Operation & Maintenance Services

Armstrong Service wants to help you achieve your utility and energy cost-reduction goals. By customizing our Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Services option, we can stabilize or lower your overall utility expenses. Our goal is to implement utility best practices that will maximize efficiency in the face of rising energy costs.

For more than 100 years, Armstrong has been developing and perfecting best practices for utility operations and maintenance. We offer utility management options that are customized for your specific priorities. Our experts will work directly with your management team to ensure that your energy system infrastructure is maintained efficiently and safely.

Our Operation and Maintenance Services include:

• Audit Services. Armstrong can analyze portions or all of your O&M functions, recommend areas of improvement and estimate payback potential.
• Oversight Support Services. Armstrong can provide continuing oversight and advise on areas of improvement. Regular reporting to management can also be provided.
• On-site O&M Leadership Service. Armstrong can provide an on-site employee who will provide the daily leadership needed to handle all responsibilities for the O&M function.
• On-site O&M Integrated Services. Armstrong can provide a complete on-site staff or employ current plant staff and handle the daily O&M functions.

See what we’ve done:

• For a Fortune 500 automobile parts supplier—Armstrong Service, Inc., provided on-site expertise that lowered the operating costs at one of this company’s plants. As the primary management team for operations and maintenance, our experts designed and installed utility upgrade projects to lower energy costs, and improved the knowledge base and morale of the site’s operators.
• For a Fortune 500 food processor—By placing six Armstrong employees on site, this company saw its overall utility costs go down in the face of rising energy costs, while avoiding $2 million in capital upgrades. Armstrong’s site supervisor was a true partner, taking responsibility for the utility system’s efficiency, reliability and reporting
• For a Fortune 500 chemical company—Armstrong helped produce annual energy savings of more than $500,000 by identifying and implementing seven utility projects. Financing, provided by Armstrong, enabled this savings to immediately offset costs and eliminate a large capital outlay.
• For a major Midwestern university—Armstrong provided oversight support services for the O&M responsibilities after the university designed and built a free-standing boiler house to meet all the steam and chilled water requirements for its new 450,000-square-foot College of Engineering.

Armstrong provides a wide range of services, from customized needs assessments to complete utility system design and engineering. In addition, Armstrong experts can help optimize existing system operation and provide maintenance and monitoring services.
