Infrastructure Support Services: Building asset management services to accommodate DND’s needs

New employees with practice-area-specific skills such as fire- and life-safety, urban planning and facilities management were hired to assist with the development of DND’s physical assets. As a result, Infrastructure Support Services, working closely with National Defence Headquarters, will now be able to deliver a complete asset management strategy that includes facilities management and preventative maintenance.
