OREANDA-NEWS. June 18, 2010. The facility management group City Service has started assessing and diagnosing the technical conditions of rotary systems installed in buildings. Scientists from the Mechatronics Institute of Klaipeda University help identify breakdowns in these installations promptly in the buildings administered by the company. City Service signed a long-term cooperation agreement with this educational establishment.

‘The diagnostics service is particularly important for commercial and production facilities in which powerful electric engines, pumps, and other rotary systems are operated. We perform diagnostics and eliminate breakdowns in all Lithuanian cities where were provide facility management services’, Edvinas Paulauskas, commercial director of City Service, said.

‘We assess the current technical condition of rotary systems, forecast their operation, and identify defects which are virtually impossible to detect in the absence of special measurement devices and analysis. Diagnostics enables the prevention of unexpected breakdowns and emergencies, which in most cases lead to considerable financial losses’, Dr Pranas Mazheika, director of the Mechatronics Institute of Klaipeda University, said. Dr Mazheika has completed monitoring procedures at Vichy Aquapark, which is serviced by City Service.   

Scientists use portable monitoring and diagnostics systems to conduct studies of rotary systems. On completion of a study, the experts present a comprehensive assessment of the technical condition of rotary machinery. 

The scientists of the institute have been engaged in the monitoring, technical assessment, and diagnostics of rotary systems and development of new study methods since 2005. 

City Service comprises 33 companies operating in Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, and Ukraine. The total area of the buildings administered by City Service equals almost 18 million square metres.

The shares of City Service are quoted on the Official List of NASDAQ OMX Vilnius.
