Maintenance & Shutdown Services

Mining and mineral processing plants rely on well-planned maintenance strategies to keep critical equipment operating safely and efficiently. Mechpro’s Maintenance and Shutdown Services provide comprehensive support for process plants, ensuring planned maintenance activities and shutdowns are executed safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to production. Our experienced field teams work closely with plant maintenance and operations teams to deliver high-quality mechanical services across mills, flotation circuits, pumping systems, and other critical processing equipment.

Our planned preventative maintenance programs help extend the life of key plant assets by identifying wear, misalignment, and potential failures before they lead to costly breakdowns. By combining field expertise with proven maintenance practices, we help plants maintain optimal equipment performance while reducing unplanned downtime.

During planned shutdowns or unexpected outages, Mechpro provides corrective repair services to restore equipment quickly and safely. Our technicians are experienced in working within the tight timelines typical of plant shutdowns, performing inspections, repairs, component replacements, and alignment work to ensure equipment is returned to service with confidence.

For urgent situations, our emergency breakdown response teams mobilize quickly to diagnose failures and implement repairs that get process plants running again as soon as possible. With extensive hands-on experience in heavy rotating equipment and mineral processing systems, our teams provide practical, reliable solutions in high-pressure operational environments.

Shutdown Planning and Execution Support

Successful shutdowns require careful coordination, detailed planning, and experienced execution. Mechpro provides shutdown planning, coordination, and execution support to help plant operators manage complex maintenance events efficiently. Our team assists with:

• Maintenance planning and work scope development
• Resource and contractor coordination
• Inspection scheduling and quality control
• Mechanical repair and installation support
• Shutdown execution and post-shutdown reporting

By combining practical field knowledge with structured planning processes, we help reduce shutdown durations, improve safety outcomes, and ensure critical maintenance tasks are completed effectively.

NDT Services for Process Plants

As part of our shutdown and maintenance support, Mechpro offers specialized Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services to assess the condition of critical process plant components without damaging equipment. NDT inspections are essential for identifying cracks, fatigue, corrosion, and other structural defects that could lead to equipment failure. Our NDT services are commonly applied to:

• Grinding mill shells and heads
• Girth gears and pinions
• Structural components and welds
• Pressure and piping systems

These inspections provide valuable data that allows maintenance teams to make informed decisions about repairs, replacements, and operational risk management.
