Fachbetriebe under WHG · AwSV

The WHG inspection comes back.Every 2.5 or 5 years. To you?

The recurring inspection under § 46 AwSV goes to whoever mentioned the date first. Not the best contractor, the first one. Miss the deadline and the order is at a competitor.

Inspection deadlines§ 46 AwSV
Reminded in time0Missed0

The system carries the deadline of every plant and reminds you ahead of time. No inspection slips past.

Company names, plants and dates in the examples are invented.

Three points of leakage

Where the follow-up order slips away

The work is done, the plant is yours, and the next order on it goes to somebody else. Always for one of three reasons.

5 years / 30 months§ 46 AwSV · inspection interval

The date arrives and someone else gets the call

The interval of the recurring inspection is known in advance: as a rule five years, and 30 months for underground plants in Schutzgebiete and designated flood areas. The date is predictable. The order goes to whoever gets in touch three months before it, not to whoever looked after the plant last time.

§ 46 Abs. 2 and 3 AwSV, Anlage 5 and Anlage 6 · designated flood areas carry the same intervals as Schutzgebiete. The actual interval depends on the type of plant, the relevant volume, the Gefährdungsstufe and the location.

The enquiry waits while you are on site

The client needs an inspection date, not the prettiest quote. They write to several firms in a row and give the job to the one who answers first. An enquiry you see in the evening usually belongs to someone else already.

2 of 4 not found§ 65 Nr. 30 AwSV · administrative offence

The plant is sound, the paperwork is not

From Gefährdungsstufe B upwards a plant needs a Betriebsanweisung with a monitoring, maintenance and emergency plan. Staff are instructed before they start work and at least once a year afterwards, with documentation. A defect is not written up against the state of the plant but against what you can produce.

§ 44 AwSV (Betriebsanweisung, documented annual instruction) · failing to remedy a defect at all, properly or in time is an administrative offence under § 65 Nr. 30 AwSV.

Life cycle of a plant

Handing over the work does not end the plant

Commissioning and the first Nachprüfung are a one-off entry. After that four steps turn in a circle for years, and two of them bring the order.

04 · § 47

Recurring inspection

The Sachverständiger classifies the plant: no defect, minor, significant or dangerous defect. The Prüfbericht goes to the authority within four weeks; a dangerous defect is reported without delay. This is where the order for the Fachbetrieb appears.

Deadline chaos

Ten plants, eighty dates

Inspections, remedy periods, staff instruction, certificates: several deadlines run in parallel on every plant. On the left, how they look without a system. On the right, the same dates sorted by how close they are.

Full WHG coverage

The complete customer cycle, from first contact to the repeat order

The system closes the whole circle instead of one point in it: it finds new clients, carries the first contact, loses no enquiry, holds the records and brings the customer back for the inspection the law requires.

01entry point

Finds new clients

A search for companies by your parameters: sector, region, type of plant. The result is a list with named contacts.

02

First contact

The assistant answers at once and carries the first exchange with arguments while the client is still choosing between firms. Through to a real conversation.

03

Loses no enquiry

An enquiry in the evening or at the weekend does not sit unanswered. The order does not go to whoever happened to be at a screen first.

04

Keeps one set of records

The customer, their plants, the work history and the documents in one place. Plus the paperwork for the authority and the Fachbetrieb evidence.

05WHG core

Brings the repeat order back

The system calculates the AwSV deadlines itself. 90 days before the date it puts the plant on the work list, and the order the law requires comes back to you.

the customer returns after 2.5 to 5 years, and the cycle starts again

plus: paperwork for the authority, Fachbetrieb evidence and certification, preparation of the costing
