Delivery considerations
Maintenance and asset management sit alongside construction in the life of an industrial facility. Their value depends on inspection data, access planning, spare parts and the ability to coordinate interventions with operating requirements. Predictive tools can help prioritize work, but physical condition and engineering judgment remain central. A service agreement documents an ongoing operating support role. It should be assessed separately from a greenfield EPC award, a capacity addition or a claim that equipment has already been replaced.
