Energy Industry Services
Maintenance of power generation plants is critical to maximizing up time as failures of equipment in such plants can result in costly shutdowns. Verifying raw materials prior to manufacture or installation can also ensure you or your clients' facilities keep running efficiently.
IMR Test Labs offers analytical services to the energy industry and their suppliers. From routine checks of raw materials, to support of R&D efforts and failure analyses, our labs can provide clear, concise reports, fast turnarounds and access to our experts before, during and after testing. We offer testing on metals, polymers, fiber-reinforced composites, ceramics, contaminants and corrosion products.
We carry a broad range of accreditations including numerous NQA-1 & NIAC approvals, and we have worked with clients and suppliers in a variety of power generation facilities
- Nuclear
- Steam Turbine
- Hydropower
- Wind Turbine
- Power Transmission
