Balance of plant inspections

Unsurpassed knowledge of rotating machinery and balance of plant inspection experience is one of our many value-added advantages. Experienced technicians work with cutting-edge industrial videoscope equipment to provide thoroughly documented inspections. Reports include digital photography and commentary.

Balance of plant inspections provide the real-time component condition required for advanced outage planning. Turnkey mechanical support that furnishes all the necessary inspection-access is available for every inspection.

Comprehensive reports are presented in computer email-friendly PDF formats and include high-resolution digital images. MPEG-type video and accurate defect measurements are often necessary and simple to distribute with our internet FTP / downloads.
