Process systems are getting more and more complex, and operators are demanding increased reliability. The increased complexity and reliability needs have to be balanced by budget constraints. In this blog, we go over some of the benefits of using skid systems for your applications.
Cost Savings
Back in December of 2015, the Nuclear Industry kicked off an initiative called Delivering the Nuclear Promise. Headed by NEI and industry leaders, the goal is to help reduce operating costs. Nuclear plants have felt the pinch from low electricity prices due to the natural gas glut, and this spending cut isn't a second too late.
We were able to help our client save over $40,000 on the design and construction of an articulating solar array.
The Return on Investment of using an engineering consulting firm is in the form of a better final product. In our case, we focus on reducing project cost and project schedule. A small investment up-front results in potentially millions of dollars of savings on project cost, and reduced project schedule.
We have helped sites prepare for their TI-2515/191 inspections by using a tool we call the Compliance Matrix. Give us a call for more information.
Using FEA and hand calculations, we were able to help a nuclear utility evaluate RCP Seal Leakoff pipes and components for high temperature and pressure.
We developed a testing plan to test seals and determine their water resistance. A test rig was designed which put a static head on the sample flood seals.
