Projects in Focus

Proven results from the field, combining specialist rope access, confined space and traditional trades to deliver safe, efficient outcomes.

Case study · Rope access & confined space

Silo inspection, thickness testing & lining replacement

FosRich was engaged to carry out a comprehensive inspection and ultrasonic thickness testing on a client's silo, assessing the integrity of the existing lining. We compiled a detailed condition report and, based on our findings, were asked to oversee fabrication of a new lining to replace the worn sections.

Scope delivered

  • Detailed structural assessment
  • Ultrasonic thickness testing
  • Condition reporting & recommendations
  • Removal of worn lining
  • Precision engineered wear plate install

The outcome

  • Silo restored to optimal condition
  • Improved asset longevity
  • Minimal operational downtime
  • Single partner, end to end delivery
  • Zero compromise on safety

Case study · Emergency response

Emergency breakdown, filter house

When a client faced an urgent equipment failure at their filter house, they called FosRich for an immediate response. Within a short timeframe we mobilised a team of eight highly skilled fitters and boilermakers to assess and repair the breakdown, minimising disruption to operations. On site, our team went beyond the original scope, completing a full clean and reline of the filter to restore optimal performance.

Additional works

  • Repaired cone crushers
  • Relined chutes for better material flow
  • Fixed damaged piping to stop leaks
  • Reinforced structural steel

The difference

  • Same day mobilisation
  • Crew of 8 fitters & boilermakers
  • Scope expanded on site
  • Operations restored, downtime cut

Case study · Welding & shutdowns

Weld procedure development, welder qualification & shutdown pipe welding

A client needed pressure pipe and pipeline welds completed inside a tight shutdown window, with full code compliance and no rework. FosRich developed and qualified the weld procedures, tested and qualified the welders against those procedures, then delivered the pipe welding on site. Every joint was completed to code and inspection ready, keeping the shutdown on schedule.

Scope delivered

  • Weld procedure development (WPS)
  • Procedure qualification records (PQR)
  • Welder qualification testing (WQT)
  • Pressure pipe & pipeline welding
  • Shutdown & turnaround weld crews

The outcome

  • Fully coded, compliant welds
  • Zero rework at inspection
  • Radiography & NDT ready joints
  • Shutdown kept on schedule
  • One partner, procedure to completion

By owning the process end to end, from qualifying the procedures and welders through to the final joint, the team delivered fully compliant welds with zero rework, protecting the client's shutdown schedule and exceeding expectations.
