Chimneys and cooling towers act as heat devices, employed to transfer the processes’ waste heat to the atmosphere. During this process, highly corrosive gases and vapours that may compromise the entire structure are released. These assets, still, operate under extreme conditions, and ambient temperatures, being vulnerable to additional loads imposed by the wind and the installations’ operating temperatures. 

EQS Global inspection team uses advanced technologies of non-destructive testing and assisted inspection techniques, such as rope access, to assess the structural condition and to develop detailed materials’ characterization. These tools enable EQS Global to manage and extend the asset useful life. EQS Global also provides support to its clients in the definition of the best maintenance and rehabilitation strategies.
