Critical Equipment Assessments

A Critical Equipment Assessment is a systematic process used to evaluate the essential systems and equipment within a facility, such as a medical campus, office building, life science center, or parking garage, to identify areas of potential risk due to systems and equipment failure due to life cycle or improper maintenance. This assessment focuses on determining which equipment or systems are most crucial to the facility’s operation and which failures could have the most significant physical, operational, or financial impact.

This assessment involves a thorough review of historical and current contract documents, vendor work orders, and maintenance records to understand the critical systems and their relationship to each other. The evaluation includes analyzing the physical and cost implications of potential failures and estimating the costs of addressing these issues both before and after they occur. Talson ensures that each risk estimate is independently verified for accuracy, inclusiveness, and reasonableness. When specialized cost estimates are needed, third-party consultants are engaged to provide expert insights.

This focus on minimizing risks, improving oversight, and optimizing costs and schedules is implemented across all phases of a project. The Critical Equipment Assessment is a key component in helping clients mitigate risks and ensure the successful operation of their projects.
