Thiess Asset Services has been introduced as a new service offering, utilising the company’s extensive 90-year history of proven expertise in the management, operation, and maintenance of one of the world’s most diversified and expansive mining fleets.
Thiess Asset Services will leverage its operational expertise and location-first, adaptable approach to achieve tangible outcomes, as evidenced by its involvement in more than 50 projects across seven countries. This translates to solutions that enhance the availability and efficiency of equipment, decrease downtime, and increase productivity for customers.
Michael Wright, the Executive Chair and CEO of Thiess Group, stated:
“We are intimately familiar with the asset challenges that our clients are encountering, including the ongoing challenge of obtaining the appropriate technical expertise, the pressure to reduce capital investment, the increase in equipment lifecycles, and the reduction in industry capability.” The asset strategy and execution are of the utmost importance to any mining company when they are combined with a broader expectation of reducing emissions and decarbonisation.
“We have expended significant effort in our organisation to establish the groundwork for asset services that are more sustainable, intelligent, and secure, all while reducing the total cost of ownership.” We are thrilled to announce that we are now able to provide our clients with this level of expertise as a standalone service.
Whole-of-life asset solutions, such as preventative maintenance, machine and component rebuilds, composite carbon fibre restorations and reinforcement, fleet management, equipment rental, and energy transition services, will be offered by Thiess Asset Services.
Ryan Kirkwood, Executive Assets & Autonomy at Thiess Group, stated:
“We are introducing a distinctive product to the market, which is supported by decades of experience and strategic partnerships. This product enables us to provide innovative solutions that can improve efficiency, reduce costs, promote decarbonisation, and, as a result, generate value for our clients.”
“We have partnered with Mechatronix to strengthen rebuilds using a lightweight carbon-fibre reinforcement, which helps to increase the lifespan of assets and reduce downtime. Additionally, we have partnered with EACON to trial OEM-agnostic autonomous solutions, with the goal of reducing capital expenditure barriers to autonomous haulage by providing a cost-efficient conversion of conventional fleet to full autonomy.”
