Asset Management & Reliability Engineering Consultants for Australian Mining, Food Processing & Manufacturing
We ran reliability inside the majors. Now we run it on your assets.
Our senior team came up inside Rio Tinto, BHP, Alcoa and MMG. We bring that hands-on reliability engineering and asset management consulting to mining, food processing and manufacturing operators across Australia. Reliability run by people who maintained the assets, not advised from the outside.

Stuck firefighting?
Chasing failures instead of getting ahead of them.
When the team lives in breakdowns, every fix is a workaround and the backlog never clears. We find the failure modes driving it and get you in front of the work:
- The failure modes driving your downtime
- PM rebuilt around how the kit fails
- A breakdown backlog that starts to shrink
Trusted by operators across mining, energy, food and rail
Beyond the report
You get more than a report
We work alongside your people to find the real causes of poor reliability, rank them by what they cost, and help you put fixes in place that hold.
Advice from people who ran the assets
Every recommendation comes from engineers who ran reliability inside operating mines and plants. We test it against your failure history, your asset criticality and your operating context, so the call survives contact with the floor, not just the boardroom.
Findings you can act on, not a binder
The Assessment quantifies what poor reliability is costing you and names the failure modes driving it. You leave with the gaps ranked by dollars and risk, and a plan your team owns. FMECA, RCM and ReliaSoft modelling sit underneath, pointed at the biggest drivers of downtime.
Decades inside the majors.
Our senior team came up inside Rio Tinto, BHP, Alcoa and MMG, including 30 years inside Rio Tinto and reliability engineering at BHP’s Escondida. Managing Director Dave Alexander holds a Master of Maintenance and Reliability from Monash University and chaired the Victorian Asset Management Council. Every member of our leadership team has run reliability assessments throughout their careers.
What we do
Reliability work that pays for itself
For operators without the time, people or in-house expertise to get ahead of reliability on their own.
Reliability Engineering
Do you actually know how your equipment fails? Most strategies can’t answer that. They’re OEM defaults, bloated by years of added tasks, or migrated from an old CMMS. None built on a real failure mode. So you burn resources on tasks that add nothing, change good components before they’re spent, and still break down on the failure modes nobody addressed. We rebuild the strategy using FMECA, RCM and criticality, so every task earns its place.
Maintenance Management
Reactive maintenance burns the budget and never clears the backlog. We get the team ahead of the work: PM tied to real failure modes, condition monitoring on the assets that warrant it, jobs planned instead of chased, and downtime you can see coming.
The Reliability Margin
From a cost centre to a margin you can show
Reliability done right stops being a budget line you defend and starts being a number you report. The Reliability Margin is the gap between what unreliability costs you now and what it costs once the failure modes are under control. The Assessment puts the first figure on the table.
For divested-asset operators
Bought a Tier 1 asset off a major? You got the equipment, not the systems
When a major sells a mine, the data transfers but the integrity doesn’t. Work instructions, PM logic and master data arrive scrambled, detached from their failure modes, and unfit for the CMMS they land in. We ran reliability inside those operations, so we know what good looked like before the handover.
We rebuild it on the assets you now run: work instructions under version control, PM tied to failure modes, and master data your CMMS can trust.
Where we work
Industries we work in
Delivered across Australia, New Zealand and internationally. The hardest reliability environments there are, with a method that transfers straight onto your line.
Apollo Root Cause Analysis
Australia’s only Certified Apollo RCA Facilitators
The same failures keep coming back when the investigation stops at the symptom and never reaches the cause. Apollo Root Cause Analysis is a cause-and-effect process that aligns the people in the room on what happened and the most effective way to stop it recurring.
We are directly trained and certified by the team at Apollo, and the method is becoming a standard approach to incident investigation across heavy industry. We run public courses, on-site training and independent facilitation, supported by RC Pro software.
ReliaSoft Software
The exclusive ReliaSoft reseller in Australia and New Zealand
ReliaSoft handles the quantitative side of reliability: Weibull and life data analysis, RBD and RAM modelling, FMEA and RCM. Engineers across mining, rail and utilities use it to put numbers behind maintenance, asset management and design decisions.
As the sole ANZ distributor, we supply the software, the training and the engineering experience to apply it on real assets.
Proof on real assets
Selected case studies
From dragline FMECAs to master-data rebuilds and RAM modelling across mining, rail and utilities.

What is unreliability costing you?
The Reliability Assessment is our front door. We come on site, diagnose the failure modes driving your downtime and cost, and quantify the gap in dollars. Fixed scope, fixed fee, and a plan you own at the end. Whatever comes next is scoped from what we find.
