Malfunctioning burners or controls can cause catastrophic events resulting in injuries, death, and massive property damage. Inaccurate or inadequate data management and monitoring systems can fail to warn of unsafe or inefficient performance. Regular inspections, testing, and calibration by expert technicians are an essential part of a program to address these concerns. For the inspection, testing, and calibration of the boiler plant burners, controls, and instruments by qualified technicians. Boilers to be tested/inspected include: 2x 500hp and 1x 350hp Nebraska Water tube boilers located in the central utility plant at: 975 Kirman Ave, Reno, NV 89502.
