Inspection and maintenance on live sites

On an industrial site the work itself is rarely the expensive part. The access and the downtime are. That holds for a scheduled inspection programme, a coating renewal, a new access system, or a repair that cannot wait for the next outage. Our technicians are trade qualified as well as IRATA certified, so inspection, maintenance and installation run under a single mobilisation. We plan around your outage window rather than asking you to plan around ours.

What we do on industrial assets

These run from scheduled inspection programmes through to shutdown repairs and system upgrades. Most scopes combine several of them, planned into one visit to keep the asset in service.

Assets we work on

Most of this work happens on live plant, or inside a shutdown window with a fixed end date. Our crews are trade qualified as well as IRATA certified, so inspection and repair do not need two separate contractors.

Why industrial clients choose I.A Solutions

On a live site the constraint is rarely the work itself. These are the differences that show up in your outage window.

Built around your shutdown window

We scope, mobilise and sequence to the outage you have, not the one that would suit us. Rope access keeps scaffold off the critical path.

Find it and fix it on the same visit

Trade qualified crews mean a weld defect, a coating failure or a corroded section gets repaired while we are there, instead of triggering a second procurement round.

Confined space covered end to end

Entry, standby and rescue are managed by our own team, so tank, vessel and duct work does not require a separate rescue contractor on site.

Our accreditations

Non-destructive testing is carried out by technicians holding internationally recognised PCN, AINDT or CSWIP certification. The company is Totika accredited and Impac Prequal assessed.

Who we work for

We work for processing plants, port and terminal operators, energy and utility operators, and heavy industry.

Fifteen years and 340+ projects completed across processing plants, ports, wind farms and heavy industry, much of it delivered inside scheduled shutdown windows where holding the programme matters as much as the workmanship.

Where we work

Our crews work regularly in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Tauranga, and travel to sites throughout New Zealand. Scopes across multiple sites are planned into one mobilisation where that suits your shutdown calendar.
