Smokestack Inspection Services

Chimneys and smokestacks are vital to a company’s performance but come with special requirements. Balancing regulations regarding emissions while ensuring optimal efficiency is maintained is a challenge we work with each facility on.

Routine inspections on your facility structures are critical. We work with clients to combat structural aging and deterioration that occurs from weather and environmental factors, such as chemical attacks, regular temperature fluctuation, wind loading, and even seismic activity. Regular and frequent inspections allow us to catch issues, signs of vulnerability, and deterioration early. This early detection can save clients from future costly and disruptive structural failure.

One way that we ensure that structures are secure, is to perform structural testing and non-destructive testing (NDT). We also perform several other tests depending on the structure; all of which are cost-effective and require little downtime for your facility.

If these tests come back showing they are not structurally sound, we work with our engineers to develop a man to improve stability. No two facilities are the same, so we have several methods to approach any issues we find — no issue is too big or complex for our expert team.
