Power Plant Construction

Energy in transition. Whether you are an energy supplier, power plant operator, refinery, LNG terminal, coal-fired power plant or nuclear power plant, we can support you in new construction as well as in regular maintenance and inspection work on your existing plants.

Zeppelin is your reliable partner when it comes to providing inspectors with power plant experience. For energy suppliers, we have a lot to offer: As a DAkkS testing laboratory accredited according to DIN EN 17025, we provide testing personnel experienced according to DIN EN 9712 and thus accompany the testing activities that arise during the life cycle of any power plant or large-scale plant. It goes without saying that we are available to you with proof of suitability in accordance with KTA 1401 for work in nuclear facilities. Our inspection personnel are very familiar with the demanding requirements for occupational safety and documentation in power plants.

Where access is difficult due to height, our climbing teams are always at work.

In the utility sector, our inspection teams regularly inspect in the district heating or gas supply area and provide safety before the pipelines are (re)connected to the grid.

On power plant construction sites, occupational safety is a topic: here, you and your subcontractors are always safely supervised by our SiGeKos or our experienced trainers.

Magnetic particle inspection (MT)

Cracks or near-surface flaws located on ferromagnetic components can be detected with magnetic particle inspection. Depending on the size of the component to be inspected, a mobile magnetic yoke or solenoid coil is used.

X-ray testing (RT) film

X-ray testing is one of the oldest test methods for reliably detecting detect deeper volume defects with certainty. Depending on the nature of the of the component, the radiographic medium varies. Traditionally, the evaluation is carried out via X-ray film.

X-ray inspection (RT) Non Film

Even though the technical procedure for X-ray remains the same, digital storage media such as imaging plates have become increasingly popular in recent years. In addition to the recyclability of the films, the rapid availability of the images is a plus.

Ultrasonic testing (UT)

If the inner surface of a component is not accessible, ultrasonic testing is usually used to find defects. For example, aircraft structures can be inspected reliably or wall thickness measurements can be carried out on ships.

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)

Phased array ultrasonic testing uses phased array technology to visualize complex volume defects in a wide variety of materials. As a mature volume inspection method, PAUT is often a substitute for "radiant" X-ray inspection.

Leak Test (LT)

In order to detect the smallest leaks in vessels, tanks, heat exchangers or other plant components, helium is the preferred test gas for industrial leak detection.

Further information

Endoscopy

Rigid or flexible endoscopes can be used for visual inspections in cavities and vessels that are difficult to see. The same applies to internal inspection of pipes and piping systems and other complex component geometries.

Further information

Industrial climbing

Rope access techniques, also known as industrial climbing, enable rope-supported work at great heights. This eliminates the need for working platforms or scaffolding during testing operations: Cost and time savings for our customer.

Further information

Safety engineering support

According to the Occupational Safety Act, an employer must efficiently implement accident prevention regulations and findings for improving occupational safety in his company. He receives support from the specialists for occupational safety.

Further information

Safety coordinator - SiGeKo

According to the Ordinance on Safety and Health on Construction Sites, if employees of several employers are working on a construction site, a safety coordinator (SiGeKo) must be appointed by the client for the planning and execution phase.

Further information

Occupational safety training

In accordance with the principles of the employers' liability insurance association, only a trained, instructed employee may be assigned to drive, operate or control work machines and equipment. Stay "safe" with our comprehensive Zeppelin training program.

Work and operating equipment testing

Both the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) and the regulations of the German Social Accident Insurance Institutions (DGUV rules) specify the requirements for regular testing of work and operating equipment in the company.
