Be your firm’s goalkeeper

After watching the FIFA World Cup, one is reminded of the importance of a good save. Things could have been very different if certain saves had not been made during the competition. When considering what could have happened in the sporting arena, it’s easy to look back on the shots on goal and surmise as to what could have, or in some cases should have happened.

When machinery fails it is not just a soccer team losing out on becoming champions, machinery failures cost companies millions of dollars in downtime, repair and productivity loss. Regular maintenance of your equipment could definitely score you a save.

Gough Analytical has been assisting various industries in averting disaster and saving companies a lot of time and money, for a number of years, by providing an excellent f luid analysis service.

David Robbie, of Meridian Energy says: “Goughs is always willing to listen and improve their service.”

He was impressed with the turnaround time and expertise he’s experienced from the Gough Analytical team.

According to Robbie, due to trending changes they have been able to identify a number of opportunities to filter and purify oil, reduce particle count or water content. When asked if Goughs had made any “saves”, he said: “They were able to identify leaking water coolers before damage had occurred.”
