Mainland preventive-maintenance templates fail in Hawaiʻi for three reasons: corrosion runs faster, UV and rainfall extremes are harsher, and replacement parts arrive on a barge schedule, not overnight. Island PM planning has to shorten inspection intervals for exposed assets and hold critical spares locally.
Start with an asset inventory that actually reflects the field — most don't. Then classify assets by failure consequence, set inspection intervals by exposure (coastal, windward, vog zone), and log conditions with photos so trends are visible year over year.
The economics favor prevention unusually strongly here: emergency mobilization, expedited shipping, and business interruption all cost more on an island. We build assessment-driven PM programs, and can run the data side too — asset databases, digital forms, and dashboards.
