Zenith’s Industry Leading Services to the Gas-Fired Power Station Sector

Zenith has an excellent track record in the inspection, maintenance and repair of assets in the gas-fired power station sector including industrial chimneys, CEMS platforms, high level building repairs, netting, high level cleaning, cladding repairs and roofing.

Our inspections are overseen by our world class team of structural engineers, and we utilise safe and innovative access techniques to reduce the time required to perform tasks which proves to be extremely cost effective.

Zenith personnel have recently been involved in the refurbishment of several steel chimneys and the dismantling of a partially collapsed chimney and have seen at first hand the challenges facing owners of aging steel chimneys.

Industry guidelines for steel chimney inspections recommend annual ultrasonic thickness measurements without specifying a frequency, and these may typically be taken on a 1m grid. However, this will not pick up local high corrosion, particularly that which occurs externally under insulation. On several projects recently Zenith has used a scanning machine which can automatically scan up to a 600mm wide band over the height or circumference of the stack and provides a much more comprehensive survey. In the process we have gained knowledge as to the areas which may be particularly prone to high corrosion.

Zenith has a global reputation for innovation and excellence. We have an unrivalled level of experience and constantly bring industry leading access and repair solutions for the world’s foremost blue-chip companies in the oil, gas, petrochemical, cement and power industries.
