Technical Inspections
RSI’S Technical group has performed technical and general hazard inspection assessments at thousands of sites throughout the country, including many major broadcast sites, tower farms, major buildings, and DOD installations.
RSI has formulated technical reports and safety plans for virtually every type of organization, from small companies to multi-national corporations, utility companies and government entities. RSI checks the overall condition of the site and describes unsafe, unsatisfactory, or nonconformance situation in a report.
