A Pre-Outage Bricking Machine Evaluation allows our technician to inspect and evaluate equipment that has been used previously or is one of our older models. Similar to our New Machine Commissioning, the Pre-Outage Evaluation will help to identify potential problems with the equipment while re-educating crew members. A big part of the evaluation is training on the safe assembly and use of your bricking machine. A safety inspection of all frames, deck, and arches will help determine wear and fit of welds and other components. An evaluation of the machine overall, its components, and tools will be performed for functionality and completeness.
