Lasso Maintenance has developed a unique fireproofing audit process to help our clients’ engineering departments to access fire hazard zones that reflect the most recent plant configuration processes. The fireproofing audit process includes a field audit phase to locate, identify and document facilities in order to prioritize deficiencies and rank functional life span of existing systems. The fireproofing audit process also generates a number of strategic benefits for our clients including a proactive planning tool to address deficient fire protection issues, identify high risk structural failures and an accurate estimate of maintenance costs for future fireproofing.
Lasso Maintenance continues to be recognized as a leading provider of abrasive blasting services within the industrial market. Abrasive blasting provides a number of significant advantages for our clients, most notably easier and more effective inspections and more efficient and timely equipment repairs. Abrasive blasting combined with our painting and coatings expertise enables our clients’ facilities and equipment to be well maintained and have an extended operating cycle.
