A client of Cambridge hired us to complete a facility and site renovation as well as an addition of truck maintenance bays. The facility had been built years before and used for truck maintenance, parts storage, and office space. The facility required a renovation in order to assist with their growing business. Part of the renovation included maintenance on the existing offices and service bays in order to ensure the facility was still going to be useful for year to come.
Maintenance in the existing service area includes: painting of walls & ceilings in shop to increase visibility, installation of trench drain to assist with the removal of any water entering the facility when vehicles are brought in for service, expansion of the Men’s locker room and addition of the Women’s locker room to accommodate added staff, added building entrance to better define customer traffic flow to Parts/Service/Warranty actions, seven (7) 14’ x 16’ overhead doors were added to increase the total number of service bays, pipe bollards were added at all existing overhead door openings to provide protection to the building structure, a parts storage mezzanine was added to increase the volume of storage, vehicle exhaust system was modified to accommodate all revised service bay locations, and a make-up air unit was added to meet code required air to work in conjunction with the exhaust system.

INDUSTRY ARTICLE
Every facility owner has different requirements to keep in mind from a review and inspection perspective. These actions are important to protecting facilities and helping keep your workforce safe. Many of these items can help to catch maintenance items that are relatively cheap to address, but can become very costly if left un-addressed. In this article we will cover a few of the key items to keep in mind, no matter what kind of facility you own.
Life/SafetyThe life/safety systems are the most important systems within a building since they help keep employees safe during their time onsite.
This includes:• Fire Sprinkler Systems must be inspected every year by a certified professional to verify that they are functioning properly. In dry-pipe systems, the drip legs need to be drained at least monthly.
• Strobe Lights and Exit Signage should be tested each year to ensure that they are working properly as well.
• Emergency Lighting, Night Lights and Such should be checked each year. Bulbs need to be replaced as well as batteries. Some facilities have gas detection for various sources such as methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, natural gas and many other items based on use of the facility. These sensors should be tested to ensure that they are functioning properly.
• Fire Alarm Systems are a key component to most buildings and should be checked annually. This system is typically tied into the local fire department and notifies them of any issues. Each sensor should be checked on an annual basis and any faulty ones should be replaced.
• Elevator Inspections should be done annually. Most states require annual inspection and certifications kept on file within the building itself.
Other life/safety systems to be maintained and inspected on a regular basis are eye wash units, strobes, backup lights, gas detection, etc.
