Boiler Heating-Surface Inspection (CFB / Pulverized / Biomass)

Water walls, superheaters, reheaters and economizers — visual survey, thickness mapping and NDT with a formal inspection report.

ScopeWater walls · superheaters · reheaters · economizers
DeliverableInspection report / defect list / repair advice

1 · Equipment Overview

FunctionSafety inspection of boiler heating surfaces.
MethodsVisual inspection · wall-thickness mapping · NDT.
Focus zonesSootblower lanes, welds, bends, expanded joints.
DeliverableInspection report with repair recommendations.

2 · Maintenance Process

Site preparationStop, cool, isolate, ventilate; confirm safe entry.
Internal surveyVisual inspection of furnace / flues / surfaces; record slagging and fouling.
Thickness mappingUT spot measurements at key sections; mark thinned areas.
NDTSurface / UT inspection of welds for cracks and defects.
Defect recordsPhotograph and log defect positions and sizes.
Re-check after cleaningRe-inspect after slag / ash removal.
Repair adviceRecommend replacement / weld repair / patches.
Inspection reportIssue report: defect list, conclusions, re-inspection interval.

4 · Acceptance & Handover

Thickness mapping and NDT completed; defect positions and sizes fully recorded; repair advice clear; inspection report issued with defect list, conclusions and re-inspection interval. Note: boiler inspection is governed by on-site measured data — thickness records are incorporated into the formal report.
