Consulting

To say HRI technicians know the ins and outs of IDLH repairs very, very well is an understatement. On average, all HRI workers have 6.5 years of hands-on, on-site, extreme-condition repair experience under their belts, and they've worked on all primary units in every industry we serve, time and again.

However, there's even more value to be gained from HRI's collective expertise in the industries we serve, experience working one-on-one with facility crews and decision-makers, and problem-solving abilities that enable managers to foresee and prevent problems. Through a variety of consultative arrangements, HRI can help you save money, save time, and keep working.

 Pre- and Post- Turnaround Consultations

HRI can provide third-party consultations prior to and following turnarounds. These consultations may also involve recommendations for inspections, or we can conduct various inspection services ourselves if requested. As a consultant in these areas, we'll help you determine:

1. Which high-temperature inspection methods are best suited for the given conditions. This ensures your inspections are performed as safely as possible while operating at optimum capacity. We also focus on protecting existing machinery and parent materials while getting the most detailed data possible to base repair decisions upon.

2. Which repairs can and should be made before turnarounds begin. Getting as many repairs and updates taken care of as you can before turnarounds prepares you for a quick and successful turnaround when the time comes. Not all repairs need to wait for you to power down, and we can help you determine what those repairs are and how to proceed with them.

3. Which repairs and updates should be slated for your upcoming turnaround, and which can be put on the backburner for later scheduled maintenance or turnaround periods. Categorizing your maintenance needs allows you to take care of the most critical and preventive matters first to save time and money on emergency repairs or larger repairs down the road. It also allows you to avoid wasting time on updates or repairs that can be held until later dates.

 Consultations Prior to Repairs and Inspections

When equipment problems arise, call HRI for optional repair solutions and recommendations prior to repairs. A repair consultation can often shorten your critical path and save money you didn't even know was on the line by highlighting repair methods that take less time, require less or no power reduction, or are less intrusive.

Prior to inspections, HRI can serve as a consultant to determine which high-temperature inspection methods are best suited for the given conditions. This ensures your inspections are performed as safely as possible while operating at optimum capacity. Our technicians can then perform a risk assessment that will help you create immediate and long-term repair plans.

 Maintenance & Budgetary Consultations

We can also work with you to develop maintenance schedules along budgetary and timeframe guidelines. Aligning your schedules with budget considerations allows you to make the most necessary repairs and updates first, and look to the future for preventive and maintenance measures needed throughout your facility.
