> With revenues pouring in from sectors like mining, power plant, coal and oil and gas; South Africa's economy is touted to be the largest in Africa, ahead of Nigeria and expected to grow by 8% before the end of 2014 by the African Economic Outlook 2014. Plant assets in South Africa are reaching the end of their lifespan in-spite of explorations not slowing down. To meet expected productions targets, wear and tear on plants and refineries assets are inevitable. Ageing Plant Strategies Conference is aimed to focus your entire plant asset lifecycle needs. It features a series of operationally focused case studies, lessons learned, how operators execute cost effective and efficient long term operations and maintenance strategies in order to optimise plant flexibility and reliability from world class plant operators. ‘Ageing Plant Strategies’ will bring expert engineers from various indus- tries in evaluating and assessing your existing plant. Achieve this goal to seal the undeniable bond between achieving world-class maintenance excellence with high production rate and overall plant effectiveness. Book a place now to grab this opportunity to revive your plant. In today’s current economic climate there are vast numbers of new downstream projects either delayed or being put on hold due to unplanned shutdown. Therefore, it is important to ensure existing facilities and assets are operating reliably and safely. The need to minimise unforeseen maintenance issues is important in mitigating productivity loss.
