4. Construction equipment maintenance: why does it matter?

   Posted on 9:00am Wednesday 3rd Aug 2022

   Instead of a reactive, unscheduled, post-breakdown approach to equipment repair, construction equipment maintenance is a proactive, scheduled strategy. This means that proactively preventing machine failure rather than reactively fixing machines is far more cost-effective.

   Routine maintenance and preventative maintenance are the two basic types of construction equipment maintenance. With a few exceptions, both work together to extend the life of your equipment and keep operations going smoothly.

   1. Significant savings

   Poorly maintained equipment invariably results in greater costs due to rentals, replacements, downtime, and time spent below peak efficiency. Renting a secondhand piece of equipment that costs $10,000 and lasts five years, for example, may cost $1,000 per week.

   Downtime expenses have also been estimated to be between $100 and $350 per hour. Maintaining periodic maintenance and avoiding typical blunders will dramatically minimize these costs, allowing you to complete each task on time or ahead of schedule. 

   2. Site security

   Machines that have been mismanaged are both dangerous and expensive. While slips are the most common cause of fatality in the construction sector, the "fatal four" also includes falling objects, electrocutions, and deadly compression by machines and materials.

   Many of these events can be avoided, as well as the risk of costly fines, if businesses maintain their equipment properly.

   3. Maximizing uptime

   While putting an asset on the shelf for a few hours of maintenance isn't inexpensive, it's significantly less expensive than losing an asset for days while it's fixed after a breakdown.

   The former is a minor annoyance that you can work into your schedule, whilst the latter derail productivity and reduce profitability. You can also ensure that normal maintenance is minimally disruptive with the correct management system.

   4. Increasing efficiency

   Equipment uptime isn't the only measure to keep track of. You could keep an asset running for weeks or months before ordering maintenance, but that time will almost certainly be wasted.

   Even the finest-built machines require routine maintenance to function at their optimum, and sticking to a maintenance schedule allows your personnel to avoid the compromises and slowdowns that eat into revenues.

   5. Greater ROI

   Defaulting repair may save money in the coming years, but it almost always leads to increased costs over time.

   By following basic maintenance methods, you may get the most out of your equipment on every job and avoid purchasing new equipment for years. Meanwhile, every year you keep an asset in service is another year of depreciation on your books.

   6. Certification and accreditation

   There are various task-specific associations ranging from concrete manufacture to corrosion management.

   Acquiring and maintaining these organizations' accreditation may necessitate stringent, well-documented equipment maintenance procedures as well as a proven track record of worker and workplace safety.

   7. Insurance

   Insurers want to see that you're doing everything you can to keep your costs low, whether it's for worker's compensation or asset protection. You'll be able to demonstrate your diligence in maintaining an insured asset operational if it breaks down.

   8. Warranty protection

   Manufacturers' guarantees are great for preventing excessive expenditures associated with faults and early breakdowns, but they are often conditional on the operators' maintenance habits.

   Some machine parts may eventually need to be replaced, and if you've kept your end of the agreement, you may be eligible for free replacements.

   How to plan for a successful construction equipment maintenance process?

   The most hardest obstacle to overcome is persuading staff to commit to a routine preventative maintenance program. Leading by example is the finest way to do it. When a group notices that a corporation is taking its equipment maintenance plan seriously, they will naturally follow suit.

   1. Make a maintenance program for your equipment

   Following a regular maintenance plan is an important part of a successful construction equipment maintenance program. Maintenance intervals could be determined in a variety of methods, including:

   ● According to machine hours of operation (every 5,000 hours)

   ● Duration of time (every four weeks)

   ● Travel distance (every 10,000 km)

   ● According to climate concerns in the area (rainy season, humidity, snow, temperature fluctuations)    

   The best maintenance schedule will be determined by the manufacturer's recommendations for each machine and piece of equipment. Car Workshop Manuals For Sale will be able to anticipate maintenance chores and organize their work accordingly if they stick to maintenance schedules.

   2. Maintain records of maintenance

   Construction equipment management requires meticulous record-keeping. A solid maintenance strategy is useless unless data on each machine's service history is kept.

   Regular maintenance should be documented in writing, either on paper or electronically, and organized by machine type. The date, type of service conducted, any anomalies discovered, any parts replaced, and details for the next service should all be included in this paperwork.

   Keeping accurate records can help you keep track of all the services performed on all of your gear, provide you with a clear picture of the equipment's history, and enable you to draw patterns to identify whether machinery is producing the best or worst Return on Investment.

   If an equipment breaks down or if you need to file a warranty claim, having documentation is essential. These records, for example, can be used as unambiguous proof of regular servicing if the equipment maker files a claim for equipment care.

   3. Create an equipment maintenance checklist

   Having an equipment maintenance checklist on hand ensures that no detail is missed, as well as holding people in charge of the preventive maintenance program accountable. Do you have no idea where to start?

   This heavy machinery maintenance checklist has been put together with maintenance advice divided down by daily checks versus operational hours.

   Conclusion

   Maintenance of construction equipment is critical to increasing the life of your machinery. You may limit the number of repairs to your equipment and keep it in good working order for longer with these tactics.

5. Motorcyclist sustains brain injury after collision with car

   Posted on 3:00pm Tuesday 2nd Aug 2022

   Over £5 million in compensation for young man who was riding motorcycle

   Dean* was riding his motorcycle along an A road when the approaching car on the opposite side of the road suddenly, unexpectedly and without warning attempted to turn right across Dean’s path, causing a collision and causing him to be thrown from his motorcycle.

   Dean, aged 22 at the time of the accident, suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of the collision with extensive right and left temporal and parietal haemorrhage and contusions with fractures of the left parietal and left temporal bones. He also sustained an injury to his chest with contusions to the lungs and a fracture of the right femur.

   As a result of the brain injury, Dean has a significant ongoing disability. He suffers from impairment of cognitive function, struggles with initiation and motivation, and requires prompting.

   Since the accident, Dean has experienced personality change and suffers from low mood. He suffers from poor memory and poor concentration. His mobility is restricted, and he experiences high levels of fatigue.

   Dean lacks the capacity to manage his property and financial affairs and so a Deputy was appointed by the Court of Protection.

   We were successful in reaching a lump sum compensation award of over £2,000,000 for Dean as well as an annual payment for life of over £48,000 per annum, which equates to over £5 million overall.

   Jeanne Evans, Partner in personal injury at Potter Rees Dolan who acted for Dean, said:

   “My young client suffered life changing injuries in this accident. His commitment to his rehabilitation, for which he should be commended, combined with the support of his loving family, he has achieved wonderful progress which has been a pleasure to witness over the years since the accident. The settlement achieved means that he can continue, to maintain his gains, to build on that progress and be able to make plans for his future.”

   * The names and identifying details of the client have been changed to protect the privacy of individuals involved.
