Learning from others' mistakes can result in significant cost and efficiency savings. Don't make these common mistakes that other maintenance facility owners and operators now wish they could change:
  • Using sodium vapor lighting for work areas, which causes poor color rendition and employee stress. (Instead, use metal halide fixtures.)
  • Low ceilings or other building systems that obstruct vertical clearance.
  • Use of load-bearing walls that restrict future modification or expansion of the facility. (Use the structural system to provide needed support, not the walls.)
  • Sloping floors that permit vehicles, toolboxes or equipment to roll.
  • Porous concrete floors that soak up oil and discolor. (Instead,use light colored pigmented hardener and clear sealer.)
  • Inadequate ventilation that causes buildup of exhaust and fumes.
  • Overhead doors that are too short or narrow, causing problems with vehicle access
