Critical Flange Management
PK Technology’s Flange Management solution provides clients with a digital solution to track critical flanges. This service provides the client with a real-time tracking system of the progress and chokepoints during a turnaround. Images of each flange face can be reviewed in virtual, real-time, giving the client greater transparency and certainty of flange repair or replacement decisions. To date, all projects utilizing PK’s process have been deemed successful by the client, with on-schedule completion and a leak-free start-up. Coupling PK services with out in-house developed technology, intelliSPEC™ provides clients with:
Accuracy of data due to consistent mobile inspection forms
Efficiency of inspection by controlled workflow process within an IDMS
