Condition Assessment Program (CAP) - CAP is a thorough verification of an actual condition of the vessel, based upon visual inspection, NDE testing, thickness measurements and strength calculations.

The CAP report gives a photographic detailed description of the condition of the vessel and can be used for:

  • Risk Assessment
  • Repair / Upgrading specifications
  • Outage Scheduling
Thielsch Engineering has developed a unique position within the process industry regarding the assessment of damage to equipment, piping, pressure vessels, and other components in chemical plants, refineries and other process plants that have been subject to fires, explosions, earthquakes, bombings and other "catastrophic" occurrences.

In the assessment or evaluation of damage to plants, a broad range of professional expertise is utilized, including:

  • Metallurgical
  • Mechanical
  • Structural
  • Corrosion Engineers
  • Equipment Designers
  • Stress and Finite Element Analysis Engineers
  • Nondestructive Testing Experts

The personnel in our organization have inspected over 10,000 piping systems, pressure vessels, compressors and other equipment in various types of industrial plants, including a large number of refineries and chemical plants.  We have developed a very extensive library of information on these materials, their metallurgical characteristics and mechanical properties and their performance, including the effects of overheating, fires, explosions, shock loading, or other incidents.
