IN-SERVICE INSPECTION

Business Challenge

In-service inspections are more formally controlled by statutory requirements than other types of inspections. The ‘duty of care’ requirements are placed on plant owners, operators, and inspectors. All equipment should pass safety and compliance standards, regulations, and guidelines.  Mechanical equipment can break down at any time when it is in service, which can lead to delays in production, increasing costs and liability. To prevent these situations from occurring, it is important to schedule inspections regularly. This will ensure the equipment has been installed, operated, and maintained properly under the watch of a qualified inspector.
