01 Start with the installed equipment
A useful maintenance plan starts with an agreed asset list. DGRB records the system type, installed components, available documents, current faults and access conditions.
The scope can cover one system, selected buildings or a coordinated facility program. Frequency and procedures follow the approved project basis, current requirements and manufacturer information.
02 What planned maintenance can include
Activities are selected for the installed system and agreed service level. The proposal identifies inspection, cleaning, functional checks, adjustment, record updates and reporting that are included, together with exclusions or specialist attendance that may be required.
- Panel, device, circuit and notification checks for FDAS
- Visible valve, gauge, alarm, drain and component checks for water-based systems
- Fan, control, damper, pressure or airflow-related checks within a smoke-control scope
- Cylinder, detection, releasing and protected-room interface checks for clean-agent systems
- Asset labels, deficiency records and service documentation included in the agreement
03 Plan maintenance around facility operations
Occupied buildings and operating facilities may need permits, notifications, shutdown windows, security access, tenant coordination or attendance from other trades. DGRB confirms those controls before alarms, valves, fans, release circuits or connected shutdown functions are affected.
Share known bypasses, disabled points, prior failures and recent alterations before work starts.
- Named facility representative and escalation contact
- Permitted work and testing windows
- Isolation, notification and restoration responsibilities
- Required service reports, sign-offs and document format
04 Keep preventive work separate from corrective work
Routine maintenance may reveal damage, failed components, unsupported equipment, leaks, wiring problems, programming issues or changed site conditions. DGRB records those findings and explains which items need repair, replacement, further testing or redesign.
Corrective work proceeds only after the scope is defined and accepted. That separation gives procurement and facility teams a clear record of what the maintenance visit completed and what remains outstanding.

Common questions
Does one preventive-maintenance schedule apply to every system?
No. The scope and frequency depend on the installed equipment, approved project basis, applicable official requirements, manufacturer information, condition and facility operations.
Are replacement parts included automatically?
Only when the accepted quotation expressly includes them. Unexpected defective or obsolete parts are documented and quoted as corrective work before replacement proceeds.
Can DGRB maintain several systems under one agreement?
Yes. DGRB can define a coordinated agreement when the asset list, locations, required activities, access rules, schedule and reporting expectations are clear for each system.
