SolutionsAsset Management
Know your assets. Trust your decisions.
Powertech provides asset owners with the tools, data, technical insights and solutions to make smarter, safer, and more compliant decisions across the asset lifecycle. Whether you’re encountering or recovering from failure, or planning 10 years ahead, we’re here to help you determine the cause of failure, optimize performance and mitigate risk.
Core Services
Failure Analysis & Root Cause Investigation
Understand what went wrong—so it doesn’t happen again. Powertech’s failure analysis services are backed by forensic engineering expertise in materials, electrical, and mechanical domains. We identify root causes of failure and help teams take corrective action to prevent recurrence.
Condition Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance
Stay ahead of failure with real-time diagnostics. We use tools like partial discharge testing, infrared thermography, vibration analysis, and DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) to monitor asset health and detect early signs of degradation.
Asset Management Solutions
Maximize service life and make smarter replacement decisions. We help you evaluate asset aging, deterioration mechanism, usage patterns, and environmental stress to build informed maintenance, refurbishment, or retirement strategies.
Compliance Audits & Standards Alignment
Be ready for audits—and confident in your documentation. Powertech supports utilities and asset managers with performance benchmarking, reporting, and standards alignment for NERC, CSA, IEEE, and ISO compliance.
Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Strategy Support
Optimize maintenance for safety, cost, and performance. Our team helps develop data-driven maintenance strategies that balance asset criticality, operational risk, and long-term cost-efficiency.
Condition Assessment & Fitness for Service
Stay ahead of failure with proactive condition assessment. Our team assess fixed equipment to confirm condition meets original design requirements. We perform visual exam and NDT inspections of representative locations, analyze data using statistical tools: e.g. extreme value and Weibull analysis, perform testing for corrosion potential and establish remaining strength or life estimate recommending inspection intervals. We can also apply fracture mechanics, fitness-for-service methods to assess severe corrosion, cracks, dents or other flaws.
Corrosion prevention (Coatings & CP)
We help our customers developing and reviewing coating specifications, performing coating condition assessments, providing RFP support, vendor review, act as Coating POR / SME. We do have characterization of coatings laboratory capabilities including corrosion and coating testing (EIS, coating properties), accelerated weathering (salt fog, UV, condensation), quality assurance and inspections: AMPP Level 2 and 3 Coating Inspection Specialists, Cathodic Protection (CP) Design: AMPP CP3 Technologist.
