Asset Lifecycle Management
Our asset lifecycle solutions combine engineering analysis with real-time monitoring to predict equipment degradation and optimize maintenance schedules. Using proprietary AIMS platform tools, we help clients extend equipment life, reduce unplanned downtime, and ensure regulatory compliance across nuclear, pipeline, and power generation facilities. Our approach integrates material testing, fitness-for-service assessments, and predictive analytics to deliver data-driven decision support.
Nondestructive Examination (NDE)
Our NDE team employs advanced ultrasonic, eddy current, and guided wave testing technologies to detect flaws in critical infrastructure. With expertise in nuclear reactor components, pipelines, and pressure vessels, we provide engineered inspection solutions that meet ASME and API standards. Our services include code-compliant flaw evaluations, weld inspections, and integration with asset management software for long-term degradation tracking.
Pipeline Integrity
We offer comprehensive pipeline integrity management programs including in-line inspection, MAOP validation, and corrosion control. Our PICS division specializes in PHMSA compliance, threat assessments, and risk-based inspection planning. Using MVI and MAPPro software, we help operators maintain pipeline safety while optimizing maintenance costs through data-driven reassessment intervals and predictive analytics.
Digital Asset Monitoring
Our digital solutions include PlantTrak software for real-time asset health monitoring and SIIQ predictive analytics platform. These tools integrate sensor data, historical performance metrics, and inspection records to identify early failure indicators. Clients benefit from reduced downtime through proactive maintenance alerts and AI-driven degradation modeling for power plant components and pipeline systems.
Fitness-for-Service Assessments
We perform detailed fitness-for-service evaluations using ASME FFS-1 and API 579-1 standards to determine equipment remaining life. Our engineers combine fracture mechanics analysis with field inspection data to assess flaws in pressure vessels, turbines, and piping systems. These assessments support regulatory compliance and inform cost-effective repair/replacement decisions while maintaining operational safety.
