Elevated flare inspections

Elevated flares are an important safety device for the operation of chemical and petrochemical plants.

Inspection, repair and maintenance work can usually only be carried out in ever shorter downtimes and turnaround times. Griesemann Höhentechnik GmbH and formerly Schröter HöhenTechnik GmbH has been successfully carrying out refurbishment and inspection work on elevated flares without any accidents since 2000. From drone inspection, installation and project planning through to the implementation of maintenance measures, we offer all services from a single source. We have experience in the installation of all common burner manufacturers and regularly carry out maintenance and new construction in cooperation with them.

Our assembly spectrum ranges from the replacement of flare heads, molecular seal and pilot burners, to the re-piping of flare tube, pilot gas, ignition gas and steam lines, steel structure refurbishment, to drone or conventional CUI inspections. In addition, the conservation, replacement and retightening of guy ropes and modifications or modernisation measures to the ignition system or temperature monitoring.

We are happy to offer our customers comprehensive services at a fixed price. All the specialist trades required to carry out the work are coordinated by our experienced site management team.
