Additional Services

The supporting services that keep an inspection programme moving, from access and cleaning through surface preparation and coatings to failure investigation.

What we offer

Our supporting services

An inspection is only as good as the access, preparation and follow-up around it. These services close the gaps so a programme runs without stalling.

One team, less handover

Access, cleaning, surface preparation and coating checks handled alongside the inspection, so nothing waits on a separate contractor.

Ready to inspect

Tanks cleaned, gas freed and grit blasted to a known standard so the inspector assesses bare metal, not scale and sludge.

Access without scaffold

IRATA rope access reaches shells, structures and difficult areas quickly, cutting cost and time off the plant.

Answers after a failure

Root cause analysis that identifies the failure mode and sets out corrective action to stop it happening again.
