Maximising Safety and Uptime: Maintenance Scheduling for Car Parks and Multi-Storey Facilities
Car parks—especially multi-storey structures—often go unnoticed until something goes wrong. Whether it’s a broken boom gate, flickering lights, or surface damage, even minor issues can impact user experience, safety, and revenue. For facility managers, maintaining car parks isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about operational reliability, safety compliance, and long-term asset preservation.
That’s where a structured maintenance schedule comes in. With a digital FM platform like Eaco, you can automate tasks, reduce risk, and manage everything from lighting checks to structural inspections with confidence and ease.
Why Maintenance Scheduling Matters in Car Parks
Enhances User Safety
Slips, trips, and accidents caused by poor lighting or potholes can lead to serious liability. Routine inspections help prevent these risks.
Ensures Compliance with Safety Standards
Car parks must meet fire safety, lighting, and accessibility standards. Timely maintenance ensures ongoing compliance.
Reduces Equipment Failures
Automated systems like boom gates, ticket dispensers, and ventilation units need regular checks to avoid malfunctions and downtime.
Protects Structural Integrity
Concrete degradation, drainage issues, and surface wear can escalate if ignored. Preventive maintenance helps avoid major structural repairs.
Improves Aesthetic Appeal and Usability
A clean, well-lit, and properly functioning car park improves public perception and encourages repeat use.
