Total Asset
Management
Whether you are operating single or multiple sites, NSB is equipped to supply the maintenance plan, the coatings you need, as well as ongoing advice and support to help you optimise your coating’s life.
What is Total Asset Management?
Total asset management takes a long-term approach to caring for infrastructure, keeping assets safe, reliable and fit for purpose throughout their working life. It brings together condition assessments, maintenance planning and timely repairs to address issues before they become costly problems.
NSB helps protect and extend asset life through practical maintenance, specialist surface treatments and protective coatings. By planning work around each asset’s condition and operating needs, we help reduce disruption and make maintenance budgets go further.
Asset Management Strategy
Our AMS pinpoints the most cost effective maintenance, coupled with correct coatings and qualified applicators.
A robust Asset Management Strategy (AMS) gives you:
Tighter Control Of Budget
Extended Life of Asset
Proven Coating System
Managed Yet Flexible Maintenance
Less Overall Coating Spend
Payment Plan to Suit
How We Work
1. Access
Environmental Classification
Including the corrosivity rate for the structure. This allows for the rate of breakdown to be estimated and durability expectations to be figured.
Full Photographic Audit
A full photographic audit of the structure. To allow for breakdown comparisons to be completed after later inspections.
Existing Coatings Specification
Coating audit including coating types and thicknesses.
Current Coatings
Assess coatings in relation to industry standards, covering areas such as adhesion and rust grade.
Degree Of Steel Loss
Structural assessment conducted if necessary.
Future Maintenance
Assess whether a minor or major maintenance plan is required, or a simple re-inspection.
Coatings Specification
Future maintenance, including reasoning.
Budget Costings
Pricing system for work and maintenance programme.
2. Prioritise
Assessments are correlated into a spreadsheet and prioritised by maintenance requirements and expected timings.
The spreadsheet allows for future budgeting to be determined for a much extended period and work plans to be devised.
3. Specify
Specifications are then determined and contract quality plans and inspection test plans written. These plans are peer reviewed by independent parties for accuracy.
4. Works
The final component is the physical works, be it minor or major maintenance, or re-inspection to monitor degradation.
