LIFE ASSESSMENT and EXTENSION
AMCO can assess the remaining life of plant under operating conditions, offering real increases in safe operating lifeat little expense. Advanced warning of creep, creep/corrosion and creep fatigue failures can avoid expensiveunplanned outages while avoiding undue maintenance or premature replication surveys. Improved repair welds canreduce the delay in returning plant to service and may be suitable for long term service avoiding replacement atthe next scheduled outage.
FITNESS FOR SERVICES (FFS)
AMCO assesses the fitness for service of plant under operating conditions which can give advanced warning of in-service failures. This can help the plant operators in reducing cost by avoiding costly unplanned outages and at thesame time minimize excessive maintenance or premature inspection.AMCO has experience of using standardized approaches such as those outlined in API 579.

RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCE (RCM)
Asset Management and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is an engineering frame work that enables engineersto empirically devise an optimum maintenance regime for plants, for greater reliability and cost efficiency inoperation. It uses predictive maintenance techniques, resulting in more efficient use of plant maintenance budgets.AMCO designs and implements RCM programs for whole Plants or major critical systems, or review and updateexisting programs, for optimum plant performance.
LIFE ASSESSMENT OF STEAM TURBINE COMPONENT
With the increasing competition in the power generation sector worldwide, high standards of reliability, availabilityand safety are becoming number one requirement for successful operation of a power plant. Steam turbineequipment operates under very complex thermal and mechanical loadings and hence plant operators are dailychallenged to cost-effectively manage their safe and reliable operation.
BOILER INSPECTION and LIFE ASSESSMENT SERVICES
AMCO has established expertise in the life assessment of components from boilers operating in the creep and fatigueconditions. The viability of future operation can be called in to question when a boiler begins experiencing failures,reducing production, increasing forced shutdowns and low efficiency. Today, plants are being operated to meet newfinancial expectations, and that combined with limited financial resources, reduced maintenance budgets, staffreductions, and fewer, shorter outages, makes managing these plants a difficult challenge.
TURBINE/ GENERATOR MATERIALS EVALUATIONS
AMCO’s experienced technical staff from UK, USA & Japan is knowledgeable in all aspects of turbine/generator assetintegrity management, including advanced NDE inspection, finite element analysis, reliability centered maintenance(RCM), component life assessment, metallurgical investigation and evaluation of turbine material properties byremoving and testing small samples without the need for repair or replacement.
Flexible CostOur affordable cost sets us apart from our competitor. We providecost effective comprehensive solutions.
PROBABILISTIC LIFE ASSESSMENT
In the increasingly cost-competitive market, accurate and timely information on equipment condition is vital forinput to repair/replacement strategies and associated costs. This is resulting in an increased need for more reliableand realistic life prediction methods, particularly for aged equipment/plant.
ENGINEERING DESIGN ANALYSIS
AMCO offers in-house engineering (finite element (FE) & stress analysis) modelling of plant components. FE modellingcan help in a number of circumstances – at the design phase, when looking for stress concentrations and deciding theplacement of welds; in remaining life assessment, when evaluating the effect of thinning on stress distribution; inmaintenance planning, when locating areas for inspection etc. Our engineers have experience modelling complexcomponents and interpreting the results to provide you with the best recommendations.
CONDITION MONITORING
Condition monitoring & Predictive Maintenance Misalignment, unbalanced bearings, vibration etc are the hiddenroot cause of the machine failure. Condition monitoring enable us to check operating condition of machineperiodically to prevent these factors causing failure of the machine.

CORROSION LOOP IDENTIFICATION SERVICES
Corrosion loop(s) are systematized analysis "loops“ used during Risk-based inspection analysis. Both terms “RBICorrosion loops” or “RBI corrosion circuits” are generic terms used to indicate the systematization of piping systemsinto usable and understandable parts associated with corrosion. Systematized piping loops or circuits are systemsused in Risk Based Inspection analysis to assess the likehood and consequence of failure. Other systematization mayalso prove useful, such as, i.e. inspection, consequence, materials of construction and chemistry.
HIGH TEMPERATURE HYDROGEN ATTACK (HTHA)
High temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) is a phenomenon which occurs within some industrial processes when thepresence of hydrogen, subjected to high temperature and pressure, makes plants and systems prone to damage. Thisreaction can cause an industrial plant to suffer serious failure, which may lead to both expensive repairs and loss ofproduction.
INTERGRANULAR CORROSION (IGC) TESTING
Intergranular corrosion (IGC) is a selective attack in the vicinity of the grain boundaries of a stainless steel. It is as aresult of chromium depletion, mainly due to the precipitation of chromium carbides in the grain boundaries.

ADVANCED QUALITY ENGINEERING
Quality plays an important part in ensuring that reliability requirements are realized. If we do not have conformanceto requirements, there could be consequences that create customer dissatisfaction. Companies have theresponsibility to ensure that the product delivered to the customer meets quality and reliability requirements.
COST ANALYSIS
Privatisation of the power industry has resulted in changes in the ownership and management of power plants.Economic conditions, environmental restrictions, the ensuing competition and demand by shareholders for higherprofits have resulted in an increasing need to supply power on demand.
ENGINEERING RISK ASSESSMENT
Engineering systems are almost always designed, constructed, and operated under unavoidable conditions of risk anduncertainty. Risks are future events with a probability of occurrence and a potential for loss. Caught in time, risks canbe avoided, negated or have their impacts reduced. Risk analysis is a technique applied for identifying, characterizing,quantifying, and evaluating hazards. Risk assessment is performed to estimate the value of a risk.
PLANT RELIABILITY ANALYSIS
Availability, reliability and maintainability are key considerations in most product development. With recognition thatin-service failure cost can far exceed initial purchase cost, companies are required to pay as much attention toreliability as to performance. Performance is optimized by integrating reliability into product development from itsearliest stages and by considering the appropriate trade off.
