Fitness for Service
Fitness For Service or FFS assessments can assist in determining the continued operation of an asset. FFS assessments can identify pitting patterns, sources of corrosion, and cracking morphology. Additionally, our technicians evaluate for mechanical damage to determine whether components such as pressure vessels, tanks, and pipes are suitable for operation. By understanding the structural limits of materials and components, we can determine potential issues before they become larger. Fitness for Service evaluations can maximize inspection value, minimize unscheduled downtown, and isolate necessary repairs.
