Piping Field Inspections

Piping Field Inspections

Performing periodic inspections is an important part of prolonging power piping safety, reliability, efficiency, and profitability. A key objective is the targeted and judicious use of inspection resources to detect damage in plant piping systems. Although the focus is on large-bore or high-energy piping, also known as "Covered Piping Systems" according to ASME, the overall condition of the piping including smaller bore lines should also be verified.

Pipe Stress Analysis

Pipe Stress Analysis

Analyzing stresses in as-found piping runs is at times required, particularly if the configuration has changed due to modifications or repairs since the original construction, or if there have been transient events that have affected the piping layout.

learn more
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides advanced analysis on HRSG components to determine the effects of fatigue, thermal stress and other associated occurrences and prevent losses in efficiency and/or failures.

Flow Accelerated Corrosion Assessment (FAC)

Flow Accelerated Corrosion Assessment (FAC)

Identify and prevent tube and pipe thinning caused by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) to avoid ruptures and leaks.

learn more
Optimized NDE

Optimized NDE

Risk-based inspection (RBI) is an approach for ranking the priority of inspection and maintenance according to an assessed risk to the component or system integrity. One key aspect of any RBI program is to carefully select the locations for non-destructive examination (NDE) that are most susceptible to damage, according to the component's design and past and project operating mode, while considering the resources and time available during an upcoming inspection. Using multi-disciplinary experience and tools (thermal simulation, life assessment, structural calculations….) Tetra will help you get the most out of your NDE campaigns, by providing pre-outage planning, on-site supervision and post-inspection review.

learn more
Root Cause of Failure (RCA)

Root Cause of Failure (RCA)

Knowing the fundamental causes leading to failure is essential to mitigate the risk of the failure repeating. Tetra Engineering calls on an interdisciplinary team to assess the failure (or degradation) and determine the root cause.

learn more
Performance & Efficiency Assessments

Performance & Efficiency Assessments

Services to help you evaluate how your operating performance has changed since the plant / boiler was commissioning, or to help you check the potential performance impact of planned modifications before they are implemented.

learn more
Life Assessments

Life Assessments

Knowing the remaining useful operating life of your boiler, HRSG and associated balance-of-plant is a key parameter for effective management of your thermal power plant.

learn more
In-Service Inspection

In-Service Inspection

The in-service boiler or HRSG inspection has the advantage of being able to be conducted at nearly any time. It encompasses the external components of and typically refers to a unit that is running (or "hot"), but can also encompass a unit that is ready to run and in standby.

learn more
Boiler & HRSG Offline Inspections

Boiler & HRSG Offline Inspections

The offline (or cold) inspection is an essential O&M activity at any thermal power or process plant. For steam generating equipment, whether it's a small industrial package boiler or a large utility-scale supercritical coal boiler, this is especially critical since only during a shutdown can the condition of all internal components be assessed in detail.

learn more
Borescope Inspection

Borescope Inspection

The borescope is an essential tool for inspecting of power plant components. Commonly used in high-value rotating power-plant equipment such as steam turbines, gas turbines and generators it is also extremely useful for checking the internal or to reach external surfaces of boiler and HRSG tubes and piping.
