Solutions that matter
Preventative maintenance services
Vicinity’s comprehensive maintenance services are offered year-round—during peak usage or before system turn-ons—to optimize steam efficiency, reliability, and cost savings.
Steam trap surveys
Ensure steam traps function correctly and prevent issues that can lead to energy waste, equipment damage, and safety hazards.
Reduce Pressure Regulating Valves (PRVs)energy risk
Prevent system over-pressurization and relief valves from releasing steam into the atmosphere.
Strainers
Reduce rust and pipe scale damage to valves and pumps. Ensure heat transfer surfaces are kept free of efficiency-reducing deposits.
Heat exchanger and water samples
Ensure heat exchangers are operating efficiently, tube bundles are not leaking, and that water is not entering the system through leaks.
Steam pipe
Deliver safe and reliable steam into the building while reducing potential for emissions into the building.
Condensate return line
Avoid condensate water spills, ensure proper evacuation of condensate from system lines, and identify the presence of leaking steam traps in the system.
Mechanical room hot water loop
Confirm adequate operation of key energy transfer equipment, such as heat exchangers, which supply building heat, hot water, or other process loads.
Seasonal and maintenance shutdowns/turn-ons
Prevent pipes from rotting and prepare systems to be dormant for an extended period by draining the systems for shutdowns.
