Vinçotte checks guy ropes on Borealis torch pipe thanks to Magnetic Rope Testing
Besides MRT, we also carried out verticality and stress measurements on the flare pipe.
The Borealis flare pipe is 46 m high and the tallest tether reaches 39 m.
Flare pipes are essential safety components in industrial processes, designed to burn off excess gases and prevent dangerous pressure build-up. Proper operation of the flare stack is crucial for maintaining safe and efficient industrial operations, as it helps reduce the risks of gas build-up.
The structural integrity and alignment of the flare stack are vital for reliable operation of these critical safety functions.
Our detailed inspection ensures the structural integrity, safety and reliability of the flare pipe, preventing potential operational interruptions.
We faced several challenges:
- moving the MRT (Magnetic Rope Testing) device at a steady pace on the static cables
- performing three different inspections (MRT, verticality and cable tension)
- coordinating these specialised tasks within Vinçotte.
Moreover, we had to observe strict safety measures due to the high-risk environment, to ensure the safety of our team and the client, and to maintain the integrity and precision of the inspection process.
A satisfied client #
Borealis appreciated our coordinated effort in handling complex inspections and maintaining high safety standards. Their feedback highlighted our professionalism and the effectiveness of our advanced equipment in delivering reliable results.
This successful collaboration demonstrates our commitment in delivering top-quality inspections and building strong relationships with our customers.
Our assignment led to the successful detection of potential problems and assurance of the structural integrity of the flare pipe. By identifying and addressing these issues early, we help Borealis prevent future operational disruptions and maintain standards.
This proactive approach improves the efficiency and safety of their industrial processes.
