Starting from the purchase of heavy equipment and following through to the end of its economic life, this manual explains how to efficiently maintain and operate different types of heavy equipment. Assigning heavy equipment to different projects and utilizing them in varied systems is a large part of construction operation; ensuring everything is monitored consistently and maintained accordingly is essential. This book aids engineers in facilitating straightforward, consistent reporting systems and cost-efficient equipment use. This is particularly of note to the construction industry. Features: • Enables engineers to save time and money on maintenance costs and maximize the availability of the heavy equipment • Provides comprehensive coverage of methods and procedures for heavy equipment management • Provides charts for practical use by engineers in the field, e.g., mapping out a maintenance schedule • Includes chapters on maintenance and field operations organization, including safety and security organization This book will be of interest to construction engineers, plant engineers, mechanical engineers, maintenance plant and field engineers.

This handbook includes a CD-ROM containing spreadsheet templates and other information that can be used to develop an inspection program for pressure vessels, piping, and other equipment in a power plant or other industrial facilities. Assisting users in developing an inspection program, the Handbook provides guidance with the following functions: framing an inquiry; collecting and formatting the relevant data; analyzing the data; obtaining failure probability vs. time and other useful information; performing system analysis when necessary; and mathematically determining the correct sequence and timing for a series of major maintenance activities. The CD-ROM also includes an alternative flow chart that links to abbreviated versions of the step-by-step procedures. The Handbook identifies known areas where safety exposures exist and suggests ways in which these exposures can be addressed.
