Debugging and Commissioning of Equipment

One of the most critical and most often overlooked aspects of a project is the final commissioning and debugging of equipment prior to use. Rauch International works closely with equipment vendors and installers to ensure that all equipment is operating/performing to the agreed upon expectations prior to client turn-over and usage.

Rigging, Access and Containment Systems Inspections

Many rigging, access and containment system failures and accidents occur during the moving process causing damage, injury or death to project employees or the general public.

In many cases the system has been moved successfully several times prior to the occurrence of an accident. Some of the main causes of these accidents are poor or improper training, exceeding the design limits of the equipment, no marked loading zones, complacency, or the addition of new personnel unfamiliar with the system.

Rauch International provides third party inspection of these operations in order to help ensure the safety of the project.

Window-Washing Equipment Inspection, Evaluation, Operating Procedures and Training

Many buildings have permanently installed window-washing and building facade maintenance equipment that is not being used. This disuse can be the result of a variety of issues such as poor initial design, improper installation, building and maintenance personnel not understanding its safe and proper use, the perception that it does not adequately meet the building's needs, of its having been "red-tagged" or, of its needing repair and possible replacement.

Rauch International can evaluate the equipment to determine if it is safe and adequate for its intended use, provide estimates for the equipment's repair or replacement, and can put together equipment specific operating procedures and training.
