Preventative Maintenance

In an effort to extend the life of university equipment and buildings, maintenance personnel are assigned the responsibility to complete Preventative Maintenance (PM) tasks. The Work Control Center coordinates these activities and generates PM work orders that assist in completing regularly scheduled maintenance.

These tasks include:

1. A quarterly check/replacement of air filters in all buildings.
2. Roof inspections are conducted bi-annually to inspect roof drains, surface conditions, water ponding, and other potential problems which could damage buildings and create water leaks.
3. (PM) Work Orders are are also generated to inspect and perform routine test to monitor chiller conditions to ensure maximum efficiency and life.
4. Other regular inspections include Fire Alarm systems, Fire Extinguishers, Smoke Detectors, Exit Signs, and Emergency Lighting.

Note: The (PM) program consist of over 100 routine building and equipment inspections to reach peak performance and maximum life.
