Power Generation

Supporting performance in power generation systems

From conventional and nuclear to renewable energy, materials performance is critical to the safe and reliable generation of power. At R-TECH Group, we provide accredited testing and consultancy to support plant, components and materials across the power generation sector.

We have particular expertise in power plant systems, where our specialists support clients with complex materials challenges in demanding operating environments.

Our power generation services

01

Plant integrity and life assessment

Evaluation of plant and components to assess condition, remaining life and opportunities for optimisation.

02

Failure investigation

Root cause analysis of material and component failures to improve safety, reliability and performance.

03

On-site inspection and testing

In-situ testing, analysis and replication to assess plant condition directly within operational environments.

04

Materials consultancy and expert witness

Specialist advice, technical support and expert witness services for complex engineering challenges and disputes.

05

Research and development support

Collaboration on R&D programmes to improve materials performance and support evolving energy technologies.

Expertise in high-temperature plant and materials

We specialise in the assessment of materials used in high-temperature power plant, including austenitic stainless steels commonly found in critical components.

Our work includes research into thermal degradation and the development of advanced life assessment approaches, combining plant condition data with in-house modelling to provide accurate predictions of remaining life and performance.

From failure analysis to long-term performance

Alongside plant integrity services, we provide detailed laboratory-based failure investigation, supported by on-site assessment where required.

Our team combines macro and micro-level analysis with practical engineering insight to deliver clear, actionable findings. This allows clients to reduce risk, prevent recurrence and optimise the performance of critical power generation assets.
