When mechanical installations are inspected or rehabilitated, machine components sometimes need to be replaced or modified.

In order to ensure optimal dimensioning,
HYDRO Exploitation uses the following range of procedures :

  • FEM calculations (verification, optimization or stress determination, for conventional remaining service life determination or fitness-for-purpose analysis)
  • Analytical calculations based on pressurized
  • equipment standards (dimensioning)

In addition of the calculation, the service also includes a full report which includes the input data, the procedure (assumptions and standards applied) and conclusions and/or recommendations.

    Methodology

    • gathering of the available information (consultation of archives etc.)
