Boiler Maintenance & Repair
Regular maintenance is the most effective way to sustain peak production and prevent costly downtime. Our team helps you maintain critical systems without the burden of staffing specialized expertise in-house.
We provide:
- Routine maintenance and inspections
- Targeted repairs to extend equipment life
- Rapid troubleshooting to minimize disruption
Boiler Retrofit
Upgrading existing equipment requires careful planning and experienced execution. Our team has deep OEM and field experience in developing and implementing retrofit strategies.
We CAN:
- Evaluate current system limitations
- Develop practical upgrade strategies
- Execute retrofits with minimal disruption to operations
Flushing & Fill
Clean, protected piping is critical to liquid-cooled data center performance. Our teams flush, clean, and fill Secondary Fluid Networks (SFN) and Chemical Flushing Networks (CFN) so contaminants never reach your cooling equipment.
We CAN:
- High-velocity mechanical flushing to turbidity targets
- Chemical cleaning and passivation to prevent corrosion
- Glycol fill and hydrostatic testing to verify system integrity
Outage Support & Emergency Response
When critical systems fail, response time and execution quality are everything.
We mobilize quickly with experienced supervision, skilled craft labor, and fully equipped tool and emergency trailers. In many cases, our teams are on-site and ready as soon as operations release the equipment.
We SUPPORT:
- Planned outages with detailed coordination
- Emergency response for unplanned failures
- Rapid repair of pressure parts, corrosion issues, and tube failures
Industrial Mechanical & Piping
We self-perform critical mechanical and piping work in complex industrial environments, maintaining full control over quality, safety, and schedule.
Our capabilities include:
- Industrial piping installation and repair
- Mechanical system upgrades and modifications
- Field-fit solutions in active production environments
Passivation & Chemical Cleaning
We deliver specialized cleaning and passivation services in high-purity and regulated environments where cleanliness, system integrity, performance, compliance, and long-term reliability are critical.
What is Passivation?
Passivation is a chemical treatment process used to remove contaminants from metal surfaces and establish a protective oxide layer that improves corrosion resistance. Commonly used in high-purity, pharmaceutical, biotech, and industrial process systems, passivation helps protect stainless steel piping and equipment, extend system life, improve cleanliness, and support startup readiness and long-term reliability.
Pre-Project Assessment
Your Bodman Technical Advisor conducts a full system walkdown to understand your objectives, identify risks, and plan for safe and effective execution. This includes evaluating system layout, temporary connections, and project timing.
Project Planning
Planning begins during the initial assessment and continues through detailed analysis. Our laboratory performs scale analysis, dissolution testing, and evaluates system conditions to determine the most effective cleaning approach. A comprehensive execution plan is developed for your approval.
Project Monitoring & Management
We provide full oversight throughout execution, working alongside plant personnel and contractors to ensure safety, proper setup, and adherence to plan. Our team delivers 24/7 coverage through system startup to ensure successful results.
