Power Generation

Retrofits, hydro rehabilitation, and boiler work at power facilities demand our ASME A stamp and a crew that understands what an outage window actually costs an operator per hour.

What We Bring

Built for this market

Power generation clients do not measure schedule risk in days, they measure it in megawatt-hours of lost generation. Whether it is a coal-fired unit retrofit or a hydro dam gate rehabilitation, the work has to fit inside an outage window set months in advance, with ASME code compliance on anything pressure-retaining and no room for a surprise.

  • ASME A-stamped power boiler assembly
  • Unit retrofits and hydro gate rehabilitation
  • Coordinated outage-window scheduling

What Makes This Market Different

The challenges we plan around

Fixed Outage Windows

Retrofits and boiler work have to complete inside a window set by the plant's generation schedule, not a construction schedule.

ASME Boiler Code Compliance

Power boiler assembly and pressure component work is governed by ASME A stamp requirements, not general fabrication standards.

Hydro-Specific Civil & Mechanical Scope

Dam gates and hydro infrastructure demand civil and mechanical experience beyond a typical thermal-plant retrofit.

Proof, Not Promises

Boswell Unit 3 retrofit

Minnesota PowerCohasset, Minnesota

A unit retrofit at an operating power facility, planned and staffed to complete inside a fixed outage window, with ASME A-stamped work on the pressure components involved.

Common Questions

Power Generation, answered

Meeting the outage window is the whole discipline of this market for us. It is how every retrofit and boiler project is planned from day one.

Yes, including gate rehabilitation and hydro-specific civil and mechanical work, not just coal or gas unit retrofits.

Our crews work under our ASME A stamp for power boiler assembly, alongside our ASME PP and NBIC R stamps for other pressure-retaining work.
