Technical Facility Management

Frequently known as „hard FM”, it assures the optimal functioning of buildings’ technical systems – equipment, installations, devices etc. Therefore, performed in a professional manner, the maintenance activities and operations significantly increase constructions’ life-cycle and utilization performance. Main technical services include:

Technical maintenance of building systems, equipment and installations
Highly important in today’s Facility Management, the technical maintenance services secure the optimal functioning of all technical components of a building. The maintenance services aim to perform and keep up:
  • the best conditions of the systems, equipment and installations, enabling these to fully support the building's functional – operational capabilities at optimal performance levels;
  • the best operational conditions for all systems, equipment and installations;
  • the efficient use of resources for maintenance;
  • the extension of the systems, equipment and installations life-cycle;
  • the fast response capability if technical failures or incidents occur.
All these requirements are accomplished by preventive, predictive or corrective maintenance, as follows:
  • preventive maintenance a list of planned maintenance actions, aiming to prevent systems and equipment breakdowns and failures, designed to preserve and enhance equipment reliability, by replacing worn components before they actually fail.
Periodical equipment checkups, partial or complete overhauls at specified periods, including component replacements, tunings, oil changes etc.

Benefits of preventive maintenance include:
  • improved system reliability;
  • lower costs of replacements;
  • shorter system downtime;
  • better spare parts inventory management;
  • increased efficiency in budget management;
  • significantly prolonged life-cycle;
  • predictive maintenance helps determining the equipment condition when functioning, in order to forecast when maintenance should be performed. This approach offers cost savings over routine or time-based preventive maintenance. Most predictive maintenance inspections are performed while equipment is in service, thereby minimizing disruptions in normal system operations;
  • corrective maintenance is any intervention which is required to correct a failure that has occurred or is in the process of occurring. Main activities may consist in repairs, component restoration or replacement of the affected equipment and, then, their re-starting.
Main advantages resulting from entrusting the maintenance and overhaul services to BSS specialists consist in:
  • certainty that full and correct maintenance services are performed, for each and all systems, equipment and installations of your property;
  • complete avoidance of risks related to incidents and situations generated by improper maintenance or shallow overhauls;
  • high safety level in equipment functioning, with best performances and low costs.

PRAM - a mandatory by law technical service

The acronym PRAM stands for Protection by Relays, Automation and Measurements and includes checks and measurements mainly relating to:

  • Electrical safety for personnel and equipment using electrical installation and work equipment;
  • Avoiding building fires and preventing damage to electrical and electronic equipment.

Performed in accordance with laws, decisions and other regulations, issued by the relevant authorities. The PRAM services are performed only by authorized personnel, certified by the national authority ANRE.

PRAM services include:

  • Measuring resistance of sockets' grounding dispersion, including lightning protection systems;
  • Checking up electrical protection of conductors continuities;
  • Checking up the corrosion degree of grounding installations.

The necessity for PRAM services comes from that, inevitably, all installations deteriorate over time and therefore the legislation provides that electrical installations must be maintained in a satisfactory safety state, therefore the need to be inspected and tested regularly.

The services frequency is performed, according to the regulations, at least twice a year (in buildings, warehouses, etc.).
