Retired Chief Inspector of Virginia to Head New Company
Richmond, VA -- February 26, 2008 --Insparisk today announced that it has launched Monument Inspection Services to provide boiler and pressure vessel inspections in the state of Virginia. A subsidiary of Insparisk, Monument will provide jurisdictional inspections for low and high pressure boilers, water heaters and air tanks.
Fred Barton, the recently retired Chief Boiler Inspector, Department of Labor and Industry, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, will serve as Technical Director, Monument Inspection Services. The company will serve the entire Commonwealth including Richmond, Norfolk, Virginia Beach and the Washington, DC suburbs in Northern Virginia.
“I am pleased to be joining a company that will increase the safety and accuracy of inspections in the state of Virginia through its innovative use of technology and will also streamline the process significantly,” commented Barton, Technical Director, Monument Inspection Services.
Monument Inspection Services has considerable technology advantages over its competitors in the state. The company’s inspectors will use mobile tablets in the field and advanced online software, resulting in highly efficient and accurate services. All safety inspection information will be easily accessible for customers online via a secure web site. Information available online will include account data, job status, and digital photographs. The site also allows fee payments online.
“We are confident that the services of Monument Inspection Services will meet an important market need in Virginia,” stated Stephen Kleva, President and CEO of parent company Insparisk. “Most of our competitors are still using pads and pencils to record and track boiler inspections. We have learned first hand from 15 + years of experience in New York City the cost savings and increased accuracy and efficiency of automating the process.”
The company estimates that there are 70,000 inspectable objects in Virginia including unfired pressure vessels, water heaters, air tanks and low pressure boilers. Inspections have been required in Virginia since 1974. Commercial buildings and residential buildings that have more than four families must be inspected biannually.
Monument Inspection Services will perform inspections on behalf of building owners, property managers, governmental agencies, P&C insurance carriers and others.
Monument Inspection Services was formed as a subsidiary of Insparisk in February 2008. Monument Inspection Services’ sister company in New York City is City Spec. Stephen Kleva has led the company as President and CEO since 2005. For more information on Insparisk, visit www.insparisk.com.
