Evaluation Services - Industrial and Commercial Evaluations, Risk Assessment

The Service:

TP Riga (TP) offers business owners and/or financing institutions that have interests in manufacturing and commercial enterprises an independent service to evaluate the current status of an enterprise.

TP Facility or Property Risk Assessment

Risk management is vital to minimizing the interruption of the operation and production at a facility.  A Risk Engineer evaluates and quantifies natural or manmade hazards, and helps mitigate potential damage or loss to the facility.  

The Risk Engineer’s first step is a Property Risk Assessment.  The engineer performs a survey that includes detailed review of the facility’s location, construction, occupancy, equipment, protection and environmental exposure.  Codes and standards are noted.  From this survey, hazards are identified that have a potential for causing property loss or damage.  The monetary value of the facility building and equipment is determined at the time of the survey.  An analysis evaluates this information to determine the probable maximum loss (PML) or maximum foreseeable loss (MFL).  This result can help the client quantify their risk and make informed decisions on insurance requirements.

Further studies can be performed by the Risk Engineer to provide loss control or practical solutions to reduce the impact of hazards and unforeseen events.
