Inspection, Repair & Maintenance Programs for Chimneys & Stacks

Chimneys and stacks are vital components of power production and industrial facilities. Their exposure to high temperatures, exhaust gases, fuel ash, condensation, rain, UV radiation, lightning, and wind can cause gradual deterioration over time. Without regular inspection and maintenance, these structures may experience cracking, corrosion, or reduced stability that can lead to safety risks and costly downtime.

STRUCTURAL provides comprehensive solutions to inspect, repair, and extend the service life of industrial chimneys and stacks.

Industrial Chimney Inspection

STRUCTURAL, a licensee of STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES’ engineered products and services, offers several levels of chimney and stack inspection programs customized to each facility’s needs.

Our goal is to accurately identify the root cause of deterioration, assess structural integrity, and recommend the right repairs to restore performance and reliability.

Chimney Repair & Maintenance Programs

STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES provides specialized engineering and product support to help design and implement long-term repair and maintenance programs.

Working closely with STRUCTURAL field teams, we deliver turnkey repair solutions for both internal and external chimney components.Our teams ensure all repairs are completed safely, efficiently, and within scheduled outage windows.

Integrated Solutions for Chimneys

When STRUCTURAL partners with STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES work together, clients gain a single-source provider for inspection, design, and repair services. Our Investigate-Design-Build (IDB) approach provides a streamlined process from condition assessment through engineering and installation.

This integrated delivery model helps industrial and power plant operators minimize downtime, control project costs, and ensure quality results during scheduled maintenance or chimney shutdowns.

Industrial Stack Services include:

  • Industrial stack repair
  • Industrial stack inspection
  • Industrial stack demolition
  • Industrial stack decommissioning
  • Industrial stack outage
  • Industrial stack shutdown

Chimney Inspection Services

Chimney Field Inspections

STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES offers specialized chimney and stack assessment services to help plan and prioritize repair programs in a manner that maximizes plant safety and efficiency. We provide one-time or ongoing inspections of all chimney components, including:

  • Liner Exterior / Annulus Space
  • Chimney Exterior
  • Liner(s) Interior

Inspection Reporting

When STRUCTURAL performs a comprehensive chimney assessment, our typical report includes:

  • Inspection summary
  • Inspection findings with photos and narrative
  • Recommendations for non-outage and outage required repair and maintenance

Enhanced Inspection Services

STRUCTURAL now offers enhanced chimney inspections – a safe, rapid approach that provides full coverage visual inspections. Utilizing advanced cameras mounted to unmanned aerial vehicles or tethered, our team can provide rapid, total assessment of chimneys and stacks.

The data acquired allows our chimney experts to analyze the entire chimney structure and provide a full report, and to monitor specific conditions and identified issues on future inspections. Additionally, our team builds a digital model of the chimney which may be used to precisely identify locations and tests to perform additional if a more thorough, manned investigation is required.

Repair & Maintenance Programs for Existing Chimneys

Our team designs and implements efficient solutions to fix identified problems, improve safety or extend the service life of chimney and stack components, including:

Industrial Chimney Maintenance Planning

Our team designs efficient solutions to fix identified problems, improve safety or extend the service life of chimney and stack components, including:

  • Brick, Alloy, Steel, & FRP Liners
  • Platforms and Ladders
  • Rain Hood
  • Lightning Protection
  • Aviation Warning Lights / Paint
  • Exterior Repairs
  • Coatings
  • Foundations
  • Expansion Joints
  • Ductwork

Industrial Chimney Decommissioning

Chimney systems and stacks that are no longer in service require ongoing maintenance programs to ensure they don’t become a hazard to safety and plant operations. In addition to regular inspections and repairs, our team offers long-term planning and modifications to chimneys and stacks removed from service, including:

  • Exterior repairs and coatings
  • Design, fabrication, and installation of chimney capping systems
  • Liner removal
  • Ductwork capping
  • Removal of components
