Comprehensive Audit
Expansion joints operate in demanding conditions where fatigue is inevitable. Without periodic evaluation, minor defects can escalate into failures that disrupt operations and inflate costs. Flexibel’s Independent Audit provides a full operational assessment, confirming joint condition, benchmarking performance, and supporting lifecycle-driven maintenance strategies.
Audits begin with visual and dimensional checks, alignment verification, and material condition analysis. Surface wear, weld fatigue, or misalignment are flagged before they escalate into failures.
Expansion joints under load are evaluated for leakage, deformation, and movement capacity. Where required, non-destructive testing (ultrasound, dye penetrant, PMI) confirms structural integrity.
Operational data — cycle counts, temperature history, and vibration exposure — are compared against the joint’s design envelope. This benchmarking highlights overstressed or nearing-end-of-life components.
Every audit produces a structured technical report including findings, risk classification, and recommended corrective actions. This becomes a preventive maintenance record for EPCs, operators, and insurers.
FlexAudit™ is Flexibel’s structured audit program designed for expansion joints already in service. The program gives asset owners and EPCs a clear picture of joint health and actionable recommendations to prevent costly failures.
