Your integrated project delivery partner
Project readiness built through structured planning and real-world delivery
BlueForge works with mine owners, contractors, civil operators, and OEM-aligned partners already in production to prepare fleets, facilities, and systems for a smooth shift to outsourced maintenance. We begin with a comprehensive fleet performance audit—analysing maintenance practices, inspecting equipment, and assessing systems, infrastructure, and labour capability. Findings are benchmarked against industry best practice to identify performance gaps, process bottlenecks, and resourcing needs. From there, we design a mobilisation plan that aligns workshops, spares, tooling, and contractor engagement to production schedules—ensuring the transition avoids downtime while setting the foundation for long-term availability, cost control, and asset life extension.
Fleet selection & ownership modelling
Establishing an accurate performance baseline to drive transition success
We evaluate every asset through physical inspections and review of maintenance histories, availability, and cost-per-hour performance. This baseline identifies which units require refurbishment, rebuild, or replacement prior to handover, ensuring the outsourced model starts with a fleet capable of meeting targets. We also highlight risks, reliability trends, and performance variances to set realistic KPIs from day one. The outcome is a clear, evidence-based plan for preparing the fleet for its new maintenance framework.
Key Services:
Systems and process review
Building the digital and procedural backbone for outsourced maintenance
We review CMMS platforms, telematics systems, and reporting processes to ensure they support predictive maintenance, lifecycle planning, and real-time decision-making. Where gaps exist, we recommend upgrades, integrations, or process adjustments to ensure data is reliable, actionable, and aligned with the outsourced provider’s needs. This ensures the site’s systems are capable of sustaining performance and accountability under the new model.
Key Services:
Mobilisation & execution planning
Sequencing infrastructure, resources, and contractors for a seamless handover
We ensure workshops, tooling, spares, contractors, and logistical support are ready before the handover date. Timelines are coordinated with production schedules to minimise disruption, contractor skill sets are matched to fleet needs, and supply chains are prepared for the outsourced scope. The result is a controlled, step-by-step transition that keeps the operation stable throughout the changeover.
Key Services:
Operations readiness alignment
Integrating OEM requirements and operational KPIs into the outsourcing framework
We work with OEMs to ensure warranty compliance, embed rebuild capability, and integrate manufacturer service intervals into the operational plan. We also define KPIs for availability, cost, and utilisation, and ensure compliance, safety, and induction processes are in place. This creates a unified operating model where OEM obligations, contractor delivery, and operational goals are fully aligned.
