Your most expensive utility.
Compressed air can be a significant facility cost. Relign scopes compressor maintenance, leak detection, air quality checks and system reviews from the compressor room to the point of use.

The symptoms that point back to the air system
A compressor-room issue can show up as erratic operation at the point of use. These are useful symptoms to include in a service request.
Pressure drops
The compressor is making 125 PSI but the tool only sees 90 PSI. The fix is usually distribution: dead legs, undersized piping, leaks — not a bigger compressor.
Calgary winter makeup air can overload dryers, freeze outdoor air lines, corrode piping, and make pneumatic actuators behave erratically.
Carryover & cost
Separator carryover can coat FRL assemblies, clog solenoid valves, and create product-quality problems at the point of use.
A scoped survey can walk the distribution lines and tag observed leaks. Follow-up records and any preventive maintenance cadence are defined in the accepted work.
What can be inspected
Potential checkpoints from the compressor room to the point of use. The quote defines which equipment, readings and repairs are included.
Use equipment context, not a generic calendar
An illustrative program structure; not a customer record or proof of a current installed program.
Serviced by run-hours
Run-hours can inform service intervals when the equipment makes that data available and the program includes it.
Unit specifications and observed wear can be used to plan the parts needed for a future PM window.
Close the loop
The record can include oil condition, separator behaviour, dryer readings, leak tags and point-of-use findings when named in scope.
Use the inspection findings to plan wearing parts for the next visit instead of waiting for an urgent callout.
Calgary service requests
Compressed-air work may overlap industrial millwright scope. Equipment support, travel and current availability are confirmed for each request.
Common questions
Four questions to resolve before a compressed-air assessment is accepted.
01How much do compressed air leaks cost?
Leak cost depends on pressure, orifice size, compressor efficiency and operating hours. A scoped survey can identify and tag observed leaks; projected savings require site measurements rather than a generic promise.
02How often should compressor oil and filters be changed?
Use the manufacturer interval together with run-hours, environment and observed condition. A service scope can include oil condition, filter differential pressure and separator observations where applicable.
03What brands of compressors do you service?
Provide the make, model, serial number and warranty status. Relign will confirm the supported mechanical scope and whether an authorized dealer or another specialist is required before work is accepted.
04Do you service pneumatic systems downstream of the compressor?
A request can include valve terminals, FRL assemblies and pneumatic cylinders at the point of use. The accepted scope must identify the system boundary and any electrical or controls responsibility.
