03 Operate
OEM-anchored maintenance under direct technical authority — factory training, spare parts access, and the documentation that makes every intervention defensible.
The OEM-Anchored Maintenance Argument
When a valve fails at a metering station, the operator needs to know that the maintenance contractor can identify the correct replacement seat, order the factory-approved spare, and complete the repair to the original OEM specification. That capability starts with the OEM agreement — not with the maintenance contract.
Viscera's operations and maintenance capability is grounded in exactly that logic. Because we hold direct OEM agreements with thirty manufacturers across twelve countries, our maintenance work is backed by factory training, factory-approved spare parts, and the original technical documentation from the manufacturer. This is the difference between maintenance that is defensible and maintenance that is not.
This is anchored by the founder's two decades of operator-side experience across Sub-Saharan Africa — experience that was built in the field, understanding what defensible maintenance actually requires in the context of NUPRC regulation, IOC contractor qualification, and EPC handover standards.
Honest Statement
Our operations and maintenance capability is grounded in OEM technical authority and is actively expanding. We do not pad this section with proposals presented as delivered work.
Factory training certificates, original spare parts access, and the technical documentation that makes every maintenance intervention traceable to the manufacturer.
API 570 · API 510 · API 653 · ASME B31.4 · ASME B31.8 · API 6D · API 580 / 581 (Risk-Based Inspection)
Actively expanding from the OEM supply base. Discuss specific requirements — we will give you an honest assessment of what we can deliver now and what is in development.
Capability Areas
Detailed below are the specific service lines that constitute our O&M capability — each grounded in OEM technical authority.
OEM-Certified
Valve inspection, maintenance and repair performed under OEM-certified technical authority. Because Viscera holds direct OEM agreements with valve manufacturers — including BVT, FEVISA, HERZ, HAWLE, AVK and others — our maintenance work on these valves is backed by factory training, original spare parts, and OEM-approved repair procedures.
Compressors · Pumps · Generators
Operations and maintenance for compressors, pumps and generating sets under OEM technical authority. For Burckhardt compressors, AKSA generators and Flowserve pump equipment, maintenance is backed by manufacturer technical documentation and approved spare parts channels.
API 570 · ASME B31.4
Pipeline integrity management to API 570 (in-service piping inspection) and ASME B31.4 (liquid pipeline systems). The pipeline is an asset — its integrity management program determines its operating life and regulatory standing.
API 510 · API 653
Static equipment inspection to API 510 (pressure vessels) and API 653 (above-ground storage tanks). Statutory inspection requirements must be met for continued operation — and the documentation must be complete for regulatory review.
OEM-Supported
HVAC commissioning and maintenance programs delivered in reference to OEM technical specifications — particularly for HERZ and HAWLE balancing valve systems, where Viscera holds direct distribution agreements and maintains the technical documentation library.
Across the Region
Field service and aftermarket support for Viscera-supplied equipment — backed by OEM terms, factory spare parts access, and technical documentation. Available across Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast.
Discuss an O&M Requirement
Tell us what you are operating, what the maintenance obligation looks like, and what OEM equipment is in the asset register. We will give you an honest assessment of where our OEM technical authority adds genuine value — and where it does not.
We do not offer capability we cannot deliver. Where our O&M capability is still developing, we will say so — and tell you when we expect it to be delivery-ready.
