Planned Maintenance Programmes

A planned maintenance programme (PMP) is the most logical and cost effective way of maintaining the resiliency and efficiency of your network. Regular inspections coupled by Ipsum’s digital asset management technology allows you to identify faulty assets quickly, with the ability to make informed remedial decisions based on comprehensive asset intelligence.

We strive to deliver a proactive, customer-focused response to any issues detected during asset inspections. Additionally, we escalate and schedule any significant maintenance tasks that cannot be handled during routine maintenance.
