Technical Alert – Steel Chimney Inspections

Following the recent failure of two gas-fired power station steel chimneys, Zenith would like to immediately bring to the attention of steel chimney owners our findings and recommendations to assist in identifying, analysing and refurbishing the areas of steel chimneys which may be particularly prone to high corrosion. Of particular note, there are two main issues, which will be applicable if you have steel chimneys, namely, chimney dampers and corrosion under insulation.

When it comes to the inspection, structural analysis, specialist access, repair and maintenance of industrial chimneys, Zenith is the leading industry specialist in the country with a world class in-house engineering team combined with highly qualified site operatives.

Please find below a link to our ‘Technical Alert’ which includes a dynamic time lapse of Zenith’s world class engineering approach combined with our industry leading onsite specialists safely dismantling the steel chimney.

Expansion Joint Maintenance, Cladding & Insulation

Utilising a combination of Zenith specialist access techniques, we provide a safe and extremely cost effective solution for the supply and replacement of expansion joints. Very often access proves to be an issue. Our world class structural engineers design innovative access methods proving to save significant time, which is a crucial aspect of any turnaround.

In addition, we perform a comprehensive range of industrial cladding services to structures throughout the industrial sector.

Ducting, Flues & Cyclones

Zenith has a wealth of experience in the inspection and maintenance of ducts, flues and cyclones both internally and externally. We have developed safe and innovative access methods to facilitate time saving inspections and repairs in confined spaces. In addition, we offer a comprehensive replacement service.

Our inspection services are overseen by our dedicated team of structural engineers.

Industrial Steel Chimney Refurbishments

Zenith has decades of experience in the inspection, maintenance and repair of industrial steel chimneys. Overseen by our world leading team of structural engineers, we perform detailed inspections and structural engineering analysis, including design and execution scopes. We work for global leading companies in the power, petrochemical and cement sectors.

Flare Stacks (Comprehensive Refurbishments)

We are able to safely undertake complete refurbishments of flare stacks under tight time constraints. We provide all of the required services in-house including structural engineering, HSE requirements, contract management and highly skilled on-site personnel.

Heaters & Vessels

During a turnaround it is often essential to inspect and repair heaters and vessels internally. One huge challenge encountered by engineers is the fact that the majority of the limited time available is allowed solely for the installation of extensive scaffolding to access key areas.

We design, install and operate working platforms in a fraction of the time when compared when compared with the traditional scaffolding method.

Our dedicated team of structural engineers have a wealth of experience in designing these specialist access systems.
