Utilizing advanced non-destructive testing (NDT), thermal imaging, and data analytics, our Power Plant Inspection & Integrity services ensure compliance, efficiency, and long-term asset reliability.
Vendor Qualification
Our vendor qualification service helps our clients focus on the complete elimination of any deficiencies in design, manufacturing, or processing. This ensures that plant owners and operators are confident that the equipment entering service will perform as intended by the design.
Inspection & Non-Destructive Testing
We offer a comprehensive range of conventional NDT services, including:
- Visual inspection incl. hangers and supports, hot and cold walk down
- Laser mapping incl. piping systems and turbine rotors
- Metallographic replication
- Magnetic particle (MPI)
- Dye penetrant (DP)
- Boroscopy
- Rotational inspection
- Ultrasonic testing (UT) incl. wall thickness and oxide thickness measurement
- Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT)
- Remote field eddy current testing (RFET)
- Pulsed eddy current (PEC)
- Low frequency electromagnetic testing (LFET)
- Balanced field electromagnetic testing (BFET)
This in addition to our advanced inspection services, including Electrical Discharge Sampling Equipment (EDSE), Integrity Scanning Force Microscope (I-SFM).
Risk Based Inspection & Maintenance
Our Risk Based Maintenance (RBM)
procedure known as ‘Riskfit’ is used to
identify and measure the risk areas. This
allows optimised allocation of inspection
and maintenance resources
Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
Reliability centred maintenance (RCM) is an engineering framework that uses predictive maintenance techniques to empirically devise optimum maintenance regimes with greater reliability and cost efficiency in operation. We design and implement RCM programs for plants and major critical systems, or review and update existing programs, for optimum plant performance.
Defect & Crack Assessment
We offer defect assessment for high temperature plant components including pressure vessels, piping, and turbines. We have also developed our own defect assessment software ‘Crackfit‘, in collaboration with European industry, based on the internationally recognised High- temperature Defect Assesment (HIDA).
Fitness For Service
We assess the fitness for service of plant
components and material under operating
conditions, which can confirm that a
material or component is safe to use, give
advanced warning of in-service failures and
resolve disputes between suppliers and
operators.
Combined Cycle & Heat Recovery Steam Generators
Combined-cycle and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) units lead a life complicated due to rapid starts, thermal transients, cycle chemistry issues, and improperly designed attemperator systems. We help clients deal with the resulting tube failures, flow-accelerated corrosion, piping expansion damage, weld cracks, and other consequences as well as training to improve the plant performance.
Power Plant Inspection & Asset Integrity
Our Power Plant Inspection services are an integral part of our asset integrity offerings. These services provide clients with the necessary insights to make informed decisions regarding the operation and maintenance of their power plant, including pressure parts, boilers, turbines, and other critical components. By conducting thorough inspections, we assist clients in managing the risks associated with their operations and ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of their power plant assets.
Stress Analysis
We offer in-house finite element (FE) modelling of plant components. FE modelling can help in several circumstances – at the design phase, when looking for stress concentrations and deciding the placement of welds, and in life assessment to determine stresses operating in more complex geometries such as headers, rotors etc.
Probabilistic Life Assessment
We provide realistic estimates of component remaining life. Our probabilistic life assessment methodologies provide more accurate results than the more commonly used deterministic life assessments.
