Consultancy and Inspection

Our value proposition includes consultancy services and the inspection of the industrial linings. We would like to be the partner of choice for our customers around the world, not only for the management of their linings but also for the operation and maintenance of all their industrial processes. We work closely with our customers and implement technologies to offer the optimal solution to meet their needs and to maximise the useful life of their assets.

Our prevention, preparation and monitoring services include the following:

• Inspections while operating
  • Endoscopy
  • Thermography
  • Analysis of the operating parameters

• Inspection during shutdown
  • Expansion joints
  • Corner treatments
  • Areas around gates, doors, nozzles, hangers, etc.
  • Unusually soft or hollow sounding areas
  • Anchors
  • Discolouration
  • Heaving
  • Wear patterns
  • Cracking
  • Corrosion

The main technologies used for this purpose are as follows:

• Video endoscopy: high resolution pictures of the interior of the combustion and high-temperature areas of the plant under normal operating conditions.
• Water-cooled endoscopic camera: for hot room and chimney inspections, making it possible to make an assessment of the interior condition during normal operation up to 2.000 °C (3.600 ˚F)
• Thermography: the condition of the refractory lining can be evaluated with a thermographic camera without entering the furnace.
• Rope access: expertise and skilled personnel for the inspection of tall structures such as chimneys or re-circulation ducts in lignite boilers
