SI provides innovative consulting services related to large steam and combustion turbines used for electrical power generation.
Typical services include turbine component condition assessment, failure root cause determination, remaining life prediction, mechanical and aero-thermal performance assessment, dynamic testing and monitoring, corrosion and steam chemistry monitoring, and analysis/ testing of dynamic excitation and response.
SI has evaluated numerous cracking problems in turbine rotors and blade attachments, as well as in generator retaining rings. Using our sophisticated fracture mechanics tools, including probabilistic fracture mechanics, we have often been able to justify continued, safe operation when OEMs and others have recommended repair or replacement.
