Engineering Stack
Explore the MARCH Engineering Stack and the services that support every stage of the asset lifecycle, from design and delivery to maintenance and optimisation.
Facilities & Asset Maintenance is one of nine capabilities within the MARCH Engineering Stack.
Our teams support customers with planned maintenance, inspections, condition monitoring, breakdown response and specialist support, working across multi-site estates and live operational environments. Services range from national facilities management and CAFM-led service delivery through to electrical maintenance, asset care, production and plant maintenance, compressed air management, condition monitoring and 24/7 emergency response.
Managing facilities across multiple sites requires a consistent approach to maintenance, compliance and operational support. Integrated facilities management services provide coordinated delivery across dispersed estates, helping maintain standards, governance and asset performance. The result is consistent service delivery, reduced operational risk and improved asset availability.
Effective facilities management depends on having accurate information, responsive support and clear control of assets and maintenance activities. CAFM systems, supported by a central 24/7/365 helpdesk, provide a structured approach to managing assets, work orders and reactive service requests across an estate. The result is improved visibility, faster response times and better control of facilities operations.
Reliable operation of variable speed drives depends on timely repair, maintenance and technical support throughout their lifecycle. Specialist service centre and maintenance contract support provides repair, refurbishment and ongoing assistance for variable speed drives at scale, helping extend the life of critical equipment and minimise disruption. The result is reduced lead times, lower replacement costs and extended equipment life.

Maintaining asset reliability depends on maintenance and inspection activities that reflect asset criticality, condition and operational requirements. Planned preventative maintenance and statutory inspection programmes help identify potential issues before they affect performance while supporting ongoing compliance obligations. The result is improved reliability, stronger compliance assurance and reduced unplanned failures.
Reliable and efficient compressed air systems depend on ongoing monitoring, maintenance and performance optimisation. Management of compressed air infrastructure helps identify opportunities to improve efficiency, maintain reliability and ensure systems continue to meet operational requirements. The result is reduced energy costs, improved system reliability and greater operational efficiency.

Maximising the value of critical assets depends on a structured approach to maintenance, reliability and lifecycle management. Asset care services help sustain equipment performance, address emerging issues and optimise maintenance activity throughout the asset lifecycle. The result is extended asset life, improved reliability and a stronger return on asset investment.
Reliable production and plant performance depend on maintenance activities that align with operational priorities, asset condition and production schedules. Dedicated maintenance support helps ensure critical equipment remains available, while reducing disruption to day-to-day operations and planned production activities. The result is improved production uptime and reduced maintenance-related disruption.
Maximising asset reliability depends on understanding equipment condition and responding to emerging issues before failure occurs. Condition monitoring solutions provide ongoing insight into asset health, helping identify developing faults and target maintenance activities where they are needed most. The result is earlier fault detection, more efficient maintenance planning and improved asset performance.
Preventing electrical outages depends on understanding asset condition, identifying emerging risks and responding quickly when issues occur. Proactive monitoring, maintenance and resilience measures help reduce the likelihood of failures, while emergency support provides rapid response when incidents cannot be avoided. The result is reduced downtime risk and faster recovery from electrical incidents.
Maintaining electrical reliability often requires access to skilled resources that can respond to changing operational demands, maintenance activities and shutdown programmes. Electrical engineering labour support provides experienced personnel to supplement site teams and help maintain continuity across planned and reactive work. The result is flexible resourcing, assured technical capability and reliable support when it is needed most.
Restoring critical drive systems quickly requires access to specialist expertise and responsive repair services. Round-the-clock breakdown support for variable speed drives helps diagnose faults, carry out repairs and return equipment to service with minimal delay. The result is minimised downtime and improved resilience of critical drive systems.

Understanding why assets fail is essential to improving reliability, performance and maintenance effectiveness over the long term. Reliability studies and failure analysis help identify recurring issues, performance limitations and opportunities for improvement across assets and systems. The result is more informed maintenance strategies, reduced risk of repeat failures and improved long-term reliability.
Maintaining the availability of critical automation systems depends on rapid access to specialist support when faults occur. 24/7 automation service and support provides fault diagnosis, remote assistance and on-site intervention to help resolve issues quickly and minimise disruption to operations. The result is improved system availability and faster resolution of automation issues.
Restoring electrical supplies quickly during faults and unplanned outages depends on rapid access to experienced engineering support. Emergency call out services for high and low voltage systems help diagnose faults, make equipment safe and restore power as efficiently as possible. The result is rapid response to critical incidents and reduced operational impact.
Maintaining the safety and reliability of high and low voltage electrical infrastructure depends on effective maintenance and timely defect resolution. Planned maintenance and repair activities help identify deterioration, address faults and ensure equipment continues to operate safely and efficiently. The result is improved electrical safety, stronger reliability and ongoing compliance.
Maintaining operational continuity often depends on access to critical equipment when failures occur or temporary capacity is required. Variable speed drive and electric motor hire provides short and long-term access to equipment that can be deployed quickly to support planned activities, breakdown situations and emergency requirements. The result is rapid access to essential equipment, reduced downtime and continuity of operations without the need for capital investment.

Reliable compressed air and motion systems depend on components that are properly matched to operational requirements and performance demands. Compressors, dryers, filters, blowers and associated ancillaries provide the foundations of efficient and dependable system operation across a wide range of industrial applications. The result is access to high-quality components, confidence in system compatibility and reliable long-term performance.
Effective local exhaust ventilation systems depend on regular oversight, timely intervention and clear visibility of asset condition. Planned and reactive maintenance, combined with management of asset registers, examination schedules, defect records and weekly checks, helps keep extraction systems performing safely and efficiently across multiple sites. The result is more reliable extraction performance, reduced production disruption and improved visibility of examination status and outstanding defects.

Reliable filtration and air system performance depends on filters and media that are correctly specified, fitted and maintained. Replacement services covering dust collectors, LEV systems, paint booths, AHUs, gas turbine intakes and safe-change housings help maintain design performance while supporting safe handling and disposal of used media. The result is consistent airflow performance, simplified filter management and reliable access to correctly specified replacement media.
