A four-month condition assessment program was conducted at the General Electric plant in Erie, PA. The objective was the development of a 10-year rehabilitation program for continued safe reliable operation of this industrial coal-fired cogeneration facility. Gilbert/Commonwealth inspected all systems, components and structures associated with the powerhouse and utility distribution systems, identified repair, replacement and modification projects, prioritized the projects by degree of risk, and developed a 10-year plan for rehabilitation. Extensive NDE inspections were performed on all boilers and critical piping to investigate the effects of fatigue, creep, and corrosion /erosion. NDe methods included visual inspection, ultrasonic thickness measurements, magnetic particle examination, and replica metallography.
