Services
Franklin Industrial Services has been in operation since 1984, working in industrial and commercial facilities across the Western and Central Provinces. Our focus is to preserve buildings and structures, with the aim of extending the serviceable life through predictive maintenance. These services start with a full site inspection and report of current condition detailed with pictures and recommendations. We look forward to working with you to maintain your facility and improve the longevity of your structures.
ROOFING
The maintenance of the roofing membrane prevents water entry as well as the potential escalating costs from damage to the substrate. Our company installs all types of roofing from sheet products to high performance urethanes and epoxies. We have performed many assessments, preventative maintenance programs and long-term budgeting in plants across Canada.
Waterproofing
Water entry from the base of the plant, walls, windows or any other area causes both unsafe conditions and degradation of the interior surfaces. Our company performs all types of waterproofing to walls, windows, basements, bases, pavement, concrete and steel surfaces, walkways etc. This waterproofing includes both interior and exterior application. Negative side waterproofing (inside) is especially challenging. Our company has had considerable success in this area. The moisture that is present in the basements presents both a safety hazard from slipping and a food safety concern. In addition, substrate damage to concrete and steel will escalate the cost of repair if left unattended. Our company installs all types of coatings, injections and cementitious products.
CONCRETE RESTORATION
The vast amount of concrete that is a part of the construction of your plant requires constant maintenance whether through coating or restoration of the concrete substrate. We use a wide variety of high performance concrete, epoxy and polyurethane products to ensure long lasting solutions.
CONFINED SPACE WORK
Our team is fully trained in Confined Space Entry and IDLH Rescue, allowing us to inspect, perform repairs and, if necessary, rescue in confined spaces, while on supplied air.
ROPE ACCESS WORK
Using rope, we can access virtually any part of the walls or structure of the plant giving us the ability to complete a full inspection through non-destructive testing (NDT), and benchmark your plant. In addition to inspection, we provide full installation services. These include: repair of spalling concrete and degraded metal, waterproofing and sealing holes, cracks, penetrations, cleaning (pressure washing), painting, removals and installations. If required, we can perform inspections under the direction of engineers. The cost of rope access is often considerably less than scaffold set up or boom lift. In fact, there are some areas of the plant where the only way to access areas requiring maintenance is through rope. Difficult to access maintenance or inspection requirements are accessible through this service. Our team is highly trained, safe and accustomed to the heavy industrial environment. All training is under IRATA and SPRAT.
Aging windows actively work against the efficiency of your facility causing problems such as water entry, pest control, concrete degradation, ventilation inefficiency and rusting. Our window services include design, removal and replacement as well as disposal. Replacing windows will not only create a safer, more efficient environment, but will also reduce the long-term maintenance costs.
ASBESTOS ABATEMENT
We provide asbestos abatement and disposal in complex industrial environments, ensuring full compliance with provincial and local regulations. Our certified specialists employ techniques to safely identify, contain, and remove asbestos-containing materials from facilities such as manufacturing plants, refineries, and warehouses. From initial site assessment through final clearance testing, we manage every phase of the abatement process with precision and a commitment to worker and environmental safety, protecting your workforce and minimizing operational disruption.
PRESSURE WASHING
Franklin specializes in industrial pressure washing services. Our rope access and confined space expertise allow use to safely reach any area of your facility, no matter how difficult the access. Our technicians will remove organic and inorganic debris which can pose safety and operational concerns as well as look unsightly. Pressure washing can reveal underlying substrate damage that if addressed early, prevents costly repairs in the future. In addition, we can install a variety of coatings to prevent the growth of algae.
GENERAL SITE MAINTENANCE
The overall cleanliness appearance and order of the plant affects both the longevity as well as the community optics and employee pride of place. We provide general site maintenance through many services such as bird mitigation, guardrails, safety walk paths, post-fire clean up, rust mitigation, mould remediation, cladding installation, dock improvements and general site clean-up.
