WHAT’S NEW? FSI TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTS
MOTHBALLING DURING CRISIS FSI has announced a solution for customers faced with the challenge of now managing the maintenance of partially or completely unoccupied properties.
Users of the company’s Concept Evolution System have access to automated processes allowing for quick and easy instigation of the ‘Mothballing’ of a building. This automatically switches the planned maintenance regime over to a maintenance plan that is in line with ‘mothballed’ or unoccupied buildings. This same ‘mothballing’ process also creates a number of management activities to be undertaken as the building is decommissioned and then subsequently reactivated.
When a building is initially ‘mothballed’ it must be prepared for long term vacancy through actions such as the decommissioning of redundant fixtures, final perimeter security checks and re-
ESSITY JOINS THE FIGHT
AGAINST COVID-19 Tork manufacturer Essity says it has been going the extra mile to protect the vulnerable and support those on the frontline and in most need of supplies during the Covid-19 crisis.
Essity’s Communications Director Renée Remijnse said: “Essity has donated $200,000 to the United Nations Foundation to support the World Health Organisation’s lifesaving work in this area. Essity has also donated 51,600 items of personal protective equipment including masks, gloves and glasses to Italy to support local hospitals as they face the COVID-19 emergency.”
Meanwhile, a truck containing 44 pallets of baby nappies and feminine protection has been sent to help communities in Lesvos, Greece. The company has also donated 14,000 rolls of Tork toilet paper to the American Red Cross and Albany- based Living Resources.
The company has streamlined its output and is now focusing on manufacturing those items that are

calibration of BMS or heating systems to enter ‘winter mode’. If, after time, the building is then being returned to some form of occupancy a reverse series of tasks are required as well as additional activities such as deep cleaning.
Upon the property being unoccupied it is not simply the case that maintenance activity will also stop. At the very least the frequency of existing planned maintenance tasks is likely to change but, in some cases, more maintenance tasks are required to keep the building ticking over. The introduction of low usage maintenance
in greatest demand. The company is also working hard to safeguard the health of its staff.
“Taking care of our employees’ health remains our priority,” said Renée. “When confronted with an imminent shortage of so-called ‘visitor masks’ in some of our factories, our R&D and technology departments teamed up with Mölnlycke in Sweden to design and produce the necessary masks in record time.
“In just one week the team managed to convert a test line into a production line and successfully produced more than 100,000 face masks. Essity has been cooperating with the Swedish government and is now also able to make a higher-grade mask that will be used in healthcare. The ambition is to initially produce three million surgical masks, with the first million being donated by Essity.”
The company is working with the Private Organisations for Patient Safety, WHO and local governments to prioritise the supply of products to healthcare customers.
Essity has also donated 100,000 essential items including toilet rolls and household towels to In Kind Direct and 60,000 toilet rolls to local community groups in the North East of England.
Essity’s Tork brand, which manufacturers toilet tissue, soap, hand towels and hand sanitisers, has uploaded information about keeping safe from COVID-19 on its Tork website. This can be viewed at:

schedules, Legionella testing and flushing of water systems and management of insurance inspections are key examples in keeping the property functional and compliant.
Concept Evolution then ensures that, upon restrictions being lifted and people return to office spaces, the predicted changes to industry maintenance recommendations and standards are easily adopted and mobilised.
