fully understand their equipment and compliance requirements. Rather than leaving customers to manage cumbersome documentation and regulatory tasks themselves, PVI compiles detailed spreadsheets of equipment on site, including detailed vessel information, inspection schedules, and compliance requirements. This not only ensures equipment is inspected within statutory timeframes, but also gives clients a clear, organised record for their own management systems. The work can be highly varied. One day may involve checking a small workshop’s air compressor, the next inspecting hundreds of vessels for a major winery. For example, PVI has worked with Vinarchy (formerly Accolade Wines and Pernod Ricard) since the company’s inception, inspecting more than 400 vessels across multiple sites, including the large Berry Estates facility in Glossop. These statutory inspections are required every two years for most equipment, and annually for higher-risk assets like boilers. Inspections often involve both internal and external checks, which can require shutting down equipment and physically entering vessels. Over time, PVI discovered that much of the equipment at the Berri site had not been registered with SafeWork, a legal requirement. The team undertook site audits, documented all pressure-related equipment, and assisted with the plant registration process — an effort that, for 200 pieces of equipment, meant an enormous amount of paperwork and coordination. “They still have to maintain it afterwards, but we can take the hardest part off their hands and make sure it’s done right.” AUGUST 2025
