& Industrial
VIACS understands the demands of production and
works closely with personnel to ensure timely work completion during
routine stops, planned and emergency shutdowns. Please contact VIACS to perform an evaluation of
your particular needs. VIACS will investigate your facility and
review your requirements to create a methodology and procedure suited to the
particular application or areas to be serviced. Below is a list of
the most common services VIACS performs
for the manufacturing and industrial sector. You can click on Our Services at the top of the page to view
all of the services we offer.
Boiler Fire Tube Cleaning Fire tube cleaning
is important to maintain high energy efficiency. Soot, rust and
other buildup can severly degrade your boiler's efficiency and
decrease its usable life not to mention, cause safety hazards. VIACS
professionals will ensure your firetube boiler operates at peak
efficiency for its maximum lifespan.
Chiller Tube Brushing Chillers are often the
single largest consumers of energy. The undoing of any chiller is
the build-up of scale, biological growth, and corrosion inside
chiller tubes. When this occurs, efficiencies are eroded and the
chillers life cycle can be significantly reduced. Preventive
maintenance, including cleaning the chiller tubes, will yield
optimum efficiency of the chillers.
Cleanroom Cleaning Whether your cleanroom is
a small soft-wall enclosure or superfab facility, it needs to be
cleaned to maintain the process or product yield. VIACS will work
with you and follow your established protocols for cleaning all
areas of your cleanroom. If necessary, we can work with you to
establish your cleaning protocols. VIACS technicians can perform all
aspects of cleanroom cleaning from construction cleaning to daily
maintenance. Whether your cleanroom is Class 8 or Class 3, sterile
or non-sterile, VIACS can clean it and keep it clean.
Coil Cleaning A coil fouled with dirt and
grime cannot supply proper heat transfer, resulting in greater
energy consumption. Equipment operating with dirty coils uses more
energy than those with clean coils. Additionally, a dirty systems
cooling capacity is greatly reduced. Dirty coils increase operating
pressure and temperature, which breaks down the compressors
lubricant and can result in equipment failure. A failed compressor
means no cooling and costly repair.
Cooling Tower Cleaning Commercial evaporative
cooling systems are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects
of mineral build up because they rely on the evaporation of water.
Any impurities in your water supply will have nowhere to go except
the pipe walls. VIACS professionals are ready to assist you in
keeping your facility operating at maximum efficiency with our
meticulous cleaning services. We may also be able to help you reduce
the build up on mineral deposits in the future as well.
Cyclone & Hopper Cleaning Correct air
flow through a cyclone is vital for efficient operation, and
materials bridging or hanging up in hoppers can be a real nuisance.
Let VIACS' professionals remove material build up and keep your
equipment operating at peak efficiency.
Data Center Cleaning (Underfloor) Because of
gravity, a data center's underfloor is the area most prone to dirt
and dust. Allowed to accumulate, these contaminants will be swept up
and carried to your equipment by the circulating air conditioning so
vital to your equipment's operation. The impact of contaminated
airflow includes clogged circuity, increased risk of fire,
accidental fire suppressant discharge, and miscellaneous health
problems. VIACS' underfloor cleaning service helps protect your
equipment from these and other hazards.
Drop Ceiling Cleaning Ceilings are a trap for
carbon monoxide, oils, grease, smoke, nicotine and carbon. They
provide a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. These factors along
with other unsanitary pollutants bond to amino and fatty acids to
create the sick building syndrome. VIACS' cleaning system breaks
down and dissolves these substances, returning your ceiling surface
to a like-new condition. In addition to the ceiling tiles being
deodorized and sanitized, they regain their acoustic, fire rating,
and light reflection values. Your working and living environment is
positively enhanced.
Ductwork Cleaning If not properly installed,
maintained, and operated, ductwork may become contaminated with
particles of dust, pollen or other debris. If moisture is present,
the potential for microbiological growth (e.g., mold) is increased
and spores from such growth may be released into the living and/or
working space. Some of these contaminants may cause allergic
reactions or other symptoms in people if they are exposed to
them.
Electrical Apparatus / Motor Cleaning With
our Cryogenic (Dry Ice) Blasting process, VIACS professionals can
thoroughly and gently clean all kinds of electrical and electronic
equipment. Dry Ice Blasting is nonabrasive and the materials used
are nonconductive, making it the ideal choice for cleaning sensitive
equipment like switchboards, circuit breakers, AC and DC motors,
generators, and more.
Encapsulation & Coatings VIACS
specialises in offering environmental coating solutions through
effective applications and technologies. These applications help in
improving the safety of workplace, sustainability of natural
resources, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and energy
efficiency. VIACS' encapsulation & coating services improve the
comfort levels and extend the structural life of treated
surfaces.
Factory Dust Abatement Dust which has
accumulated on surfaces found in and around factory equipment may
pose serious problems for the equipment itself, as well as factory
workers. Factory dust may contain hazardous materials such as
asbestos, lead, or other contaminants which may cause allergic
reactions or other symptoms in people who are exposed to them.
Machinery may lose efficiency due to dust that has settled on the
surface, or built up in vents, pipes, hoses, and moving parts.
Factory Equipment Cleaning (Ovens, Printers, Sorters,
etc.) During factory construction, managers of factories
or industrial facilities go to great lengths to plan the layout of
factory equipment with the goal of improving production and worker
productivity but often place only minor emphasis on cleaning and
maintaining that equipment. The best way to avoid potential
problems, including costly repairs, is to have a comprehensive
cleaning and maintenance program that addresses all the cleaning
needs of the entire facility.
Fan Cleaning One of the most fundamental ways
to reduce fire risk is to eliminate built-up grease, debris, and
other by-products that serve as fuel sources within ventilation and
exhaust systems. With routine cleaning, equipment life is extended
and most importantly, efficiency is increased. VIACS will clean your
fans and exhaust systems to the metal and ensure these systems are
in good working order.
Filter Rack Repairs Damaged metal filter
racking systems can often be repaired, avoiding the cost and
inconvenience of a complete filter rack replacement.
Filter Replacement VIACS professionals can
replace just about any type of filter, including dust collection,
HVAC and equipment filters. Regular filter replacement can help
extend the useful life of your HVAC units and equipment, decrease
energy costs, and reduce the risk of poor health caused by poor
indoor air quality.
Flex Ductwork Replacement Flexible
nonmetallic duct (or flex duct) is more cost effective than hard
pipe, due to the increasing costs of metal, and can easily be ran in
tight spaces. However, it is easily torn, crushed, pinched, or
damaged during installation, and has a high resistance to airflow
due to the rigid interior which creates turbulence in the passing
air, causing your system to lose efficiency. Consequently, it must
be properly installed, and promptly replaced should it become
damaged.
Grease Hoods & Systems
Cleaning Approximately one-third of restaurant fires are
caused by built-up grease residue in the kitchen exhaust system. It
is important to ensure you get a complete, routine cleaning of your
entire system. Some contractors offer a "hood cleaning" service
which does not include the ductwork or rooftop fan. While such
services may keep the interior of the kitchen looking sharp, they do
little to secure fire safety and reduce health threats. Only a
complete cleaning of the system-from the hood in the kitchen to the
fan on the roof-will reduce the risk of kitchen fires and ensure
compliance with fire regulations.
High Bay Cleaning (Beams, Ceilings, Walls, Equipment,
etc.) Buildings that require high bay cleaning usually
have large and/or hard to clean surfaces. VIACS has the tools, the
knowledge, and the trained professionals to ensure that your
building is cleaned to perfection.
HVAC Unit Cleaning One of the biggest
contributors to indoor air quality is the HVAC system (heating,
ventilation and air conditioning). The HVAC system "conditions" the
air inside the building so that it is clean, odor-free and at a
temperature and humidity that the majority of the buildings
occupants find comfortable. HVAC maintenance plays a significant
role in keeping the HVAC system running at peak efficiency.
Interstitial Space Cleaning Interstitial
space is that volume of space above the operating area's ceilings
where the mechanical systems such as HVAC duct, electrical and
piping are run. These mechanical systems often have valves,
instruments and other items which require periodic cleaning. This
space is also often used as a return air plenum warranting periodic
cleaning to alleviate potential detrimental health effects on
people.
Laboratory Equipment Cleaning Regular
cleaning and sanitizing is necessary to keep laboratory equipment
and tools in operable condition and to maintain peak efficiency and
safety.
Lead Abatement As an industry expert in Lead
Abatement, VIACS can deliver a wide array of lead abatement
techniques in a variety of settings. Using our time-proven program,
procedures and personnel, VIACS will safely and economically solve
your lead abatement requirements in an environmentally conscious
manner. Our experienced personnel use the latest proven systems and
technology to assess the extent of your lead problem, devise an
effective solution, and execute a program that brings you into
conformance with federal and local regulations.
Mold Abatement Molds can be found most
anywhere, as long as moisture and oxygen are present. When excessive
moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold
growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem
remains undiscovered or unaddressed. VIACS technicians can remediate
your indoor mold problem by not only stopping the source of moisture
but also removing the mold growth.
Paint Booth Cleaning You know that the right
paint finish on your product is very important to your customers.
You also know just how difficult it can be to keep this area of the
factory clean and flowing smoothly. VIACS professionals can remove all of the paint
build up on your industrial components and help keep your
paint line moving along smoothly.
Stack Cleaning From generator and equipment
exhaust stacks to ship diesel and paint booth stacks, VIACS
professionals can clean any type of exhaust stack system, keeping
your equipment running efficiently and your air quality at its
best.
Systems Evaluations VIACS has an extensive
inventory of cutting edge instrumentation to aid us in identifying
and solving indoor air quality problems. Our team of technicians has
the analytical skills to measure, document and troubleshoot indoor
air quality problems in existing construction and to help prevent
such problems in new construction.
Tank Cleaning Tank cleaning
can be a complicated process that requires years of expertise and
training. VIACS maintains and cleans tanks for various
industries and offers a full spectrum of tank cleaning services that
are best suited to our customer's needs.
Testing & Reporting Quality assurance is
a vital part of any construction project. By documenting and
reporting mechanical and related items that do not conform to the
project specifications or other contract documents, VIACS serves as
an agent to the owner for quality assurance. VIACS provides
independent testing services with absolutely no affiliation with any
manufacturer, vender, provider, contractor or installer of HVAC
equipment or systems.
