less than 13%) were judged to be successful. Of the 500+ development projects in the sample, only 3 (0.6%) succeeded. Of the 130 successful projects, 18.2% were maintenance projects and 79.5% were data conversion projects only 2.3 % were development projects. Software development is not done well,... 

Work-order types policy. This is used to define categories of maintenance work orders. Examples include preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, projects, and call center. 

On the morning of March 23, 2005, there were lots of contractors on site for maintenance projects. Mostly, they were housed in temporary trailers near hazardous plant, including the isomerization unit. (The isomerization unit s function was to improve the octane rating of raw gasoline.) Start-up of the isomerization unit had commenced during nightshift. 

The most vulnerable parts are the cooling systems. The performance of the systems is checked weekly by running the pumps and the cooling towers. Failures and small defects are repaired, but large maintenance projects are mostly delayed. 

A large proportion of construction operations are undertaken under CDM Reguiations which require the provision of a construction phase health and safety plan which incorporates the arrangements for the management of fire safety. As part of the requirements fire risk assessments and method statements also need to be prepared for the works. Larger maintenance projects may also fall under CDM with the same requirements. 

Generally, the constmction industry involves the organizations or companies or institutes that provide the following activities survey and design, construction, installation of materials and facilities, maintenance, project and construction management, quality supervision and consultancy of various building and civil engineering projects. 

Colorado states that maintenance projects with resurfacing depth greater than or equal to 1.5 in. wiU follow 3R pro-cediues. Also, it states that safety projects do not fall under 3R procedures. 

The Preservation standard is the existing condition or the New Construction/Reconstruction standard, whichever is less, for each of the 13 controlling design elements. Exempt projects include Pavement Preventive Maintenance projects, which apply where the pavement is in good condition with significant remaining service life. Preventive Maintenance projects do not significantly increase structural capacity, but use surface or near-surface treatments to structurally sound pavements to prevent deterioration of the pavement. 

WI Yes FDM 11-25-30 Curb ramps with detectable warnings shall be installed on all state or federally funded projects with sidewalks (including resurfacing, SHRM, and Preventative Maintenance projects) where curb ramps do not exist. ... 

Seawater is often used as the source of water for water floods and water injection pressure maintenance projects offshore. Seawater contains considerable amounts of dissolved oxygen and some carbon dioxide. Bacteria in untreated seawater may also be a problem. The oxygen and carbon dioxide must be removed from the source water by either vacuum de-aeration or gas stripping prior to injection.
