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.
Tetra Engineering provides Covered Piping Systems (CPS) stress analysis, using industry-standard software to predict stresses and analyze loads on piping and equipment. Our risk-ranking helps identify high-risk areas for inspection & Non-Destructive Examination (NDE), enhancing safety and inspection planning.
The scope can cover analyzing entire sets of external pipe runs from steam generators and other balance-of-plant, or focused analysis on pipe sections after modifications, process upsets or failures

Idle periods are getting longer as plants move to cycling or standby, and corrosion during layup can do serious damage. Pitting can penetrate a tube wall in a few weeks. In the October 2026 issue of Modern Power Systems, Misha Gadher and James Malloy of Tetra Engineering Europe compare five preservation methods and show how one coastal combined cycle plant matched each method to each system for a six-month shutdown.
