Additionally, the scope of work includes generating alerts to allow for planning and scheduling repair work.

The alerts will also enable offering recommendations for maintenance or repair of equipment and increasing frequency inspections.

John Crane is also required to impart training to workers at the refinery in areas such as leadership, data collection, project liaison, maintenance strategies and performance trending.

The latest contract comes after the company secured a contract in August last year to supply Maersk Oil with data services to support the planned maintenance strategy at a new development in the UK North Sea.
