Tetra Engineering Group Inc. is a private consulting firm specialising in engineering services for the power generation industry, with a particular focus on Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs). Established in 1988, the company is headquartered in Weatogue, Connecticut, USA, with additional offices in Valbonne, France, and Dubai, UAE. The company provides services globally, emphasizing on reliability, performance optimization, and operational safety for power plants.
History
[edit]Founded in 1988, by three engineers who had worked together at a major nuclear and fossil boiler OEM in the US. Tetra Engineering was founded to improve the performance and reliability of nuclear and large fossil-fired power plants. Starting in the late 90's they began focusing their efforts on also providing services to the rapidly expanding installed base of HRSGs. The increasing complexity of HRSG systems in power plants. Over time, the company expanded its expertise to include life-cycle management, root-cause analysis, and system design optimisation. A European office was opened near Nice, France in 1991 and an office in the UAE in 2014.[1]
Locations
[edit]As of 2024, Tetra Engineering has offices in 2 countries.
- Headquarters in Weatogue, Connecticut, USA
- EMEA office in Sophia Antipolis, France (opened in 1991).
Operations and Services
[edit]Tetra Engineering offers a range of consulting services aimed at improving the efficiency and safety of industrial systems, including:
- HRSG Inspections and Maintenance: 1000s of global HRSG inspections, focusing on identifying damage mechanisms and optimising system longevity.[2][3]
