Industry
Constuction equipment
Location
Tauton, Massachusetts
Situation
G. Lopes Construction is a full service contracting company with a broad range of expertise from tree clearing to heavy excavation. As one of the largest site contractors in the Southeast Massachusetts area, G. Lopes Construction is keen on keeping Operations & Maintenance costs to a minimum in order to further improve profitability. To accomplish this, the company approached us, its distributor, to identify a solution capable of monitoring equipment health before signficant breakdowns can occur and proactively prevent breakdowns
Recommendation
The Northeast team, alongside the Mobil Serv℠ Engineering team, recommended completing a Mobil Serv℠ Lubricant Analysis study in an effort to better understand the current condition of the equipment and oil. A proactive maintenance service, Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis enables operators to monitor the condition of active oil and equipment so they can make changes before significant failure could occur.
Impact
The Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis study, which was conducted from November 1, 2018 to November 1, 2019, identified heightened viscosity and fuel dilution in G. Lopes Construction’s equipment that could potentially cause equipment failure over time. By identifying these issues early on, the company was able to avoid costly equipment repairs, generating company-estimated annual savings of US $185,310.
