Quality Facility Management Keeps Your Business Running
Utility plants are large, resource-intensive facilities responsible for producing and distributing valuable resources. In order to keep your facilities running smoothly and efficiently at all times, you need a partner who understands the regulatory, sustainability and safety requirements of power and utility plants.
At Technical Assurance, we work with utility clients to proactively manage the life cycle of their building envelope assets. If these assets fail, the results of water intrusion or inadequate air, weather and thermal barriers will inevitably increase your ongoing costs for managing the plant.
By investing in annual repairs and preventative maintenance, our approach will allow you to extend time between capital renewals and drive actual cost savings to your facility spend plans. Our ultimate goal in any partnership is to reduce total cost of ownership.

Streamlined Building System Management Technology
Manage building system inventory, condition assessments and ongoing system data within one central location—the ON-PNT® Enterprise Building System Management solution. When your facility portfolio spans several cities or states, it’s invaluable to have all facility data collected in one central location and available with the touch of your fingertip or the click of your mouse.
- We start each partnership with a condition assessment to establish a baseline.
- The collected data is then put into ON-PNT® along with historical system data, deficiencies, leaks, as-built information and other relevant system data.
- The goal of the assessment is to establish a condition index baseline of exterior building systems in order to understand how to prioritize repair and replacement projects over the next one, three, five and 10 years.
- This understanding allows us to craft a life cycle management program that includes financial planning and goals, repair and capital projects, preventative maintenance and warranty management.
