Bins and Pump Boxes are constructed following common design criteria but do not comply with a given construction and inspection standard. Bins and Pump Boxes are to be inspected following client specifications and accepted standards best suited for the service, and design specifications. By determining status of mechanisms our team can locate, record and verify defect locations, conditions of coating and tile and repair as required
Fiberglass reinforced tanks can be examined externally for remaining strength using UTComp developed technology to determine remaining strength using its Analytixs systems. As a licensed user Recon can inspect and analyze storage tanks of any size using this system.
Our highly qualified team of technicians, engineers and project planners will ensure your equipment is functioning efficiently by identification and repairs of any defects with our meticulous inspection and repair services that comply with governing standards.
Piping of various diameters and materials operating at a range of pressures and temperatures in industrial applications.
Defined as equipment exceeding atmospheric pressure in industrial facilities. With inspection services our technicians can determine the condition, internal damage mechanisms, corrosion or erosion rates and material suitability while also providing an analysis of the internal coatings and liners and the operating condition variation based in their findings.
Storage tanks operate at atmospheric pressure and are broken down into types based on design and vary significantly. The large diameter above-ground, fixed roof, internal floating roof storage tank represents the most complex design. Inspection specifications can be scaled using inspection and construction standards into different applications.
Structural components are the foundation for industrial assets. Inspection, maintenance, and repair personnel are required to account for changes to the design, on-going modifications, degradations and damage, corrosion, damaged hardware, loading, and to document and assess overall integrity.
Large scale maintenance shutdowns demand the best work from the best workers. Recon technicians routinely complete complex inspection and repair projects in tight timelines. We accomplish this by empowering our site leads to plan and execute work plans with detail and precision.

Inspections are completely dependent on the level of cleaning and the significance of the indications found. If a piece of equipment has been thoroughly cleaned and is defect-free, the inspection is a relatively quick and low-cost service that can provide information and documentation to support required inspection intervals. Poor cleaning, extensive damage, and limited access can double or triple inspection costs in some cases. The best way to estimate the time an inspection will take is to consider the age of the equipment, the findings from the previous inspection, and to hire contractors that are experienced with the required tasks. Recon cost estimates will be based on the average time for required tasks unless documentation or previous findings are provided.
Approximately 0.040″ pit depth can be enough to cause significant degradation of the sound wave.
Any hazardous confined space entry requires a safety attendant that will monitor activities inside the space without engaging in any other tasks. The attendant will be equipped with a communication tool to contact rescue personnel in case of an emergency.
There are 3 basic options when it comes to manwatch:
1. Client provided in-house
2. Third-party rescue
3. Recon provided manwatch.
Consider the type of entry that is being performed, the product contained, the availability of rescue, and the conditions inside the confined space. Before entry a full analysis of the work is required, this includes the tasks being performed, who will be entering, what gear is required, rescue planning, ensuring adequate levels of training, and review of company rules when determining how to provide the required level of safety with confined space entries. These will vary according to each site.
Entrants may require SCBA, 1/2 masks and/or continuous atmospheric monitoring.
When determining cleaning requirements it is important to consider the expected damage mechanism and how difficult the expected defects are to find. Small pits, cracks, and defects will require additional cleaning. Internal corrosion, pitting and damage may limit inspection, this may require additional mechanical preparation of the surfaces. Consideration should be given to how difficult it would be to access this piece of equipment again, what are the costs associated with downtime and is this a critical or secondary asset. Due to the complicated nature of equipment isolation, it is best to not go through a difficult clean only to finish short of completing the job properly.
