Course Overview
The reliability of water treatment plant maintenance is decided at design and procurement, long before the first breakdown. Maintenance budgets are cut on plant maintenance in good years and paid for in bad ones. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the engineering and maintenance work capability and revise it on evidence. Comparative studies of water treatment plant maintenance across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Ambition around this aspect of engineering and maintenance work outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a maintenance procedure for plant maintenance as they go. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for water treatment plant maintenance, not for observers of it. It treats plant maintenance as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The programme closes with an action plan for this area of engineering and maintenance work that each participant writes for their own organisation.

- Name a single owner for each element of plant maintenance.
- Compare the cost of water treatment plant maintenance with the cost of its absence.
- Collect evidence on the present handling of plant maintenance before proposing changes.
Session 2Choosing a maintenance strategy for plant maintenance on evidence
- Update drawings and documentation after every modification to water treatment plant maintenance.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates plant maintenance is under control.
- Define acceptance criteria for completed work on water treatment plant maintenance.
- Map the handovers in plant maintenance between functions and secure them.
Plant maintenance: choosing the right maintenance strategy
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Comparing plant maintenance with recognised practice
- Define the trigger that would require water treatment plant maintenance to be redesigned.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for plant maintenance.
- Review the last twelve months of maintenance history for water treatment plant maintenance.

Session 2The decisions in plant maintenance that cannot be delegated
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of water treatment plant maintenance current.
- Set escalation thresholds for plant maintenance that work out of hours.
- Choose the maintenance strategy for water treatment plant maintenance based on failure pattern, not tradition.

Plant maintenance: turnarounds, contractors and scope control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Repair or replace: making the case on plant maintenance
- Investigate repeat failures on water treatment plant maintenance to root cause, not to component.
- Rehearse the briefing on plant maintenance that would follow an incident.
- Rank the weaknesses in water treatment plant maintenance by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- List the credible failure modes of plant maintenance and the consequence of each.
Session 2Isolating water treatment plant maintenance safely before work begins
- Reduce the variation in how water treatment plant maintenance is carried out between teams.
- Record who is competent to work on plant maintenance and when requalification is due.
- Agree what will be standardised in water treatment plant maintenance and what will not.
- Confirm that contractual obligations around plant maintenance are understood.
Plant maintenance: condition monitoring and warning time
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Moving plant maintenance from approval to execution
- Check that records of water treatment plant maintenance answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Set maintenance indicators for plant maintenance that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Assign a criticality rating to water treatment plant maintenance that drives work order priority.
- Estimate the true cost of one hour of unplanned downtime on plant maintenance.
Session 2How plant maintenance actually fails, and how much warning you get
- Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on water treatment plant maintenance.
- Calculate the ratio of planned to reactive work on plant maintenance.
- Define the turnaround scope for water treatment plant maintenance and freeze it before mobilisation.
- Define acceptance criteria for plant maintenance in advance.
