OUR CASE STUDIES
STACK INSPECTION AT GAS-FIRED COMBINED CYCLE PLANT
Like any other power plant, a gas-fired combined cycle power plant requires regular inspection strategies to ensure a long-lasting asset performance.
CHIMNEY BOROSILICATE LINER REPLACEMENT
An existing borosilicate glass block liner system was starting to separate and crumble, so IA repaired & replaced the liner in a paper plant.
A severely deteriorated brick chimney was at high risk for collapse. IA was able to carry out a safe and strategic demolition service.
CONDITIONING TOWER INSPECTION / REINFORCEMENT
A conditioning tower in a cement plant was at risk for structural failure. IA was contracted for extensive inspection and repair work
MAINTENANCE OF AVIATION WARNING LIGHTS
Obstruction lighting systems require qualified regular maintenance to ensure that facilities stay up-to-code.
THINNING STEEL STACK RING REINFORCEMENT
Steel smokestacks are always at risk for thinning and buckling of their shells due to corrosion and natural deterioration. This solution ensures that the structure can continue operating.
CONCRETE STAVE SILO INSPECTION
IA conducted a condition assessment of a concrete stave silo. A comprehensive inspection was performed utilizing expert rope access techniques.
FLARE STACK EXTERIOR COATING / REPAIRS
A flare stack in an oil and gas plant was in need of exterior repairs due to gradual deterioration. We painted the stack & performed repairs.
A steel exhaust stack was experiencing decline in its structural integrity as a result of liner deterioration. Industrial Access provided liner demo & repair.
A severely deteriorated lime kiln stack was in need of a full replacement. IA was contracted for this project to perform stack demolition services & replacement.
A soybean meal silo in an agricultural plant was experiencing material buildup. Industrial Access inspected and successfully removed stuck material.
CEMENT DOWNCOMER INSPECTION AND REPAIRS
A cement plant in the southern United States was experiencing inleakage in their downcomer structure. The client contracted IA to perform a structural condition assessment.
A FGD wet stack at a power plant was in need of a maintenance repair plan that would restore its longevity and exterior protective surface system.
RIVER DAM REPAIR AND PIPING INSTALLATION
The crew cleared the spillway gates of vegetation debris and replaced the deteriorating sonar pipes. We have the experience to handle inaccessible structures like dams.
DRY STACK DRAINAGE SYSTEM REPAIR
A power plant was dealing with severe clogging and corrosion in their boiler stack drain cones. Our Techs were contracted to demolish, replace and upgrade the system.
COATING AND PAINTING OF STEEL STACKS
A casino contracted Industrial Access for coating services of their decorative steel stacks. The structures were washed and prepped, and a new coating system was installed.
STRUCTURALLY FAILED CHIMNEY REINFORCED
Industrial Access carried out repairs designed to rehabilitate the structure to stable condition. Strategic repair solutions restored this failing chimney to its operational efficiency and safety.
STEEL STACK EXTENSION AND RENOVATION
Industrial Access was contracted to perform elaborate renovation work on a steel stack. The crew installed an extension to the existing stack, relevant appurtenances, and new refractory system.
Industrial Access conducted a condition assessment of ten coal silos. Based on the inspection findings, IA developed a plan of strategic recommendations for repairs.
CEMENT CALCINER REPAIRED AFTER SCAFFOLD FAILURE
When an interior scaffolding inside a cement calciner accidentally collapsed, Industrial Access was contracted for an emergency mobilization to perform priority repair work to address the situation.
CONCRETE BOILER STACK ACCESS AND CLEANUP
Industrial Access recently completed Liner Repairs and Duct Cleanout Services on a Boiler Stack. A swing stage was assembled at grade, then lifted to the top of the stack with a helicopter.
