Australian first in asset management saves 47% in operational costs

05/11/2018

In an Australian first, Downer and the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) have achieved the renewal of ISO 55001 asset management system certification for the Yarra Park Water Recycling Facility. This world-class facility treats and re-uses sewage from the local sewer network and waters the grounds surrounding the MCG.

Through the ISO 55001-certified system, the recycling facility has delivered outstanding results for the MCC, including:

• A 47 per cent operational cost saving
• Approximately 40 per cent reduction in reactive risk to operations work
• 41 per cent reliability improvement over 36 months
• Greater focus on continuous improvement activities
• 29 per cent reduction in preventive work without an increase in reactive work.

The facility utilises SECURED Asset Management by Downer™, a proprietary asset management system that incorporates a number of innovative design, construction and system features that place it at an international best practice standard.

The SECURED Asset Management by Downer™ system takes a whole of asset integrated approach that addresses the planning, operation, maintenance, support, logistics, renewal and disposal of the asset.

Downer proudly leads the way in asset management across Australia and New Zealand and this project is an example of the capabilities and achievements available to Downer customers.
