“…Groenewald, Kleingeld and Vosloo [80] developed a performance-centred maintenance (PCM) strategy for industrial DSM projects. The study done by Groenewald et al [80] focused only on the mining sector. It is stated that underperformance of industrial DSM projects is often because of a lack of proper maintenance and practices.…”

In the 21 st century, energy saving, cost savings and decreasing carbon dioxide emissions have become an important concern for the sustainability of steelworks. The emphasis is on assigning dedicated personnel to reduce energy cost and emissions on iron-and steelmanufacturing plants. Profitability in the steel industry, both globally and locally, has drastically reduced in the last decade. In South Africa, the production of steel was down by 4.5% year-on-year in 2015. This is due to both a struggling economy and a world surplus in steel supply. The emphasis on cost reduction is therefore even more important in South Africa to stay competitive in the global steel market. It is important for personnel at iron-and steel-manufacturing plants to be aware of the risks associated with electricity costs and how to mitigate these risks to stay competitive in a difficult and economically struggling industry. There is a lack of knowledge regarding electricity cost savings and personnel do not have the knowledge to achieve electricity savings. There is a need to establish a framework to identify, prioritise and implement electricity cost reduction in the South African steel-producing environment. There are several energy management systems and approaches that can be used to manage and obtain energy savings. The problem with these systems is the lack of a step-by-step framework that is applicable specifically to steel plants. Typical energy cost reduction strategies focus on large capital expenditure (capex) projects. Steel plants in South Africa have limited capex to spend on energy cost reduction.

Poor infrastructure maintenance of basic services in developing countries undermine economic development and sustainability. The process of reactive maintenance on equipment are practiced in many rural projects, resulting in a range of challenges, including high cost, shorter life expectancy of equipment and inefficient use of project engagement time by project teams. This paper proposes the use of low data rate sensors for the monitoring of rural infrastructure to assist in the practice of preventive maintenance in rural projects. The paper argues and demonstrates the importance of on-going operation and performance monitoring of infrastructure to implement preventive maintenance throughout the life cycle of rural infrastructure projects with the use of a case study-a remote village in rural South Africa. The implementation of preventive maintenance practices in rural projects show that project maintenance budgets can be utilized more efficiently when compared to traditional reactive maintenance. In addition to the reduction of maintenance cost, the implementation of preventive maintenance can lead to better life expectancy of equipment as well as safer operating and maintenance conditions for operators and maintenance teams. Findings reveal that the utilization of low data rate sensors for equipment operation and performance monitoring can support rural development as it assists preventive maintenance solutions, replacing reactive maintenance strategies. The paper further aims to assist project teams working in rural projects to improve support and maintenance of deployed infrastructure and equipment to improve the sustainability of these rural projects. The contribution of this paper is the demonstration of how the implementation of low bandwidth network technologies and sensors can be utilized for operation and performance monitoring in deep rural projects without incurring major costs to support the sustainability of these projects.
