Providing Facilities Management and Operations and Management Services for Sites in Kabul

As well as construction, KEPI can offer the post build services needed by our customers, including total facilities management, covering all the elements of FM from cleaning to securing services supply during periods of downtime.

Once a construction or refurbishment project is completed, or you move into newly leased premises, there is often a need to carry out a range of maintenance and management functions. The Australian Defence Force had a number of sites in Kabul that needed these services. We were able to provide a customised facilities management package to ensure regulatory compliance and the effective management and maintenance of their buildings.

Despite these buildings being spread across a wide area of the city we have been able to operate a team that have set very high standards considering the challenges of operating somewhere like Kabul.

At Kepi we understand that the correct and proper operation of facilities creates an optimal, safe and cost-effective solution and this is what the Australian Defence Force were looking for. Kepi have achieved this for our client by providing or managing the following:

• Fixtures & Fittings Maintenance - periodic preventative and reactive maintenance of all elements of the buildings, including the fittings and fixtures.
