Power Plant Consulting

Power Plant Consulting

Consulting Services
We provide power plant consulting services, including design, analysis, startup/commissioning, safety analyses and equipment evaluations on fossil fuel, combined cycle, hydroelectric, renewables, solar, solid waste, biomass, and nuclear plants.

We also assist in plant outages, providing assessments, troubleshooting and repair of capital equipment.
Our engineering services include:

  • Thermal, Stress and Fatigue Analysis
  • Thermal Transient Analyses
  • Vibration Testing & Troubleshooting
  • Weld Engineering
  • Remaining Life Assessment

Design & Analysis
We perform design and analysis to AWS, API and ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code on components as:

  • Steam Generators
  • Pressure Vessels & Piping
  • Heat Exchangers
  • Structural Supports
  • Environmental Equipment

Problem Solving/ Preventive Maintenance
We perform inspections and weld/ material evaluations to analyze power plant equipment problems, and resolve materials, design, and maintenance issues. Potential problems include:

  • Oxygen Pitting
  • Hydrogen Damage
  • Stress Corrosion Cracking
  • Vibration &  Fatigue
  • Creep Rupture Damage
  • High Temperature Oxidation


Assessment of the current condition of components as boilers, headers, and piping ensures structural integrity, and lowers operating costs.

O'Donnell Consulting performed the structural integrity and remaining life assessment of the main and upstream shafts of a hydroelectric plant.

Plant Life Extension
Our engineers perform API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 and other Code evaluations to enable power plants to reach their maximum useful lives.
  • Stress corrosion cracking mitigation
  • Suitability for Service Evaluation of Welded Structures
See also Fitness For Service. For over 45 years we have been responding to the needs of the power industry. Our company president, Dr. William J. O'Donnell, has written numerous articles on the design and analysis of heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and other power plant components. See Resume Summaries of our Team.
