Inspections IA&E & Mechanical
Periodic inspections and assessments of electrical installations, instrumentation, automation systems and mechanical equipment. In compliance with regulations, focused on safety and operational continuity.
Two disciplines, full coverage
Industrial installations require periodic inspections to remain safe and reliable. KTS performs inspections across two disciplines: IA&E (Instrumentation, Automation & Electrical) and Mechanical. Together, these disciplines cover the full technical scope of a production facility.
Inspections of electrical installations, instrumentation and control systems. Including NEN 3140/1010 inspections, thermographic surveys, SIL verification and ATEX compliance checks.
Inspections of mechanical systems, pressure equipment, lifting gear and rotating equipment. In accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), Machinery Directive and applicable EN standards.
IA&E Inspections
Electrical installations and automation systems form the nervous system of any production environment. Faults or defects lead directly to downtime or safety hazards. Periodic inspections prevent this.
- NEN 3140 / NEN 1010 inspections
Periodic inspection of low-voltage installations in accordance with legal requirements. Including visual inspection, measurement, testing and reporting with findings and recommendations. - Thermographic surveys
Thermal imaging of switchboards, distribution panels and connections to detect hotspots early, before they cause failures or fire hazards. - Instrumentation calibration
Verification and calibration of measuring instruments, transmitters and sensors. Ensuring process values are accurate and safety functions respond correctly. - SIL verification
Assessment and verification of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). Maintaining functional safety through periodic checks of the safety chain. - ATEX inspections
Inspection of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres. In compliance with the ATEX directive (2014/34/EU) and NEN-EN-IEC 60079.
Mechanical Inspections
Mechanical installations are subject to wear, fatigue and corrosion. Periodic inspections are legally required for pressure equipment and lifting gear, and essential for other systems to prevent unplanned downtime.
- Pressure equipment
Inspection of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, boilers and piping systems in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU). - Lifting gear & equipment
Periodic inspection of cranes, hoists, slings and other lifting equipment in accordance with labour safety regulations and the Machinery Directive. - Rotating equipment
Inspection of pumps, compressors, fans and drives. Vibration analysis, alignment checks and wear assessment to maximise service life. - Piping & valves
Wall thickness measurement, visual inspection and leak detection of process piping, shut-off valves and safety relief valves. - Steel structures
Inspection of support structures, platforms, stairs and handrails for corrosion, deformation and connection defects.
Approach
Mapping which installations and systems require inspection, including legal obligations and inspection frequencies.
On-site execution of the inspection. Visual, measuring and testing, using professional measurement equipment.
Detailed reporting with findings, risk classification and concrete recommendations. Directly usable for your maintenance planning.
Coordination on identified defects and scheduling of repairs. If desired, KTS carries out the repairs as well.
Inspections are part of our Maintenance Services division. Combined with our maintenance contracts, periodic inspections keep your installations safe, reliable and legally compliant.
