Operation Support
We help clients maximize plant reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance through comprehensive operations support. Our services include O&M support to establish preventive maintenance programs, plant and cycle performance analysis, piping inspection programs for High Energy Piping (HEP) and Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC), outage readiness assessments, and outage planning, scheduling, and on-site coordination of subcontractors to ensure safe and efficient execution.
Technical Due Diligence
We provide comprehensive technical due diligence services to help clients evaluate energy assets, identify risks, and make informed investment decisions. Our services include red flag assessments for CCGT, solar, and wind projects, merger and acquisition (M&A) asset due diligence, technical and constructability assessments, and environmental and social assessments aligned with Equator Principles compliance.
Capital Improvements
We support capital improvement initiatives with the technical expertise needed to evaluate opportunities, optimize performance, and guide investment decisions. Our services include feasibility analysis, plant performance evaluations, cost estimation, and multidisciplinary conceptual design to help clients identify practical solutions and advance projects with confidence.
Experience
Projects
01
Plant Performance Analysis (Coal-Fired Plant 15 MW)
​• IPSE GO plant model validated with operating data
• Evaluated retrofits to condensate preheater and feedwater heater
​
Our team evaluated potential cycle performance improvements at a coal-fired power plant through the assessment of condensate preheater and feedwater heater retrofit options. Using validated plant performance models, we analyzed the impact of each configuration on plant efficiency and fuel consumption, helping the client identify opportunities to improve plant performance and reduce operating costs.
02
Due Diligence (Coal-Fired Plant 176 MW)
Technical Due Diligence for Asset Acquisition​
​
• On-site walkdown inspection.
• Review per discipline including CAPEX & OPEX, availability, condition status, and maintenance program.
• Red flag findings and risk mitigation recommendations from buyer's perspective.
​
Our team performed technical due diligence to support the acquisition of a coal-fired plant. Through on-site inspections and multidisciplinary reviews, we evaluated asset conditions, identified red flag findings, and provided risk mitigation recommendations to help our client make informed investment decisions.
03
O&M Assessment (CCGT Plants 600 MW & 241 MW)
• Assessment of operation KPIs & maintenance program
• Recommendations to improve reliability and informed asset management decisions
​
Our team conducted a comprehensive review of two Combined Cycle Gas Turbine facilities, evaluating operational performance and maintenance programs. We identified key risks and areas of concern, providing recommendations to improve reliability and support informed asset management decisions.
04
HEP Piping Inspections & Stress Analysis (CCGT 995 MW)
Cold Reheat (CRH) Piping System
​
• CRH structural analysis at normal operating conditions and
at high T & P events for compliance with ASME.
• Identified high level stress areas and provided recommendations.
• Performed on-site NDE inspections
Our team evaluated the Cold Reheat (CRH) piping system through field walkdowns, Non-Destructive Examinations (NDE), and structural analysis under normal operating and high temperature and pressure conditions. We identified high-stress areas and potential failure points in HEP piping, verified compliance with ASME requirements, and provided recommendations to improve system reliability.
05
Outage Preparation for HGPI (CCGT 250 MW)e
​
Outage Preparation for Hot Gas Path Inspection (HGPI)
​
• Review and prioritize the electrical maintenance scope for Balance of Plant (BOP) and 230 kV Substation.
• Prepare list of electrical spares for outage.
Our team supported outage preparation activities for a Hot Gas Path Inspection (HGPI) by reviewing and prioritizing electrical maintenance scope for the Balance of Plant and 230 kV Substation. We also developed recommended spare parts lists to improve outage readiness and execution.

06
Project Feasibility Conversion to Combined Cycle (CCGT 45 MW)
Project Feasibility Review
​
• Evaluated approaches to convert Cogeneration to Combined Cycle and provided client with alternative configurations for varying levels of Power Output, Heat Rate and Capital Expense
• Supported client with development of project Pro-forma and identified key project sensitivities
Due Diligence Review
• Plant performance analysis and review
• Condition assessment
• Commercial agreement review
Our team evaluated options to convert a cogeneration facility to combined cycle operation, developing alternative configurations based on power output, heat rate, and capital investment objectives. We also performed plant performance, condition, and commercial reviews, providing the client with a comprehensive understanding of project risks and opportunities.
07
O&M Start-Up to Permanent Operation (CCGT 995 MW)
​Supported client as O&M Specialist
​
• Collaborated with the Owner's on-site team in the transition from plant start-up to takeover and full-term O&M.
• Supported Owner with initial O&M budget plan.
​
Our team supported the Owner during the transition from plant start-up to full-term operations and maintenance. By working closely with the on-site team, we facilitated a smooth handover process and assisted with the development of the initial O&M budget plan.
