Alstom has an extensive network of field service engineers to assist with your outage inspections. Our strategic locations worldwide facilitate rapid emergency and cost-effective planned responses. Thanks to professional foundations and regular training courses, all our inspection engineers and technicians are equipped with best practice knowledge and cutting-edge technology to ensure accurate inspections, insightful analysis and reliable recommendations. We can also support or carry out the recommended maintenance measures, needed immediate repairs or longer term improvements.
In order to prevent forced outages, periodic inspections should be conducted during scheduled outages. This allows the identification of component damage in the earliest stages when there is still time to schedule a cost-effective repair. Alstom recommends a general inspection every 1 to 2 years and a more detailed inspection every 3 to 5 years. In order to optimise the over-all plant availability, it is important to align these inspections with those of the gas turbine. Therefore the detailed inspection should coincide with a gas turbine planned outage of one week or longer, e.g. the C-inspection (for Alstom turbines) or the major or hot gas path inspection (for GE, Siemens and other manufacturers turbines). Between the detailed inspections, at least one general inspection should be planned, e.g. the B-inspection (for Alstom turbines) or the combustion inspection (for GE, Siemens and other manufacturers turbines). Depending on the gas turbine outages and the general HRSG condition, this can also be an annual inspection.

Includes all the general inspection steps plus a more detailed visual inspection of all accessible pressure parts. This visual inspection will identify any areas of concern that require subsequent non-destructive examination (NDE) to be performed by a qualified NDE technician. Time frame requirement: 4-6 days of HRSG accessibility.

In some markets, changing energy mixes have made production demand more volatile, forcing operators to develop new flexible operational strategies. Increased cycling and part load operations subject HRSGs to more frequent transient mode stresses and accelerated fatigue or corrosion damage. Alstoms HRSG systems experts can help you optimise the interactions between gas turbine and HRSG operations to maximise longevity and performance.
