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:
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- 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.

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.).
Advantages of PRAM services performed by BSS specialists:
- full confidence that all checkups and measurements are properly performed, avoiding serious risks for your business and personnel;
- minimization of penalty risks from authorities, due to improper condition of power installations or incomplete operations and documents.
According to legislation in force relating to the safe functioning of installations under pressure, lifting equipment and fuel operating equipment, companies must hire personnel or contracting services for technical supervision and checkups of installations, certified by the State Inspectorate for Boilers and Lifting Equipment Control
