Competent Inspections, Exceptional Service...
At QVIS, we apply our experience and expertise to ensure the safety and integrity of your quench vent exhaust system. We use cutting-edge tools to simplify the inspection process, ensuring your vent pathways are properly identified, intact, patent, and clear of material deficiencies and obstructions.
Our detailed, easy-to-read reports provide clear, concise, and helpful information you need to meet manufacturer and regulatory quench exhaust system inspection recommendations, while offering solutions to any possible safety concerns or deficiencies.
Why Our Inspections Matter
Our inspections ensure your current or future Quench vent pathway projects are compliant with relevant manufacturer and regulatory standards. Our services can help prevent costly structural damage, litigation, and regulatory deficits.
Every inspection includes:
- A full report with documented findings
- Actionable recommendations
- Comprehensive photo documentation
- Easy-to-understand reports that meet your site-specific reporting requirements.
How Visual Testing Works: Basic Principles
We visually examine the quench vent system to identify safety concerns along the vent pathway and at the discharge point. This can be done directly or with the aid of optical tools.
Steps in the Visual Testing Process:
1. Site Preparation
Coordinate access to inspection areas with facility personnel.
2. Inspection
Employ different techniques to detect vent material deficiencies and discontinuities along the quench vent pathway. Thoroughly inspect the vent discharge point for obstructions, identify and assess possible safety hazards, and ensure compliance with manufacturer and regulatory safety signage and fencing requirements.
3. Reporting
Easy to read, actionable post-inspection report with photos that document the findings, including: any discrepancies, defects, or safety vulnerabilities identified.
4. Remediate
Once we've completed your report, we will work closely with your facility or MR vendor to remediate any issues such as; applying proper identification or warning signage if deficient, addressing any potential safety concerns, or removal of debris from in and around the vent and discharge area.
At QVIS we utilize both direct visual inspection and remote visual inspection...
Deciding which method to use depends on our ability to access and view key components of the vent system.
