Preventive and corrective maintenance, heat exchangers, cyclones, platforms, ladders and guardrails for chemical plants.
Before any mechanical work, equipment is drained, purged and decontaminated, and process lines are isolated: valves locked out and, where needed, blind flanges installed. Tanks and reactors are often confined spaces: the RSST (ss. 297 to 312) then requires the hazards and prevention measures to be determined in writing by a qualified person, with an attendant and a rescue plan.
The safety data sheets (WHMIS) for the products present, the lockout procedure for each piece of equipment and the facility's permits: hot work, confined space and work at height.
Corrosion and wear of tanks and piping, the condition of gaskets, pumps and agitators, and fouling of heat exchangers and cyclones. Replacement materials are chosen with the products handled in mind.
We isolate and decontaminate the section, find the cause (corrosion, fatigue, wrong material), then repair or replace with a compatible material. Our welders are certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB).
The choice of alloy and filler metal depends on the chemicals present. Steel structures follow the CSA W59 standard. For pressure piping, specific requirements apply, including registered welding procedures: we verify them with you before any work.
The atmosphere is measured with a calibrated gas detector before and during the work. No work is done if flammable vapours are detected. Drains, sewers and openings are covered, and the fire watch stays in place for the entire duration of the work.
The location and validity period (no longer than the work shift), a description of the work, the checks made before starting, the name of the fire watch and the signatures. Combustible materials are removed or protected within a 15 m radius. After the work, the fire watch stays in place for at least 1 hour, then the area is checked periodically for at least 4 hours in total. You can download our template below.
