Perth Office Reliability Engineering Supporting WA Industries

Holistic Asset Management is proud to announce the opening of our new Perth office, a strategic move that strengthens our ability to serve Western Australia’s mining, oil and gas, utilities, renewables, and manufacturing sectors.

WA’s industries operate some of the world’s most demanding and remote assets. With a local base, we can respond faster, deliver strategies tailored to local conditions, and work closely with clients to achieve measurable improvements in reliability, asset life, and operational resilience.

Western Australia is home to large-scale, high-value operations that are vital to both national and global supply chains. These industries face unique challenges:

• Harsh operating environments – Extreme heat, corrosive coastal conditions, and abrasive dust accelerate equipment wear.

• Remote site locations – Hundreds of kilometres from major hubs, making rapid technical support a logistical challenge.

• High capital intensity – Downtime on critical assets can cost millions of dollars per hour.

• Regulatory and sustainability pressures – Increasing demands to meet strict safety, compliance, and environmental standards.

By establishing a permanent presence in Perth, we can embed our expertise into WA’s industrial landscape, delivering localised, data-driven reliability solutions that directly address these challenges.

Mining and Resources

• Reduce unplanned downtime in crushing, processing, and load-out operations.

• Extend asset life to defer major capital expenditure.

• Eliminate repeat failures through Apollo Root Cause Analysis.

Oil and Gas

• Improve uptime of critical upstream, midstream, and downstream assets.

• Optimise maintenance strategies for offshore platforms, LNG facilities, and pipelines.

• Implement predictive maintenance to reduce unplanned shutdowns and safety incidents.

Utilities

• Improve availability for water, power, and waste infrastructure.

• Deploy condition monitoring and FMECA-based planning for service reliability.

Renewables

• Maximise uptime for wind, solar, and battery assets.

• Extend life while meeting compliance for grid stability and environmental performance.

Manufacturing

• Increase production uptime by removing process bottlenecks.

• Apply data-led reliability engineering to support lean operations.

• Faster response times – Rapid mobilisation for urgent site requirements.

• Tailored reliability strategies – Designed for WA’s climate, operational realities, and regulatory environment.

• Full-spectrum services – From maintenance strategy development and root cause analysis to predictive modelling and technology integration.

• Ongoing support via RaaS – Our flagship Reliability as a Service model delivers continuous improvement without the overhead of large in-house teams.

• Capability building – On-site and virtual training, including certified Apollo RCA programs and FMECA-based workshops.

The Perth office will be led by Dr Muhammad Hussain.

Muhammad brings:

• Deep expertise in asset integrity, reliability modelling, and predictive maintenance.

• A strong academic and practical background in engineering, systems optimisation, and applied analytics.

• Proven results designing and delivering site-ready reliability programs that deliver measurable ROI.

“Western Australia’s industries operate in environments where reliability is not just about efficiency — it’s a profit safeguard. Being based in Perth enables us to work side-by-side with clients to make their operations more resilient, productive, and cost-effective,” said Dr Hussain.

“This expansion is about proximity, responsiveness, and delivering tangible results for WA’s industries,” said Dave Alexander, Managing Director of Holistic Asset Management. “With Muhammad leading our Perth operations, we can address the state’s specific challenges and ensure every client sees a clear return on their reliability investment.”

The Perth office is a key step in our national growth strategy, ensuring that clients — no matter how remote — can access Holistic Asset Management’s proven expertise, tools, and methodologies when they need them most.

Whether you need to improve uptime, extend lifecycle value, or embed reliability culture, our mission remains the same: turning maintenance into a strategic asset.
