Our Aim It is the aim of DAMAGE CONTROL SDN BHD ( DC ) to provide the most comprehensive and cost effective loss mitigation services to industry in South East Asia. About Us DC was established in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in early 1990’s with staff who had been intensively trained in equipment recovery methodology and techniques. In the early years, work experience was built up within Malaysia itself but over the intervening years DC has worked off-shore in Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Brunei and Singapore. Equipment recovery projects have been very diverse in nature covering from high end technology equipment such as analytical laboratory equipment, a CNC coordinate measuring machine, and computer hard disc assembly components to an 80 feet long rubber curing microwave oven and a meat processing line. One DC project resulted in over 3 million RM of laboratory equipment being recovered from a certain write-off situation. This equipment was contaminated with products from the combustion of at least 3,000 different types of chemical reagents and compounds which had produced highly corrosive residues on the laboratory equipment surfaces. A photographic laboratory and a colour printing factory have also formed part of DC’s extensive range of recovery projects involving high technology and high cost equipment. DC has the advantage of being a highly mobile, adaptive team of technical expertise that has evolved a culture of a ‘can-do’ approach to any recovery project problem. Well equipped and prepared to travel throughout South East Asia, this team is well versed in loss mitigation techniques.
What We Can Do For You DC has a well trained and experienced team of technicians that can carry out all aspects of loss mitigation work from preservation and decontamination, to restoration of protective surface and coatings and full recovery of damaged plant’s functions. DC can provide instant advice by telephone or fax as to the immediate steps to be taken to minimise damage. Another aspect of DC’s services is that we can provide on site examination and reporting on the condition of equipment damaged by fire, flooding, chemical spill, impact etc. We can also provide, by arrangement, estimates of repair, recovery costs and opinions on service provider estimates for recovery work. If requested DC can carry out preservation work, at minimal expense to the insurer, which will ensure that the rate of deterioration of plant is appreciably diminished, until DC is commissioned to carry out recovery work. If this preservation work is carried out immediately after the trauma incident, the costs of the eventual recovery will be kept to an absolute minimum.
DC also has available to it, the services of consultants qualified in the fields of chemical, electrical, mechanical and electronic engineering, metallurgy, process technology and materials science by way of its association with Forensic Services (M) Sdn Bhd.
When Should You Call In Damage Control? Ideally, DC should be called to the incident site within 48 hours of the occurence. When there is the likelihood of the onset of rapid corrosion this is particularly applicable. In any incident where there is a possibility of loss mitigation, DC should be called to the site to verify and quantify recovery of plant and equipment. DC can give verification verbally, by brief details provided in a letter or if commissioned to do so, in a full report documented with photographs, of the present condition of plant after a trauma incident and the recovery options open to the enquirer.
