Boilers and Pressure Vessels

Permits

Once registered, a valid permit is required before you start work on any type of boiler or pressure vessel installation in the NWT.

Download and complete the appropriate form. Once you have completed the form, send it via email along with the appropriate fee to: elecmechsafety@gov.nt.ca.

See the “Fees” section for listed fees.

Installation Permit

The Regulations, section 17, say "No person shall install, alter, repair, or add to a boiler, pressure vessel or pressure piping system unless that person has an installation permit entitling him or her to do so."

Call the Inspector when installation is complete. If the installation passes inspection, the boiler or pressure vessel is registered and an operating certificate is issued.
