FITNESS FOR SERVICE ASSESSMENT SERVICES
Understanding the safety and integrity of your equipment is crucial for plant engineers and all personnel working around potential hazards. The catastrophic failure of any pressurized equipment can result in loss of life and production downtime. At SimuMech, we engage in close collaboration with inspection departments and plant personnel to conduct Fitness for Service assessments in accordance with the API 579 standard. If your plant lacks its own inspectors or NDT specialists, we can also provide assistance by recommending experienced, certified third-party inspectors with whom we have previously collaborated.
