Actuators play a vital role in the safe and efficient operation of many process plants. For these installations actuator failure can cause complete plant shut-down or result in safety related incidents. With some installations using in excess of a thousand actuators, component failure must be avoided. Consequently routine scheduled inspections and planned maintenance are stipulated.
SIPOS has extensive experience in the setup and implementation of scheduled inspection and planned maintenance schemes, which are individually tailored to the meet the needs of specific plants. Whether it be in conventional or nuclear plants, three-shift operation or weekend work, SIPOS technical expertise and competence guarantees the highest level of quality and reliability to provide the plant operator with complete peace of mind.
The safety critical nature of nuclear installations requires the highest level of servicing integrity. In these plants the implementation of planned maintenance on SIPOS/Siemens actuators is performed using actuator-specific maintenance instructions. This guarantees high quality and consistent inspection/maintenance work on each actuator, including the preparation of all relevant documentation. Additional plant specific work and documentation can also be carried out at the request of the customer.
