  • Equipment details and current condition concerns
  • Recent repair or maintenance information
  • Known recurring failures
  • Current and expected operating requirements
  • Questions about this service

    The decision should consider its condition, current performance, operating requirements and whether further investment in the existing equipment remains practical.

     

    No. Age alone does not determine the decision. The condition of the equipment and what the operation requires from it matter more.

     

    Yes. Where the existing equipment remains suitable, refurbishment may be worth assessing before replacement is considered.

     

    It focuses on the condition of the relevant equipment, known problems, maintenance history where available and the performance required from the plant.
