Generator

Keep your generator in good condition by applying in-situ non-destructive testing, diagnostics and inspections

The generator is one of the most crucial parts of a nuclear, fossil or industrial plant. It is therefore of major importance that the generator is always in a perfect condition. They have been designed to operate for years without any problems. However, when time passes by, condition deteriorates, the chance of failure increases and forced outages com in sight.

KEMA offers a broad range of cutting-edge diagnostic techniques which can be performed within the shortest possible timeframe, against minimum cost. The result gives insight in the most cost effective and accountable approach for operation and maintenance of the generator: now and in the future.
