The brief
The terminal's Ex register was a spreadsheet that had not kept up with changes on site, and the periodic inspection was due. The client wanted every item inspected during a planned shutdown, a clear list of anything that needed fixing, and a register they could rely on for the next inspection.
What we did
- Inspection: CompEx certified inspectors worked through each area at Close or Detailed grade to BS EN 60079-17, recording every item with photos of the equipment and its data plate.
- Register: every item's tag, location, zone, Ex marking and certificate number checked against what was actually installed, and the register rebuilt from it.
- Remedials: four faults raised with photos and costs for the client to approve, then repaired and re-inspected before the shutdown ended.
- Handover: the inspection report, the documentation pack and the full register available in the client's portal, with the next due dates set.
The result
The client now has an accurate Ex register and a closed-out remedials list, and can see the state of every item at any time. The next periodic inspection starts from a register that matches the site.
