📢 Session Presentation Announcement 🚗 We are pleased to share that Nigel Parker, Principal, RJC Engineers will be presenting at the Canadian Parking Association's Annual Conference and Trade Show this October. 🚩 Presentation Title: The Cost of Deferred Maintenance: Why Spending Money Makes Sense. Description: Everyday parking structure owners and operators are tasked with the challenge of managing structural, architectural, and moisture protection elements to maintain the value, safety, and function of their structures, while minimizing expenditures. In recent years these challenges have become more pronounced as inflation has increased capital costs, resulting in deferral of projects, while additional capital is raised. But what are the actual costs of deferring capital projects and routine maintenance? Is it cheaper to defer the project while building a capital fund, or borrow cash and do the project now? Attendees will gain an understanding of: the life cycle of parking structures; the financial and liability costs associated with deferring routine maintenance and/or capital repair projects; identifying the need to undertake life cycle planning for the asset; and the importance of maintenance and timely repairs. ✅ Mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 8th, 3:30 pm and join us for this insightful session that promises to be both informative and impactful!

I recently participated in the industry lifting lead AP meeting, and it was inspiring to see the new initiatives aimed at enhancing safety for lifting operations. One of the key benefits we discussed was the use of Ganterud's innovative product, which significantly improves safe lifting by eliminating the need for hands-on contact with the lifted object. We discovered that lifting specialists could effectively control the load using Ganterud's remote control system. This technology allows precise maneuvering of the product while it is being lifted, greatly enhancing safety and efficiency. Check out the video below to see how Ganterud's technology and tags enable a stair installation without any direct contact with the load. What are your thoughts?

Site Inspection and Assessment - Analysis of building condition and preparation of recommendation The process of creating recommendations is a vital aspect of site inspection and assessment. It furnishes building owners and managers with a comprehensive plan to address any issues identified, ensuring the structure's durability. Adhering to these recommendations and carrying out necessary repairs or renovations safeguards the safety of the occupants and preserves the property's value in the long run. DEAXO - We make it work.
