SPECIALTY WORKS
Schaffen Construction delivers specialized construction solutions such as industrial flooring, fabrication, waterproofing, and other custom installations.
Engineering Capability in Specialty Works
At Schaffen Construction Corp., our Specialty Works division is designed to support industries that require advanced, precision-driven services beyond conventional construction and mechanical scope. These services play a critical role in maintaining system integrity, ensuring operational safety, and extending the lifespan of industrial assets.
Our expertise in specialty works focuses on high-pressure cleaning and advanced inspection technologies, allowing us to provide reliable solutions for maintenance, diagnostics, and performance optimization. With a commitment to accuracy, safety, and efficiency, Schaffen delivers services that help clients minimize downtime and maximize operational reliability.
High-Pressure Jet Water Cleaning
Schaffen offers high-pressure jet water cleaning services for industrial equipment, pipelines, and structural components. This method uses powerful streams of water to remove stubborn deposits such as scale, sludge, grease, and other contaminants that accumulate over time.
High-pressure cleaning is an effective and environmentally friendly solution, as it typically reduces the need for chemical cleaning agents. It is widely used in industries such as manufacturing, power generation, and processing plants, where maintaining clean systems is essential for optimal performance.
Our team is equipped with specialized tools and trained personnel to safely perform cleaning operations on various surfaces and equipment. These include:
Heat exchangers
Pipes and tubes
Tanks and vessels
Industrial flooring and surfaces
By removing buildup and blockages, high-pressure water cleaning improves system efficiency, enhances heat transfer, and reduces the risk of equipment failure. It also prepares surfaces for inspection, coating, or repair, making it a critical step in many maintenance programs.
Safety is a top priority in all cleaning operations. Our team follows strict procedures and uses appropriate protective equipment to ensure that all work is carried out safely and effectively.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) for Tubes and Pipes
Ensuring the integrity of tubes and piping systems is essential in preventing leaks, failures, and costly downtime. Schaffen provides Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services specifically designed for tubes and pipes, allowing for accurate inspection without causing damage to the components.
NDT plays a vital role in preventive maintenance by identifying defects, corrosion, and thinning before they lead to major issues. Through advanced inspection technologies, we are able to assess the condition of systems while they remain intact and operational.
Our NDT services are particularly valuable in industries where safety and reliability are critical, such as power plants, chemical facilities, and industrial processing systems.
Acoustic (Eye) Pulse Reflectometry Inspection System
One of the advanced methods we utilize is the Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry Inspection System, also known as “Acoustic Eye.” This technology is designed to detect blockages, leaks, and irregularities within tubes and pipelines by analyzing sound wave reflections.
The system works by sending acoustic pulses through a tube or pipe and measuring how these signals reflect back. Variations in the reflected signals can indicate the presence of obstructions, deposits, or structural defects.
Key advantages of Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry include:
Rapid inspection of long tube lengths
Ability to detect internal blockages and fouling
Minimal system disruption during testing
Non-invasive and safe inspection process
This method is especially useful for preliminary assessments and identifying areas that require further inspection or cleaning. It allows for efficient maintenance planning by pinpointing problem areas without the need for extensive disassembly.
IRIS (Internal Rotary Inspection System)
Schaffen also utilizes the Internal Rotary Inspection System (IRIS), a highly accurate ultrasonic testing method used to measure the thickness and condition of tubes.
IRIS technology involves inserting a probe into the tube, which emits ultrasonic waves that reflect off the internal and external surfaces. These reflections are then analyzed to determine wall thickness and detect corrosion or erosion.
Key benefits of IRIS inspection include:
Precise measurement of tube wall thickness
Detection of internal and external corrosion
High level of accuracy and reliability
Detailed data for maintenance and repair planning
IRIS is commonly used in the inspection of heat exchangers, boilers, and other critical systems where tube integrity is essential. The detailed results provided by IRIS allow engineers to make informed decisions regarding repairs, replacements, or continued operation.
Waterproofing Systems
Schaffen Construction Corp. provides professional waterproofing solutions designed to protect structures and mechanical systems from water intrusion, moisture damage, and long-term deterioration. Effective waterproofing is essential in preserving the integrity of buildings, equipment foundations, and industrial facilities exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
Our waterproofing services cover a wide range of applications, including:
Roof decks and terraces
Water tanks and reservoirs
Concrete slabs and foundations
Wet areas such as bathrooms and processing zones
Industrial structures exposed to chemicals and moisture
We utilize high-quality waterproofing materials and proven application methods to ensure long-lasting protection. These include membrane systems, cementitious coatings, and liquid-applied solutions tailored to specific project requirements.
Proper surface preparation, application, and testing are key components of our process. Our team ensures that all waterproofing systems are installed with precision to prevent leaks, cracks, and water seepage that can compromise structural integrity and equipment performance.
By integrating waterproofing into our specialty works, Schaffen helps clients reduce maintenance costs, extend the lifespan of their assets, and maintain safe and efficient operations.
Integrated Approach to Specialty Works
At Schaffen Construction Corp., our approach to specialty works is both systematic and results-driven. We understand that cleaning and inspection are interconnected processes that contribute to the overall health of industrial systems.
For example, high-pressure jet water cleaning is often performed prior to NDT inspections to ensure that surfaces are free from debris and contaminants. This improves the accuracy of inspection results and allows for a more comprehensive assessment of system condition.
By combining cleaning and inspection services, we provide clients with a complete solution that addresses both immediate maintenance needs and long-term reliability.
Commitment to Precision and Safety
Specialty works require a high level of technical expertise and strict adherence to safety standards. At Schaffen, we ensure that all operations are carried out by trained professionals using industry-approved methods and equipment.
We prioritize:
Accurate and reliable inspection results
Safe execution of high-pressure operations
Compliance with industry standards and best practices
Protection of both personnel and equipment
Our commitment to quality and safety ensures that every project is completed efficiently and without compromise.
