Reliability Analysis

Reliability is a performance characteristic that impacts the availability, effectiveness and sustainability of a building asset. It is fundamental to the fortunes of a building owner or operator that reliability be inherent in design to enable the delivery of asset value.

Dytecna customers benefit from the knowledge that the operational availability, effectiveness and sustainability of building assets have been systematically analysed across a range of factors including hardware and software design, systems and environmental safety, human engineering against the wider commercial considerations underpinning a building asset.

Our comprehensive design analyses not only provide customers with confidence that their building assets will function as and when required, but can also identify areas in which improvements can be made. Each work package is tailored to the specific requirements of a customer or project, and may include techniques such as:

• Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
• Fault tree analysis
• Reliability block diagrams
• Statistical failure rate analysis, e.g. Weibull

Our customers benefit from the increased accuracy of the analysis performed. This is achieved by using performance data from a range of sources including:

• In-service performance
• Performance standards and methodologies
• Engineering judgement
• Condition survey
• Defect investigation and reporting

The comprehensive analysis we provide can be used in compliance and verification activities, or as the basis for optimising a design for sustainability.
