I am currently working for Eskom, working under Risk and Sustainability, within the Research Testing and Development (RT&D) division in the Plant Performance and Optimization (PP&O) section. During the course of the training I was exposed to; General risk based engineering / management Creep life management, Flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) & corrosion fatigue life management (Pipework focus) Boiler tube creep life management (Tube-SOLO (steam oxide life optimization), engineering analysis and reporting) Thermal Index Non Destructive Testing (NDT) Outage Support : Reports, scope of work and communication (standardized approach) Outage/project management (critical activities and outputs) Boiler tube failure mechanisms identification and boiler tube failure reduction support to power stations Material evaluation and Special failure investigations Metallographic Replica Evaluation (Microstructural analysis, Void Sizing and Through Wall Damage Evaluation)
