- Environment Assessment: In the environmental section of the inspection, our technicians determine if the equipment is adequately protected from corrosion, weather, vibration and other adverse influences. We also ensure that the equipment is not accumulating dust or dirt and that it is protected from accidental damage.
- Equipment Assessment: The inspection level of the equipment assessment is based on the inspection type:
I. Visual Ex Inspection: External evaluation is performed in the existing environment to detect any evidence of unsecure or damaged scale components or deviations from the requirements stated in the approval documentation.
II. Detailed Ex Inspection: External and internal equipment elements are evaluated to detect evidence of unsecured or damaged scale components and to determine if the equipment remains compliant with requirements stated in the approval documentation. The equipment is either evaluated in a safe zone or in its current location after authorization that the location has been made safe. - Configuration Assessment: This evaluation ensures proper equipment configuration including the condition and integrity of connections, wires, grounding and power supply components. We also perform checks for equipment compatibility.
