Field Electrical Testing Service

But it doesn’t have to fail.

Preventive Maintenance Services from AlBusaili will evaluate the condition of your equipment and determine the most cost-effective and manageable solution to guarantee its overall performance, safety and reliability.

Elements of a good preventive maintenance program should include the following:

  • Identification of equipment or systems that may malfunction
  • Typical equipment to be inspected including switchgear, circuit breakers, transformers, switches, etc.
  • Establishment of schedules and procedures for routine inspections
  • Inventory of spare parts for equipment that needs frequent repairs
  • Periodic testing of plant equipment for structural soundness
  • Prompt repair or replacement of defective equipment found during inspection and testing
  • Use of an organized record-keeping system to schedule tests and document inspections
  • Commitment to ensure that records are complete and detailed, and that they record test results and follow-up actions
  • Preventive maintenance inspection records should be kept with other visual inspection records

Expertise includes: Commercial Applications

Let us help you design and implement a preventive maintenance strategy that will reduce your overall maintenance costs and the amount of time spent on unplanned unexpected maintenance. And more significantly, improve the overall reliability throughout your facility. AlBusaili is taking a new look at preventive and predictive maintenance by combining well-established engineering principles with cost-effective programs and technology that make maintenance manageable throughout your facility. Our investments in state of the art instrumentation and automated testing have formed efficient electrical maintenance programs that identify factors that lead to equipment deterioration. Once these factors have been identified we then provide measures for correcting these effects and improving the overall performance, reliability and life cycle cost of your system.

Preventative Maintenance Services

AlBusaili’s preventative maintenance services provide our customers with the peace of mind that their power system is functioning properly, safely, and reliably.

A properly maintained electrical system will function correctly and its protective features will minimize equipment damage when called upon to perform. Fewer equipment failures will keep operational costs to a minimum and can extend the life of the system as a whole.
