Our program combines advanced inspections, thermal drone analysis, system testing, and engineering expertise to deliver a complete, data-driven evaluation of your industrial systems.

Why the Industrial Efficiency Program?

Many plants struggle to reach optimal production due to hidden inefficiencies, aging equipment, and unplanned outages. The IEP was built to solve these challenges using a total-system approach centered on four key pillars:

Safety

Protect employees and reduce risk through proactive inspections and hazard identification.

Outage Productivity

Maximize the value of planned outages with better data, planning, and pre-identified repairs.

Plant Efficiency

Improve daily operations by identifying energy losses and
performance limitations

Profit Opportunities

Uncover cost savings, incentives, and new opportunities for long-term financial gains.

A Total-System Approach to Industrial Efficiency

Our Industrial Efficiency Program provides a multi-faceted examination of your plant systems using cutting-edge technology and decades of field experience.

With more than 45 years of industrial system expertise, our technicians identify opportunities to:

  • Reduce energy consumption
  • Lower emissions and carbon output
  • Improve equipment reliability
  • Increase production capacity
  • Reduce maintenance and downtime

Advanced Inspection & Analysis Technology

External System Analysis with Drone Technology

We perform comprehensive aerial and thermal inspections using advanced drone technology to identify:
  • Heat loss and insulation failures
  • Corrosion, cracking, and thinning of steel
  • Air leakage and structural issues
  • Hard-to-reach equipment problems
These inspections deliver high-resolution imagery and thermal data that dramatically improve maintenance planning and system understanding.

Internal System Testing & Technical Analysis

Our internal inspections evaluate key system performance metrics, including:

  • Power consumption
  • Temperature and pressure
  • Air and gas velocity
  • Particulate levels
  • Gas properties and system resistance
This deep technical analysis uncovers opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.
