Nine Dot Solutions can assist our clients with extending the life of existing machinery and structures. Although machinery and structures are designed to a specific usable life, careful management of structures, operating procedures and maintenance plans can extend this life.
Lifetime extension plans typically

- extend the usable life of machinery,
- reduce capital expenditure to replace aging machinery,
- reduce unplanned downtime due to aging components,
