Our Expertise
Power generation assets — hydroelectric, thermal, biomass, nuclear auxiliaries — run equipment whose availability is measured against the production plan, not against a maintenance calendar. We supply auxiliary and water treatment equipment selected for the operating temperature, water chemistry and duty cycle of the plant, and we handle installation, project management and commissioning around the outage schedule. Performance is verified against the acceptance criteria written into the purchase order, and the handover package documents the settings actually used.
Problems we address
- Outage windows fixed by the production plan, with no slippage allowed
- Water chemistry and temperature driving equipment selection
- Availability requirements that rule out long spare parts lead times
- Strict permit-to-work and lockout regimes on site
Equipment in scope
- Auxiliary equipment on thermal, hydro and biomass units
- Water treatment and filtration circuits
- Cooling circuit and condenser ancillaries
- Solid handling and effluent equipment
Operational Constraints
- Outage windows synchronized with grid demand
- Water chemistry and temperature driving equipment selection
- Strict regulatory oversight (CSA, ASME) on installed equipment
- Availability targets incompatible with long spare lead times
Recommended equipment
- Auxiliary equipment specified to the plant's operating conditions
- Filtration and water treatment equipment for process and cooling circuits
- Commissioning protocol with measurable acceptance criteria
- Critical spares package sized to the availability target
Types of Shutdowns
- Planned annual outage (spring/fall low-demand window)
- Major 5–10 year overhaul of turbine or boiler
- Forced outage on equipment failure or grid emergency
Risks We Help You Avoid
- Outage overrun pushing the unit past its return-to-service date
- Equipment started without a formal test protocol
- Availability shortfall traced to an undersized auxiliary
- Extended downtime waiting on an imported spare part
Sector FAQ
Do you work during plant outages?
Yes. The installation and commissioning schedule is built backwards from the return-to-service date, and milestones are tracked in progress reports rather than announced at the end.
Do you verify performance after commissioning?
Yes, against the acceptance criteria written into the purchase order. If none were written in, we flag it before start-up and propose measurable ones.
