"I was extremely impressed by the
information flow that I received on their progress. That is highly
uncommon and was a greatly welcomed change. As well, I was impressed
by the knowledge of the technicians, and their willingness to
discuss the job with me, again an uncommon trait."

At VIACS, our experienced professionals have a
clear understanding of the unique challenges associated with the
security and safety issues of closed custody patients and inmates.
We investigate your facility and review requirements to create a methodology and procedure suited to your
needs. Below is a list of the most common services VIACS performs
for institutional facilities. To view a list of all services VIACS
offers, visit our services. Please contact us for more information or to
schedule an evaluation of your facility.
Boiler Fire Tube Cleaning Fire tube cleaning
is important to maintain high energy efficiency. Soot, rust and
other build-up can severely degrade your boiler's efficiency,
decrease its usable life and cause safety hazards. VIACS
professionals will ensure your fire tube boiler operates at peak
efficiency for its maximum life span.
Chiller Tube Brushing Chillers are often the
single largest consumers of energy. The undoing of any chiller is
the build-up of scale, biological growth and corrosion inside
chiller tubes. When this occurs, efficiencies are eroded and the
chiller's life cycle can be significantly reduced. Preventive
maintenance, including cleaning the chiller tubes will yield optimum
efficiency of the chillers.
Coil Cleaning Equipment operating with dirty
coils use more energy than those with clean coils. A coil with dirt
and grime cannot supply proper heat transfer, resulting in greater
energy consumption. Additionally, a systems cooling capacity is
greatly reduced. Dirty coils increase operating pressure and
temperature which breaks down the compressors lubricant and can
result in equipment failure. A failed compressor means no cooling
and costly repairs.
Cooling Tower Cleaning Commercial cooling
systems are vulnerable to the negative effects of mineral build-up
because they rely on the evaporation of water. Any impurities in
your water supply will have nowhere to go except the pipe walls.
VIACS can assist you in keeping your facility operating at maximum
efficiency with our cleaning services. We will also help you reduce
the build-up of mineral deposits.
Data Center Cleaning (Underfloor) VIACS
professionals are skilled in underfloor cleaning which helps protect
your equipment. A data center's underfloor is the area most prone to
dirt and dust. The impact of contaminated airflow includes clogged
circuits, increased risk of fire, accidental fire suppressant
discharge and health issues. If allowed to accumulate, these
contaminants will be swept up and carried to the equipment by the
air conditioning so vital to your equipment's operation.
Drop Ceiling Cleaning Ceilings are a trap for
carbon monoxide, oils, grease, smoke, nicotine and carbon. They also
provide a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. These factors along
with other pollutants bond to amino and fatty acids to create the
"sick building syndrome". VIACS professionals break down and
dissolve these substances - returning your ceiling to a like-new
condition. In addition to the ceiling tiles being deodorized and
sanitized they regain their acoustic, fire rating and light
reflection values.
Ductwork Cleaning If not properly installed,
maintained and operated - ductwork may become contaminated with
particles of dust, pollen or other debris. If moisture is present
the potential for microbiological growth (mold) is increased and
spores from the growth may be released into the living and working
space. Some of these contaminants may also cause allergic reactions
or other symptoms if people are exposed to them.
Electrical Apparatus / Motor Cleaning With
our Cryogenic (Dry Ice) Blasting process, VIACS professionals
thoroughly and gently clean electrical and electronic equipment. Dry
Ice Blasting is nonabrasive and the materials used are
nonconductive, making it the ideal choice for cleaning sensitive
equipment like switchboards, circuit breakers, AC and DC motors,
generators and more.
Encapsulation & Coatings VIACS
specializes in environmental coating solutions through effective
applications and technologies. These applications help improve the
safety of workplace, sustainability of natural resources, reduction
of greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency. VIACS
professionals can improve the comfort levels and extend the
structural life of treated surfaces.
Fan Cleaning One of the most fundamental ways
to reduce fire risk is to eliminate grease build-up, debris and
other by-products that serve as fuel sources in ventilation and
exhaust systems. With routine cleaning, equipment life is extended
and most importantly efficiency is increased. VIACS professionals
clean fans and exhaust systems to the metal and ensure these systems
are in good working order.
Filter Rack Repairs Metal filter racking
systems that are damaged can often be repaired, avoiding the cost
and inconvenience of a complete filter rack replacement.
Filter Replacement Regular filter replacement
can help extend the useful life of your HVAC units and equipment,
decrease energy costs, and reduce the risk of poor health caused by
poor indoor air quality. VIACS professionals replace filters
including dust collection, HVAC and equipment filters.
Fire Cleanup for HVAC systems VIACS has the
most comprehensive resources for fire damage services, assessment,
and recovery. Hot embers of a fire will often damage the interior of
the HVAC system and duct work. Fast treatment will help reduce
health hazards related to smoke and soot. It is important to have an
experienced restoration team on your side.
Flex Ductwork Replacement Flexible
nonmetallic duct (or flex duct) is more cost effective than hard
pipe due to the increasing costs of metal, and can easily be ran in
tight spaces. However, it is easily torn, crushed, pinched or
damaged during installation and has a high resistance to airflow -
causing your system to lose efficiency. Consequently, it must be
replaced and properly installed if it is damaged.
High Bay Cleaning (Beams, Ceilings, Walls, Equipment,
etc.) Buildings that require high bay cleaning usually
have large and/or hard to clean surfaces. VIACS professionals have
the tools, knowledge and training to ensure your building is cleaned
to perfection.
HVAC Unit Cleaning VIACS professionals
provide HVAC unit cleaning which plays a significant role in keeping
the system running at peak efficiency. One of the biggest
contributors to indoor air quality is the HVAC system (heating,
ventilation and air conditioning). The HVAC system "conditions" the
air inside the building so that it is clean, odor-free and at a
temperature and humidity that the majority of the buildings
occupants find comfortable.
Interstitial Space Cleaning Interstitial
space is the volume of space above the ceiling where mechanical
systems such as HVAC, duct, electrical and piping are run. These
mechanical systems have valves, instruments and other items that
require periodic cleaning. This space is also often used as a return
air plenum - warranting periodic cleaning to alleviate detrimental
health effects on people.
Lead Abatement VIACS professionals use the
latest technology to assess the extent of your lead problem, devise
an effective solution and execute a program that brings you into
conformance with federal and state regulations - all in an
environmentally conscious manner. As an industry expert in Lead
Abatement, VIACS provides an array of lead abatement techniques in a
variety of settings.
Mold Abatement VIACS professionals remediate
indoor mold problems by not only stopping the source of moisture but
also removing mold growth. Mold can be found almost anywhere
moisture and oxygen are present. When excessive moisture accumulates
in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur
particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or
unaddressed.
Systems Evaluations VIACS has an extensive
inventory of cutting edge instrumentation to aid in identifying and
solving indoor air quality problems. Our team of technicians has the
analytical skills to measure, document and troubleshoot indoor air
quality problems in existing construction and to help prevent
problems in new construction.
Testing & Reporting Quality assurance is
a vital part of any construction project. VIACS provides independent
testing services with absolutely no affiliation with any
manufacturer, vendor, provider, contractor or installer of HVAC
equipment or systems. By documenting and reporting mechanical and
related items that do not conform to the project specifications or
other contract documents, VIACS serves as an agent to the owner for
quality assurance.
