Natural gas power plant services

IPS focuses on balance of plant capabilities for natural gas power plants. We service, repair, and remanufacture turbine generators, motors, rotating equipment, and power distribution equipment.

We serve as trusted advisors for operations and maintenance managers who can’t afford power loss. IPS has a long history with fossil power plants — both natural gas and coal-fired.

IPS technical field services for natural gas power plants

We can start with a condition assessment plan, support testing and maintenance during planned outages, or respond to an emergency.

Our comprehensive testing gives you a detailed understanding of your electrical balance of plant and mechanical balance of plant. IPS engineers review all data and guide the development of predictive and preventive maintenance recommendations.

Equipment removal, installation, and commissioning

We have the skills and resources to keep work on-site. IPS assembles project teams, with technicians experienced in rigging, transportation, installation, and service from across our North America network.

Emergency & outage support

This is another service where IPS leverages scale. When you have a disaster or hundreds of motors to test during a planned outage, you need veteran technicians, backed by experienced engineers.

Our North American network is always ready to mobilize to respond to your needs.

In-shop remanufacturing resources for utility-scale projects

IPS gives you the advantage of engineering for the application. We recommend design and reverse engineering for equipment that doesn’t meet application requirements.

Our engineers can redesign for increased power density, efficiency, and uptime. We can also resolve vibration issues with rotating assemblies or excess oil usage.

Our tolerances are tighter

Once we’ve identified failure modes and determined the application’s specific requirements, we engineer improvements. IPS remanufacturing delivers better-than-new reliability, because we over-spec materials and our technicians hold tighter tolerances.

Not building a thousand general-purpose motors means we can do better than industry standard. The end result is equipment engineered for improved reliability and built for the application.
