Power Generation Inspections

High-precision thermal and visual inspections for  simple cycle, combined cycle, coal fired and nuclear power facilities - designed to detect problems early, improve reliability, and protect critical assets.

RATTLIR delivers engineering-grade insights that help plant operators maintain peak performance, reduce forced outages, and uphold the highest standards of safety and compliance.  Whether you manage combustion turbines, heat recovery systems, boilers, condensers, cooling towers, or nuclear support systems, our inspections provide the data you need to make confident maintenance decisions.

What We Inspect

(Visual + Thermal - Aerial & Ground Based + Acoustic)

​

  • Transformers and Switchyards (bushings, connectors, insulators, hotspots)

  • Combustion Turbines and Generators

  • HRSG Systems (tubes, casing hot spots, insulation degradation)

  • Boilers and Furnace Walls (slag, tube leaks, refractory issues)

  • Cooling Towers and Heat Exchangers

  • Fuel Delivery Systems (pumps, valves, leak points)

  • Condenser Tube Sheets and Steam Cycle Components

  • Balance of Plant Equipment

  • Nuclear Facility Support Systems (non-radiation area inspections only)

How We Do It

  • ​​Drone based thermal and optical inspections

  • Engineering grade temperature deltas for hotspot identification

  • Close proximity imaging for elevated or confined structures

  • Predictive maintenance data aligned with plant O&M stratagies

  • Repeatable inspection routes for trend analysis

  • Rapid reporting with prioritized findings

  • Minimal operation disruption

Why it Matters

  • ​​Reduced forced outages and equipment derates

  • Identify thermal anomalies before they escalate

  • Improve Root Cause Analysis (RCA) data

  • Extend asset life and protect major capital equipment

  • Support OSHA/NERC regulatory expectations

  • Enhance maintenance planning and budget accuracy

  • Minimize risk to personnel through remote inspections

Take advantage of our free Safety Toolbox Talks - ready to use for crews, meetings, and daily briefings.
