Can Fire-Damaged Precision Equipment Be Restored? | BELFOR Case Study

Precision research equipment exposed to soot and corrosion following a fire can often be restored, depending on the extent of the damage.

This video showcases a real-world precision equipment and building fire restoration project carried out by BELFOR Korea at a research facility in South Korea, where a fire broke out during battery charging and discharging tests. The fire caused soot contamination to spread into the internal components of high-value laboratory equipment, including battery charge-discharge testers and environmental test chambers.

BELFOR Korea assessed the equipment’s restoration potential and performed specialized restoration work, including equipment disassembly, precision cleaning, wet cleaning, corrosion removal, and corrosion protection treatment.
Following restoration, the team verified the equipment’s operating parameters. The project was completed in approximately four months, achieving estimated cost savings of over KRW 2 billion compared with purchasing new equipment.
