Industry
Organisations operating critical infrastructure increasingly rely on on-site and behind-the-meter power generation to ensure energy security, operational continuity and cost stability. Gas turbines play a key role in these configurations, particularly within combined cycle power plants designed to support high‑availability applications such as data centres and mission‑critical industrial facilities.
However, when evaluating new or recently introduced gas turbine technologies, asset owners might face significant uncertainty.
To make informed investment decisions and protect long-term asset value, organisations require an independent, expert-driven technical assessment, one that goes beyond manufacturer documentation to objectively evaluate design maturity, operational risks and the robustness of service and support arrangements.
For a energy client in the US, RINA deployed a multidisciplinary team of gas turbine, mechanical and electrical specialists, drawing on more than 40 years of experience in turbomachinery and power generation.
The assessment covered the full lifecycle of the proposed technology.
We delivered a comprehensive technical evaluation report identifying both short- and long-term integrity risks, with specific focus on future reliability, availability and maintainability. For each identified risk, we proposed tailored mitigation strategies, providing the client with actionable insights.
The independent assessment provided the client with a solid, evidence-based foundation for decision-making.
