Lifecycle Services

Protecting Performance. Extending Asset Life.

Industrial process equipment doesn’t fail overnight, it degrades. ERG Hygrade’s Lifecycle Services are designed to protect the integrity, safety and performance of GRP and thermoplastic vessels, ductwork and process equipment throughout their operational life.

From reactive repairs and spare parts to full relining, refurbishment and planned maintenance programmes, we support assets operating in aggressive chemical, thermal and corrosive environments, helping operators minimise downtime, control risk and extend service life.

Our Lifecycle Services include:

  • Repairs & Spares

  • Relining & Refurbishment

  • Reactive & Planned Maintenance

Each service is delivered by the same in-house fabrication specialists who design and manufacture our original equipment – ensuring compatibility, quality and long-term reliability.

Repairs & Spares

Fast, Compatible Support for Critical Equipment

ERG Hygrade provides specialist repair and spare part services for GRP and thermoplastic process equipment operating in demanding industrial environments. Whether addressing damage, wear or unplanned failures, our focus is on restoring mechanical integrity quickly and safely.

Because we manufacture GRP vessels, ductwork and internals in-house, all repairs and spares are engineered to match original design intent, materials and duty conditions.

Our Repairs & Spares services include:

  • GRP and thermoplastic vessel repairs
  • Ductwork repairs and section replacement
  • Replacement internals (packing supports, distributors, mist eliminators)
  • Custom-fabricated flanges, nozzles and access components
  • Carbon vessel access modifications and upgrades

Repairs can be carried out on-site or off-site depending on scope, access and operational constraints.

Relining & Refurbishment

Extending Service Life Without Full Replacement

Over time, chemical exposure, temperature cycling and mechanical loading can degrade internal linings and components — even when external structures remain sound. ERG Hygrade’s relining and refurbishment services provide a cost-effective alternative to full asset replacement.

Our engineers assess the condition of existing GRP and thermoplastic equipment and deliver targeted refurbishment programmes to restore corrosion resistance, mechanical integrity and operational performance.

Relining & refurbishment services include:

  • Full internal GRP relining
  • Localised laminate repairs and reinforcement
  • Replacement of internal components and supports
  • Access upgrades to improve inspection and maintenance
  • Structural repairs and life-extension modifications

All work is completed using proven laminate systems and fabrication techniques aligned with the original duty and applicable standards.

A practical solution for ageing assets and evolving process demands.

Reactive & Planned Maintenance

Reducing Risk. Improving Reliability.

Unplanned failures are costly — not just in repairs, but in downtime, compliance risk and operational disruption. ERG Hygrade offers both reactive support and planned maintenance services to help operators manage asset condition proactively.

Our maintenance services are tailored to equipment operating in aggressive chemical and odour control environments, where early intervention can significantly extend service life.

Maintenance services include:

  • Condition surveys of GRP vessels and ductwork
  • Inspection of internals, linings and access points
  • Identification of wear, degradation and fatigue
  • Planned maintenance schedules and reporting
  • Emergency response support where required

By combining inspection, fabrication insight and refurbishment capability, we help clients move from reactive repair to informed asset management.

Built around real operating conditions — not generic checklists.
