Underground 30,000 Litre Fuel Tank Module
Integrated Reliability Solutions was commissioned to design and build a 30,000 litre underground refuelling solution for a client in May 2022.
Water Cannon Repair
Integrated Reliability Solutions were approached by one of the Hunter Valley coal mines to inspect and come up with a suitable repair for the leaking water cannons. On inspection of the water cannon, it was noted that a number of components had worn due to lack of lubrication which allowed the water to leak when not in use.

Bearing Skidding
Over the last three years IRS has been monitoring motor bearings displaying various stages of fatigue.
Electric Motor Bearing Defects
The site was experiencing a high frequency of electric motor bearing faults. Condition monitoring reports had identified specific motors as manifesting bearing defects and had suggested that a “lack of lubricant” was a significant factor contributing to the defects.
Grease Contamination
Over the course of several months, site maintenance personnel observed that lubrication system components were failing at a rate higher then what would normally be expected.
