Abstract

This study analyzed the views of practicing estate surveyors and valuers in Lagos and Ogun States on Maintenance Practice of Process Plants in Cement Industry because of the importance of this industry to developing nations. The objectives employed in achieving this aim were to: identify factors that affect the useful life of process plants in cement industry; obtain and rank the views of practicing estate surveyors and valuers on factors affecting useful life of process plants in cement industry in Lagos and Ogun States; obtain and rank the perception of practicing estate surveyors and valuers on the periods observed for implementation of maintenance schedules in the study industry in the two states; obtain and rank the views of practicing estate surveyors and valuers on the periods observed for retainership of maintenance engineers in cement industry in the two states under research and establish if this industry keeps maintenance history of its plants. Out of 337 practicing estate surveyors and valuers administered with questionnaires in the two states under examination, only 172 questionnaires were successfully completed and returned for analysis. Frequency distribution and mean item Score (MIS) of responses were the analytical approaches adopted in this research. It was found out among others that frequency of use and age of the plant when acquired were the two most significant influencers of useful life of process plants in cement industry. It was recommended that routine, preventive or turnaround maintenance should be carried out monthly as against other options, such as weekly, half-yearly or yearly.
