Operations and Maintenance Services

Expert O&M services to make your life easier.

Managing your utility system can be as challenging for your business as it is crucial—especially if your staff doesn't include an energy/utility engineer. You need to focus on your company's core product, not on running utilities, but qualified labor can be difficult to find. That's why we're here.

Our specialists are trained to deliver everything from short-term supervision to ongoing, hands-on management of your entire thermal utility infrastructure.

Armstrong can provide any number of skilled, experienced on-site site employees to operate and maintain your utility systems and assets. We can supply you with one operator tech as well as a complete operations and maintenance staff with expertise in steam, condensate, hot water, compressed air, generators, chillers, cooling towers, refrigeration, wastewater treatment, turbines, and more.
