Operational Readiness Assurance (ORA)

provides confidence that a plant has

met in the first years of the assets life.
ORA is a rigorous process spanning
engineering,construction,commissioning,
handover and operation that ensures faster
ramp-up with fewer delays.
Systems, procedures and training to
support the maintenance and operation of
the asset gives confidence to the operations
and does not result in a reduction of the

The application of ORA ensures the asset

- How and what results to measure
The continuous review and improve
process requires the gathering
and analysis of data relating to
equipment performance, building on
the accumulated knowledge.
Excessive or inappropriate
maintenance generates risks to
integrity and productivity through
unnecessary interruptions and
shutdowns as well as increasing
OPEX.

Our structured and diligent approach

is based upon:

Larastia

AMEC draw upon a global

knowledge pool, developed
over almost 40 years of industry
experience to provide this expertise
across the full asset lifecycle. Our
risk based maintenance strategies,
optimised operational strategies
and collaborative procedures and
performance standards deliver
maximum value to OPEX.
There are many tools and
techniques available to enhance and
improve maintenance, reliability and
availability and AMEC are practised
in each, however we concur with the
belief that great companies are great
because they simply do the basics
very well.
AMEC is a focused supplier of highvalue consultancy, engineering,
operations and project management
services to the worlds energy, power
and process industries.
