When spares are well‑managed and strategically utilised\, maintenance work becomes faster\, more effective\, and more predictable — delivering measurable improvements in reliability\, availability\, and overall cost performance. \nThis session will explore the practical foundations of effective spare parts management across key focus areas: \n\nSpares procurement and supplier engagement\nStorage and preservation practices\nInventory holdings\, control\, and issuing processes\nAccess and availability during maintenance windows\n\nStrong practices in these areas ensure maintenance can be completed within the shortest possible time\, at optimum cost\, and with minimal waste or rework. \nWe will also examine the challenges associated with spare parts discontinuation (obsolescence) and component end‑of‑life\, which can create significant cost\, risk\, and engineering impacts for many facilities. The webinar will outline practical strategies to mitigate these issues to help maintain equipment availability while organisations navigate the risks of obsolescence. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Alex Jarufe is a senior Asset Management engineer with 30 years of hands‑on experience across Australia’s heavy industries\, including mining and mineral processing\, oil and gas\, chemical processing\, water treatment\, power generation\, food production and agriculture.

These stores are not measured or controlled for quantity and\, depending on storage practices\, may also be lacking in quality. The use of spares from these stores remains a hidden cost and can mask the true cost of maintaining plant and equipment. \nThere are many reasons squirrel stores come into being. These will be discussed\, along with how these extraneous stores can be eliminated. \nThe webinar will also cover real-world examples and solutions that may assist others in addressing the issue of squirrel stores. \nClick here to register \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the speaker: Tanya Viano is currently taking a hiatus from engineering.

This remote monitoring provides a continuous acoustic visibility on the assets providing early detection capability for Non-Visible leaks and the protection of assets. This early detection of failures of the water pipes reduces the high cost reactive approach\, enables mitigation or remediation decisions to be deployed prior to Functional Failure. In a high density environment such as the Perth CBD minimises asset\, public safety\, subsequential damage and customer impacts resulting from bursts or catastrophic failures. \nActive leak detection monitoring in the Perth CBD is achieved by two remote monitoring deployments: \n\nZonescan NB-IoT Correlating Acoustic Loggers\, owned and maintained by Water Corporation utilising a Cloud Zonescan NET portal; and\nTreble Distributed Acoustic Sensing of leased fibre-optic cables\, analysed and reported by an external service provider.\n\nWhile the acoustic logger technology is used across the industry for monitoring\, the use of fibreoptic is technology is new within the water industry but utilised within other industries for temperature and vibration remote monitoring. \nThis presentation will provide an overview of remote monitoring deployed for non-visible leak detection and protection of assets\, and the benefits realised. \n  \nClick here to register\n  \nAbout the speakers: \nIan Gibb is an electrical Engineer working\, for over 40 years on asset and network management\, risk and performance activities\, in the Electricity industry\, jurisdictionally and nationally\, and Water Utility industry in recent years. \nMatt Ferguson is an environmental Engineer with over 10 years’ experience in Water industry\, Environmental Service Delivery and Resources Sectors.
