Engineering services for energy asset integrity and life extension
Structural Integrity Associates applies advanced simulation, nondestructive examination, and materials analysis to extend the operational life of critical energy infrastructure. The tech stack—dominated by MATLAB, ANSYS, Abaqus, and LS-DYNA—reflects an engineering-driven organization; hiring is almost entirely engineering-focused (73 of 80 active roles), skewed toward senior and mid-level talent. Active projects span digital twins for turbines, probabilistic reliability assessment, and fitness-for-service evaluations, indicating a shift from reactive inspection toward predictive asset management and uprate programs.
Structural Integrity Associates provides engineering services to energy and process industries, with three core service lines: nondestructive examination and monitoring (phased array ultrasound, guided wave, and other NDE technologies), materials evaluation and testing (field and lab analysis, damage root-cause investigation), and advanced analysis using finite element methods (stress, fracture mechanics, CFD). The company operates from headquarters in Huntersville, NC, and runs a materials sciences center in Austin, TX. Services address equipment life prediction, plant reliability optimization, and unplanned outage prevention, serving customers seeking ASME code compliance, asset lifecycle management, and license renewal support.
Primary tools include MATLAB, ANSYS Workbench, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, Simulink, SolidWorks, SAP2000, ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, and Mathcad for finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and stress/fracture mechanics calculations.
Active projects include digital twin development for steam and gas turbines, life assessment methodologies for fatigue and crack growth, thermal fatigue analysis, risk-based inspection method development, and probabilistic reliability assessment for industrial structures.
