Winterisation

Protecting your business through operations critical services

Winterisation is the process of protecting your facility, equipment, processes and products against freezing temperatures.  It is an inspection of existing trace heating and insulation systems or the installation of new systems.

When temperatures drop below freezing, the integrity of pipework, equipment and facilities in general can quickly become a real problem and is often, regretfully, overlooked by industrial plant operators.  It’s only once processes and equipment begin to experience operational issues, or once the freeze clears and damage sustained to assets becomes clear, or that a serious health and safety incident occurs that facility owners act – this is too late.

From split pipelines to complete equipment failures, if facilities don’t consider freezing winter’s before they arrive, they can expect to face unplanned downtime and added maintenance costs. In addition, if access ways, emergency equipment and water supplies aren’t protected, the threat of a serious health and safety incident increases significantly.
