Disaster Recovery Services
Restoring Productivity to Equipment & Machinery
The experts at Technical Recovery Solutions have guided thousands of organizations in the assessment and recovery of mission-critical assets following disasters. From helping small business offices recovery their IT equipment to orchestrating the restoration and re-commissioning of an entire manufacturing facility, we have gained hands-on experience with just about every conceivable type of machinery/equipment and disaster scenario. Although we have the capacity to provide “turn-key” recovery services we deploy only the resources required to meet the Client’s objectives.
Valuations:
- Replacement Cost Value (RCV) – New and/or comparable unit/installation
- Actual Cost Value (ACV) – Depreciated and/or current market value for similar unit/installation.
- Repair/Refurbished Estimates – OEM and/or traditional repair/refurbish service organization.
- Restoration Estimates – Professional cleaning/decontamination services and system checkout.
Damage assessments:
- Isolate Actual damages – Identify and verify damages by conducting comprehensive (component-level) inspections. Provide Equipment Condition Reports (ECRs) to detail incident-related, as well as pre-existing conditions/damage. Provide repair/replace options and recommendations.
- Determine Potential damages – Identify areas of the affected machinery/equipment that doesn’t currently exhibit indications of actual damage, but may have been compromised by the loss incident. Qualify and quantify the concerns by harvesting and analyzing surface/specimen samples from suspect components. Provide a comprehensive report detailing – in layman’s terms – the results obtained from the tests. Detail recovery processing options that are available to eliminate and/or minimize the potential damages and make the appropriate recommendations.
Emergency Services:
More times than not, an organization has sufficient resources readily available onsite to perform a significant portion of the recovery efforts following a disaster. For the organizations that have the resources, but desire the technical knowledge and guidance, TRS is “ready, willing and able” to provide expert recovery advice as little, or as much, as necessary and desired. Especially effective in the initial (“Emergency Services”) stages of the recovery process, TRS can quickly assess the situation and prescribe the appropriate course of action so that the first responders can mitigate further damage and provide environmental containment to extend the time available to make the appropriate business decisions and recovery plans.
Restoration (Cleaning/Decontamination) Processing:
While some machinery/equipment restoration projects are, indeed, technically complex and require specialized knowledge to execute, most projects do not require highly experienced Technicians to complete all of the tasks necessary to restore the units to “pre-incident” condition. Frequently, the personnel that operate and/or maintain the affected systems on a daily basis are the most qualified resource to restore the equipment – provided they are given the appropriate supplies and shown the correct cleaning techniques. Organizations that want to engage their personnel in the recovery process turn to the experts at TRS to ensure the success of their recovery plan.
Project Management & Clerking:
Solicit competitive bids from qualified contractors for machinery/equipment restoration projects.:
- Develop SOW (Scope of Work) and SOO (Statement Of Objectives) to ensure that the proposals obtained by the contractors are consistent with the affected organization’s goals/plans.
- Review the SOW and SOO with the contractors invited to submit an executed bid package to ensure that they fully understand the project demands/challenges and can fulfill the Client’s objectives.
- Review the proposals/bids received from the contractors with the Client and make recommendations.
General Project Management and Clerking:
Many times it makes sense to engage a “turn-key” equipment restoration contractor to restore mission critical machinery/equipment assets. TRS is routinely engaged on these projects to monitor the efforts – and net results – of the contractor. On projects that are contracted under a “Time and Material” basis, we’re often asked to additionally track all billable expenditures and audit the contractor’s invoices. Organizations that want to stay on top of the recovery plan throughout the recovery process rely on TRS to deliver expert consulting services.
