Mining & Infrastructure - Advisory, Delivery, Recovery
Reliable on-site service to maintain momentum and minimise downtime
Maintenance & lifecycle support
BlueForge delivers structured support across all aspects of mobile equipment maintenance—supervising routines, coordinating contractors, and managing diagnostics, spares, and rebuild strategies. We work on behalf of mine owners, contractors, and OEM partners to align maintenance performance with production targets and compliance standards. Our service covers both preventative and reactive support, grounded in Australian asset management principles and adapted to remote, high-pressure environments. By integrating oversight, monitoring, and lifecycle planning, we help ensure every asset remains safe, available, and cost-effective—from initial mobilisation through to rebuild or retirement.
Maintenance oversight & coordination
Structured oversight to maintain performance and reduce downtime
BlueForge supports mine owners and contractors by overseeing the full scope of field maintenance activities—ensuring service routines, breakdown response, diagnostics, and spares logistics are aligned with operational demands and production targets. Rather than executing repairs, we manage contractor performance, coordinate supply chains, and track maintenance outcomes to minimise downtime and sustain equipment availability in the field.
Key Services:
Diagnostics, monitoring & technical escalation
Early fault detection for safe and continuous operation
We ensure diagnostic routines and condition monitoring programs are executed correctly by maintenance providers and field personnel. This includes verifying tools and procedures, assessing response to early warning signs, and escalating risks before they impact safety, availability, or compliance. All findings are reviewed and reported for corrective action and performance tracking.
Key Services:
Spares logistics & supply chain control
Parts and consumables, delivered where and when they're needed
We coordinate the full maintenance supply chain—ensuring that spares, fluids, and consumables are aligned with planned service schedules and ready for reactive repairs. Our role includes stock forecasting, replenishment management, and supplier interface—minimising the risk of costly downtime due to material shortfalls.
Key Services:
Lifecycle planning & rebuild strategy
Maximising equipment value across the operational lifecycle
We develop long-term rebuild and replacement strategies aligned with production schedules, capital constraints, and equipment condition. Using cost-per-hour modelling, condition analysis, and scenario planning, we help clients decide when to maintain, rebuild, or retire assets—delivering confidence and cost control.
Key Services:
In addition to assisting our clients in delivering projects on time and within budget, it is at our project control centres where we connect digital training content with practical and classroom-based learning to ensure competence through technology.
