As demand for energy consumption continues to increase across the globe, maintaining current power plants to ensure continuous service and extending the working life of the infrastructure assets is a growing priority and concern for many communities and governments. This is facilitated and evaluated via power generation testing.

 

Power generation testing

Electrical, Nucear, Gas, Hydroelectric, Wind, Solar, Etc.

We provide testing and evaluation services to all members of the power generation supply chain, including power generation companies; materials, components, and systems manufacturers and play an important role in inspecting materials that go into both existing and new sites; analyzing parts that need repairing or that fail in service. 

Сòòò½APP has been providing materials and components testing services to the power generation industry for decades and has developed a thorough understanding of the materials, components, operating environments, and failure mechanisms that are normally associated with the equipment used across the industry. We truly understand the unique requirements of the power generation sector from electrical, nuclear, gas, hydroelectric power, wind powersolar energy, and more.

 

Power generation services

Testing per ASTM or OEM specifications

The range of services we provide to the power generation industry include:
