What We Do
Technical Services
Specialized advisory and hands-on field support for power generation facilities — from outage planning through root-cause resolution.
KM PowerGen delivers independent technical expertise across the full lifecycle of power generation equipment. Whether you need a trusted advisor during a major outage, a second opinion on a mechanical failure, or qualified oversight of contractor work, we bring the depth of experience that complex equipment demands.
Technical Field Advising
On-site and remote technical advisory for power generation facilities. We serve as an independent expert resource — providing guidance on equipment condition, maintenance decisions, and operational risk — without the conflicts of interest that come with OEM or contractor relationships.
- Independent equipment condition assessments
- Maintenance strategy and interval optimization
- Operational risk identification and mitigation
- Technical support for plant engineering teams
Outage Planning & Execution Support
Comprehensive support for planned and forced outages on gas turbines, steam turbines, and generators. We assist with scope development, work package review, scheduling, and on-site execution oversight to keep outages on time and within budget.
- Outage scope development and work package review
- Scheduling and critical path management
- On-site execution oversight and daily reporting
- Forced outage rapid-response support
Mechanical Troubleshooting
Systematic diagnosis of mechanical anomalies, performance degradation, and unexpected equipment behavior. We apply structured troubleshooting methodology to identify root causes quickly and recommend corrective actions that address the underlying problem — not just the symptom.
- Vibration, alignment, and balance analysis
- Performance degradation investigation
- Seal, bearing, and lubrication system diagnostics
- Combustion system anomaly investigation
Equipment Inspections
Detailed inspections of gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, and balance-of-plant equipment. We provide thorough visual and dimensional assessments, document findings with precision, and deliver clear inspection reports that support informed maintenance decisions.
- Hot gas path and compressor inspections
- Generator stator and rotor condition assessment
- Steam turbine blade and diaphragm inspection
- Detailed photographic documentation and reporting
Quality Assurance
Independent QA oversight ensures that repair work, parts, and procedures meet the standards required for reliable long-term operation. We verify that work is performed correctly — providing an objective check that protects plant owners from substandard workmanship.
- Repair quality verification and hold-point witness
- Parts and materials inspection and traceability
- Procedure compliance and documentation review
- Pre-startup readiness assessments
Contractor Oversight
On-site oversight of OEM and independent service provider work. We represent the plant owner's interests throughout the execution of contracted work — monitoring progress, verifying scope compliance, and ensuring that the work delivered matches what was agreed.
- OEM and ISP work scope compliance monitoring
- Daily progress tracking and owner reporting
- Change order and scope creep management
- Punch list development and closeout verification
Root-Cause Investigations
Structured root-cause analysis for equipment failures, forced outages, and recurring mechanical issues. We deliver objective, evidence-based findings and actionable corrective recommendations — supporting insurance claims, warranty disputes, and long-term reliability improvement.
- Failure mode identification and evidence collection
- Structured RCA methodology (5-Why, fishbone, fault tree)
- Written RCA reports for insurance and legal proceedings
- Corrective action and recurrence prevention planning
