From Signal to Strategy: Ultrasonic Data in Fitness-for-Service Evaluations
This presentation showcases how high‑fidelity ultrasonic inspection data can transform fitness‑for‑service evaluations in aging hydropower assets. It highlights the risks of poor NDT data, the benefits of advanced ultrasonic techniques, and the direct impact inspection quality has on engineering decisions, maintenance strategies, and long‑term asset reliability. Through real‑world case studies, it demonstrates why treating ultrasonic data as a strategic asset—not just a diagnostic tool—is essential for safe, cost‑effective hydropower operation.
