Fleet Maintenance and Management Program

HDD---image---3---small.jpgJust showing up to a job site is insufficiENT. Showing up prepared to work is the Mears standard. Through the development of a systematic Fleet Maintenance and Management Program, Mears has met that standard consistently. Managed by AEMP Certified Equipment Managers, the program has allowed for fewer project slowdowns and has increased overall productivity. Each Mears' drill spread has dedicated time scheduled for maintenance in the company’s purpose built facility.

Once at the facility, technicians perform a rigorous inspection, remediating any deficiencies. Once the maintenance is completed the rig is put through a series of tests. Only when all tests are completed and passed, is the rig authorized to return to the fleet and onto the next project.

In addition to the scheduled maintenance, Mears deploys specially trained mechanics to the job sites for equipment assessments and maintenance.
