Power Generation Industry

Stress from operation makes power generation assets susceptible to defects such as cracks, corrosion, leaks, and a wide variety of other flaws that can combine to accelerate further asset degradation. 

Facility downtime limits overall production capacity and can lead to costly system outages.

With regular inspection and monitoring, AIS can ensure that power generation assets remain free of flaws and damage that could lead to asset failure. Equipment failure can be hazardous for both facility personnel and the surrounding environment.

The chemical industry faces many challenges from personnel and site safety, asset integrity management, risk identification to regulatory compliance. Owners and operators in this sector need the support of a technical service partner who can provide 24/7 services that maintain safety, minimize risk, and optimize operations and processes. 

AIS delivers total quality assurance through trained expert testing, inspection, and consulting services to ensure plants continue to operate safely and within regulatory compliance. Our technicians perform inspection services to detect corrosion, corrosion under insulation (CUI), cracks, leaks, mechanical fatigue, and a wide range of other flaws in plant equipment that can impact safe and reliable operations. 

Inspections can take place while client assets remain in service, enabling them to minimize downtime and maximize productivity. AIS can assist in selecting the most effective inspection solution, considering the material of construction, anticipated damage mechanism, location of the asset, safety concerns, and many other factors.  

AIS provides asset protection solutions to manufacturing facilities to ensure their assets, components, and end-use products operate as safely and efficiently as possible. 

Production equipment failure leads to increased maintenance costs, unplanned downtime, and product revenue loss. Production runs that are meant to take hours can turn into days or weeks, affecting not just that individual batch but also the opportunity cost lost with subsequent scheduled batches. 

AIS’s industrial asset protection capabilities ensure the reliability and integrity of a manufacturer’s product and allow for the deterrence of any failures that could occur after the product is supplied to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) end-user.

Starting from the initial design and construction to continuing throughout the life of the structure, extensive NDT inspection technologies can detect failure mechanisms before any real damage occurs, avoiding potential catastrophic failure. 

As the world’s bridges, buildings, and other structures age it becomes increasingly essential to implement proactive inspection programs to maintain safe operation. 

AIS technicians will inspect for flaws and implement monitoring to mitigate the buildup of future damage, which helps your assets avoid the risk of a costly and hazardous failure. 

AIS inspections can help ensure both the structural and operational integrity of your assets, which will also increase the safety of facility personnel and the public. 

Pipelines are often susceptible to damage by internal and external corrosion, cracking, and manufacturing flaws. 

AIS provides a variety of test methods to ensure the integrity of pipeline equipment, identify damaged components, save production downtime, and reduce overall costs. Our team of certified technicians provides the assurance that your project is compliant, meeting the required industry regulations from the start and throughout the life of your project.
