Mining
Fixed and mobile plant, underground and surface, where one maintainable item can hold up the whole production chain.
Safer, more reliable, more profitable operations.
Shivaan Asset Management helps heavy asset operators cut unplanned failures and whole-of-life cost, and lift reliability and output, by turning the assets and data you already own into decisions your management and executives can trust.
Industries we serve
Heavy asset operators, across seven sectors.
Shivaan Asset Management is an asset management and reliability consultancy working across mining, manufacturing, oil and gas, rail, refineries, smelting and defence. The equipment classes and failure mechanisms repeat across these sectors, so the taxonomy and criticality method carries from one to the next.
Manufacturing
Continuous process plant, where installed capacity is available but stable, repeatable use of it is not.
Oil and Gas
Upstream and processing plant, where the failure history is buried in free-text work orders nobody can analyse.
Rail
Rolling stock and fixed infrastructure, held to a design-stage safety case that has to be demonstrated, not asserted.
Refineries
Rotating and fixed equipment under continuous duty, where an unplanned trip is counted in days, not hours.
Smelting
Potlines, casthouses and reduction plant, where a single outage cascades across the line.
Defence
Systems whose safety case has to survive independent design assurance before anything is accepted.

Integrated asset lifecycle
Our method
Data Standardisation and AI Readiness Framework
Standardising asset data is method work, not a one-off clean-up. The Data Standardisation and AI Readiness Framework runs to five phases and nine steps, taking an asset base from records kept a different way at every site to standardised data that reporting, optimisation and AI can stand on.
Failure-code adoption reached 78% within eight months at a global mining operation, from no prior use of codes.
Discover
Understand what exists and how to classify it.
Structure
Break assets down and agree the terminology.
Standardise
Turn knowledge into reusable libraries and CMMS-ready codes.
Govern
Keep the data trusted, owned and improving.
Activate
Use standardised data for reporting, optimisation and AI readiness.
Delivered work
Sector experience, tied to delivered work.
Every figure below is taken from a case study published on this site.
Mining
1,849 maintainable items assessed and 24,722 failure modes and causes addressed on an underground copper operation, for a critical equipment availability and production throughput uplift of six days a year.
Manufacturing
Fewer rejects and steadier mill operation reported within three months at a cement plant, with recharge planning confidence up and key-person dependency down.
Smelting
Three aluminium smelters ranked on one criticality basis, with 3 Strategic Asset Management Plans and 23 Asset Management Plans for business-critical asset types.
Rail Transport
The design-stage Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety scope of works delivered on a metro rail project.
Oil and Gas
5 asset classes and 44 asset class types delivered as SAP compliant failure codes for a Tier 1 operator, in 8 weeks.
Defence
Systems engineering safety assurance across four work streams: DFMECA, hazard log, fault tree analysis and design assurance reports.
