Precision Maintenance and Bolted Joint Integrity

Many repeat failures on African plants trace back to sloppy assembly rather than worn parts, with over or under tightened bolts a frequent culprit. This programme instils precision maintenance habits, from correct torque and tensioning to cleanliness and fits, that dramatically extend equipment life. Delegates practise the techniques that turn a rushed repair into a lasting one.
