Repair and Refurbishment

Did you know that Wess­ing­ton Cryo­gen­ics are able to offer repair /​refur­bish­ment facil­i­ties which will enable vir­tu­ally all types of cryo­genic stor­age ves­sel to be returned to an ‘As New’ con­di­tion?

These facil­i­ties include :-
  • A detailed exam­i­na­tion of the ves­sel to deter­mine the full extent of the repair work required. This includes a helium leak test and a visual check on all valves and safeties by our engineers.
  • A fully equipped work­shop which allows us to carry out both exter­nal and inter­nal repairs to vir­tu­ally all types of cryo­genic ves­sels (exclud­ing alu­minium ves­sels with fibre glass necks).
  • A team of engi­neers expe­ri­enced in the field of cryo­genic ves­sel man­u­fac­ture can rebuild even the most badly dam­aged ves­sel. Mod­i­fi­ca­tions to exist­ing equip­ment are also available
  • Highly qual­i­fied welders approved, among oth­ers, by Bureau Ver­i­tas and Lloyds, to Euro­pean & ASME reg­u­la­tions allow for the high­est integrity weld repairs to be car­ried out.
  • Vac­uum pump­ing facil­i­ties allow for all ves­sels to be heated and hard pumped for max­i­mum ser­vice life
  • Helium mass spec­trom­e­ter leak test to detect even the tini­est of leaks
  • Expe­ri­enced fit­ters can com­pletely rework, rebuild and replace exist­ing pipework, valves and safeties to ensure the ves­sel per­forms in a safe and effi­cient manner
  • Pres­sure test facil­i­ties which allow us to exam­ine your ves­sel in accor­dance with the Pres­sure Sys­tems Safety Regulations

Wess­ing­ton can also repair & recer­tify your ISO Frame tanks.

These repairs include :-

  • Five yearly com­pli­ance check
  • Doc­u­men­ta­tion, cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and Third Party survey
  • Inspec­tion & recal­i­bra­tion of tank gauges
  • Relief valves inspected, recal­i­brated (or replaced) and tagged
  • Vac­uum check & full vac­uum service
  • Helium leak test
  • Lift test in accor­dance with BS 7072
  • Frame repairs — from sin­gle mem­ber to com­plete frame replacement
  • Tank & frame blast & repaint
  • New decals
Please con­tact the Sales Depart­ment to dis­cuss the repair of your ISO tank. A ‘Returns Num­ber’ is required prior to send­ing your tank for exam­i­na­tion, together with a pur­chase order to cover ini­tial inspec­tion, detailed report & han­dling costs. This cost is off­set against main ves­sel repair costs.
All doc­u­men­ta­tion is required to be sup­plied with the tank at time of ini­tial deliv­ery. Fail­ure to sup­ply all nec­es­sary paper­work can sig­nif­i­cantly affect the repair process of your tank, and ulti­mately may lead to the tank being unable to be re-​certified. Stor­age fees may be applic­a­ble if we are unable to action your repair due to non sup­ply of documentation
“Thanks very much for your extended help. I know both cus­tomers are impressed at the response we have given them and your ser­vice engi­neers help­ful­ness on the day. Much appre­ci­ated and thank the engi­neer also” — BOC
So, whether its for a major over­haul, a re-​pump or a mod­i­fi­ca­tion to your exist­ing equip­ment, allow Wess­ing­ton to carry out the work for you with the min­i­mum effort on your behalf.
