Structural Integrity Associates (SIA) provides comprehensive, fully integrated solutions for life assessment, life extension, inspection, failure analysis, and online monitoring of steam turbines, gas turbines, generator equipment, and plant auxiliaries. SI’s multidisciplinary team has decades of experience and a deep understanding of turbine-generator design, operation, maintenance, and industry issues. Our holistic approach ranges from proactive management plans to emergent analysis and inspections and offers unprecedented value, emphasizing maximizing the life of existing assets in a safe, risk-informed fashion.
SIA is an industry leader in the development of advanced analytical tools for rotor lifeing. Our extensive experience includes analysis of hundreds of rotors from every major manufacturer. SIA’s intelligence and proven capabilities empower us to make recommendations to balance life versus risk to optimize capital planning.
SIA has decades of NDE expertise. Our focus on technological development and its efficient application allows SI to deploy a faster, less invasive, and lower-cost alternative to OEM inspections while offering the quality you demand. SI offers complete open/clean/close services in combination with trusted partners.
SIA’s full-service Materials Science Center (MSC) in Austin, TX is staffed with highly experienced staff and provides a complete suite of metallurgical and failure analysis services.
SIA offers a full suite of online monitoring and diagnostics, from stand-alone monitoring solutions to SI’s PlantTrack™ – a state-of-the-art digital twin platform for fleet asset management. Combining historical data and real-time tracking from our advanced hardware, SIIQ™ uses proprietary algorithms to provide data-driven insights to optimize performance, avoid damage-like conditions, and help you plan maintenance.
SIA’s Gas and Steam Plant Operability Assessments provide a comprehensive view of plant systems including: steam turbine generators (STGs), gas turbines generators (GTs), heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), high energy piping (HEP), and critical balance of plant components. Each assessment is custom tailored to identify risks, determine the cause of equipment damage, and / or provide recommended modifications to operating procedures, control logic, and equipment design. Our goal is to help operators optimize equipment life, reduce unplanned outages, and improve operational safety.
