We are very familiar with the correct modeling of support design types (e.g., snubber, spring hanger, rod hangers, strut, sway brace, etc.) and equipment nozzle flexibility to provide accurate pipe stress and support load results.

Imperia has registered Professional Engineers (PE) in multi-disciplines in many states as well as NCEES records to be able to quickly obtain acceptance by additional states, if needed. Our PE’s actively participate on ASME Code Committees and they are familiar with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) requirements including:

  • ASME ANSI B31.1, “Power Piping”
  • ASME BPVC Section III, “Rules for Construction of Nuclear Facility Components”
  • ASME BPVC Section V, “Nondestructive Examination
  • ASME BPVC Section VIII, ‘Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels’
  • ASME BPVC Section IX, ‘Welding, Brazing, and Fusing Qualifications’
  • ASME BPVC Section XI, ‘Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power plant Components”

Imperia prides itself in developing creative solutions to challenging problems in all disciplines of engineering. This group performs advanced analysis using both hand and finite element methods, 3rd party reviews, rigging support and design modifications. Typical projects include plant system analysis and design to support new regulatory requirements, continued plant operation and life and subsequent life extension.  This group is also responsible for engineering, commercial grade dedication and installation of in-situ non-metallic buried pipe rehabilitation design and installations.

The multi-discipline team members are qualified to the Industry Standard Design Change Guidelines and have prepared utility modifications. The Engineering team regularly participates at ASME, EPRI, NUPIC and AWWA meetings including but not limited to MRP, BWRVIP, PVRC, IEEE, CHECWORKS and ANS.

Materials Engineering Laboratory

Our interdisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and technical specialists matched with a top-notch laboratory provides us with unique capabilities that go beyond standard laboratory analyses in order to tackle challenging problems. Imperia’s Materials Engineering Laboratory (LAB) combines knowledge and expertise in metallography, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science (metals and welds, polymers and plastics, rubbers, coatings and composites), laboratory analysis and testing to perform customized investigations and solve difficult and complex problems. Our extensive in-house laboratory facilities include mechanical testing, metallography, chemical analysis, electrical testing, corrosion testing, and a complete machine shop. Capabilities include investigation for design specification compliance, manufacturing defects, fatigue, stress corrosion, corrosion and other metallurgical causes as well as aging, creep, and overload. Applications include:

  • Failure Analysis and Accident Investigations
  • Consultation and Testing of Materials, Components and Systems
  • Material Aging Testing and Life Extension
  • Electrical Simulations, Testing, and Investigations
  • Inspection and Testing of Contaminated Components
  • Fracture Mechanics Analysis
  • (Past) Operability and Functionality
  • Commercial Grade Dedication

Our radiation safety program and hot shop allow us to accept contaminated components for evaluation.

The LAB maintains strong expertise in corrosion characterization, evaluation and cause determination including stress corrosion cracking. Our experience includes pitting, buried systems, cathodic protection and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) susceptibility. We have evaluated a variety of components from plants (piping, valves, structures, etc.) at Imperia’s in-house metallurgical analysis facility, using metallurgical mounting, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) capabilities.

The LAB also has vast experience with the failure investigation of a wide variety of electrical components such as solenoids, relays, pressurizer heaters, fuses, power supplies and inverters and other components.

Since 1911, PowerLabs has been the primary calibrations and testing laboratory for Exelon. We have four individual labs strategically located from the upper-midwest to the northeast, enabling our experienced staff of experts in engineering, metrology, and nuclear power generation to support the urgent demands of our nation’s nuclear facilities, power grids, and critical supply chains. As an Approved Nuclear Supplier, we have amassed an extensive inventory of lab equipment to perform a full- spectrum of calibration, testing, and analysis services. We also maintain A2LA Accreditation, assuring our technical competence as a laboratory to ISO 17025 standards and extending our services to any quality-driven or highly regulated industry.

Calibrations – We perform both standard and ISO 17025 calibrations. Our capabilities compliment the requirements of any quality-driven organization. We help you meet and exceed your quality requirements with consistent and accurate measurements every time. Whether you would like us to calibrate it in-house or onsite, we will work to give you the best experience. Our team of highly skilled experts deliver consistent and accurate calibrations.

High Voltage Calibrations – We have one the of the widest scopes of accredited calibrations in the high voltage industry. Not only can we meet ISO 17025 accredited calibrations, but we also meet requirements that satisfy national and international high voltage standards: ISO 17025, IEEE Standard 4, IEC 60060-2, IEC 60270, ANSI Z540, 10 CFR 50 / Appendix B.

Failure Analysis – We help identify the root cause of a failed component. Our team of highly skilled experts deliver consistent and accurate calibrations. Our metrology leaders are renowned across the industry for their thought-provoking mentality and deep understanding of metrological science. Each of our technicians dedicate time to expanding their knowledge in other disciplines to advance their potential. Empowering our team to guide our calibration policies and procedures enables them to see potential problems with your equipment and develop solutions faster.

Parts Quality Testing (PQI) – Our labs test functional parts and identify failed parts before entering inventory. In 2006, Constellation PowerLabs’ PQI program was founded to safeguard against downtime due to critical parts failure. PowerLabs uses historic model-specific failure data trends to identify which parts to PQI test. PQI data and testing ensures defective parts are identified before installation, reducing downtime, labor and logistics costs, and yielding substantial warranty replacement savings. PowerLabs is committed to working with manufacturers with high-failure rate parts to provide data and recommendations to solve the root cause of failure in manufacturing. For example, one vendor routinely had 40% failure rates on a tested part. PowerLabs identified the failure and worked with the vendor to modify the part, resulting in a failure rate of less than 3%.

Commercial Grade Dedication Testing – We test plant safety-related components. Commercial Grade Dedication Testing (CGD) is a process of performing inspections, tests, or analyses on commercial grade components that will be dedicated for use in a nuclear safety-related application. We test over 12,000 items annually, verifying they meet or exceed the critical characteristic requirements determined by the engineer’s dedication plan for the use in a nuclear facility. Our comprehensive Appendix B program includes concise documentation of our test results and provides you with the most reliable cost-saving alternative to OEM replacements.
