Specific Challenges

Industrial, mining, and agricultural facilities face harsh operating conditions caused by chemical processes and environmental factors such as air pollution. Like all critical infrastructure, unexpected breakdowns that halt operations pose serious risks for site operators. Effective industrial facilities maintenance is essential to prevent costly downtime and extend asset life.

Industrial facilities specific challenges

  • Aging of materials (steel, wood, concrete)
  • Concrete cracking or spalling from alkaline reactions
  • Concrete carbonation
  • Chloride penetration in concrete cover
  • External chemical exposure (polluted air, acid rain)
  • Chemical attacks from stored products
  • Freeze–thaw cycles

  • Changes in stored materials
  • Heavy equipment and vibration impacts
  • Updated standards (wind, earthquake, safety)
  • Design errors or poor implementation
  • Material fatigue (moving wheel load effects)

  • Fire
  • Explosion
  • Excessive loading
  • Ground movement
