Power Generation
(Thermal, Gas, Nuclear, Renewable)

Boilers, heat recovery steam generators, high-energy piping, pressure vessels, and elevated structural steel in power generation assets operate under sustained high temperature and cyclic pressure, driving creep, thermal fatigue, flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), and oxide-scale build-up. The applicable regulatory framework — ISO and ASME standards, ASME B31.1, the National Board / NBIC, jurisdictional pressure-equipment authorities (TSSA in Ontario; provincial equivalents elsewhere) operating under CSA B51, and insurance-driven inspection requirements — demands credentialled inspectors and traceable documentation. Vertix delivers National Board–commissioned inspection alongside the NDE, coating, and rope access capabilities required to maintain continuous compliance and asset availability.

Capabilities deployed:

• National Board / NBIC in-service inspection of boilers, HRSGs, and fired pressure equipment
• ASME / API-aligned inspection of balance-of-plant pressure vessels and piping under CSA B51
• FAC, creep, and thermal fatigue assessment using PAUT, UT, RT, and replication
• Fitness-for-Service (API 579 / ASME FFS-1) for high-temperature damage and remaining-life evaluation
• Welding inspection to ASME IX, AWS D1.1, and CSA W59 on structural and pressure-retaining welds
• NACE/AMPP coating inspection on stacks, tanks, and structural steel
• IRATA rope access for stacks, cooling towers, HRSG casings, and elevated structures
