Fossil plant high-energy piping (HEP) systems — including main steam, hot reheat, cold reheat, and feedwater piping — are high-stakes systems that require meticulous management. Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SI) offers its clients integrated, multidisciplinary HEP management programs to ensure the safe and reliable operation of these crucial systems. The approach uses the SI-developed Vindex© methodology to risk-rank HEP welds for evaluation, taking into account stress, materials, inspection data, and fabrication processes. Cutting-edge nondestructive examination techniques are then deployed to detect and quantify HEP damage mechanisms, followed by advanced analytical tools to predict serviceability and facilitate run/repair/replace decisions.
