NBIC scope, signed in the boiler house
intelliINSPECT runs in-service inspections on drums, headers, and casings to National Board Inspection Code scope, captured offline in the boiler house and signed at the point of work.
Industry
A tube leak looks sudden. It never is. Catch it in the record, not on the grid.
Plant engineers and outage managers keep boiler, HRSG, and high energy piping condition on one record, mapped to NBIC and ASME in the US and EN 12952 and 12953 abroad. The run or repair call gets made before the window opens.

Between outages
Four jobs the record does while the unit runs.
Every reading, verdict, and signature lands on the same unit and component identity, so nothing waits for the next binder review.
Covered piping, watched
intelliNDT holds UT grids on waterwalls, hot reheat welds, and Grade 91 seams, computing corrosion rate and remaining life for ASME B31.1 covered piping programs.
Run, repair, or replace, in writing
intelliINTEGRITY screens headers and drums to API 579 fitness for service, so every component decision carries its inputs, its math, and its approver.
Outages that hold their gates
intelliTURN carries planned outages from readiness through scope freeze, execution, and closeout, with every gate decision logged against the unit.
One panel, one thread
Follow a waterwall panel from the penthouse to the audit.
This is what the record does on an actual outage, not in a diagram.
Capture at the tube
An inspector shoots a UT grid across the panel inside the boiler enclosure, no signal, and the readings sync with photos, location, and signature when the crew surfaces.
The verdict before scope freeze
intelliNDT recomputes wall loss against prior outages, intelliINTEGRITY flags the panel for API 579 screening, and the repair lands in intelliTURN scope before the freeze, not in extra days after it.
Proof the jurisdiction accepts
When the authorized inspector asks, the panel history exports as one query, every reading, decision, and sign-off in place, the same record a NERC reliability review draws from.
Proof path
The next window is already on the calendar.
Bring one unit and one outage scope and we will walk the record from readiness to closeout.
01
NBIC and ASME boiler and pressure part inspections captured with user, timestamp, and signature on every entry.
02
intelliNDT ties UT grids on waterwalls, headers, and Grade 91 welds to ASME B31.1 covered piping programs.
03
intelliTURN holds outage scope from readiness gates to closeout on the same record the inspection data lives on.
Answers
Power questions
Does intelliSPEC support NBIC and ASME boiler and pressure part inspections?
Yes. Drum, header, tube, and casing inspections are captured as structured records with user, timestamp, and signature against the National Board Inspection Code and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. intelliSPEC organizes the workflow and audit trail rather than certifying compliance on your behalf.
How do HRSG tube inspections work in intelliSPEC?
HRSG modules are mapped as inspectable components, so tube panel UT readings, FAC susceptible circuits, and attemperator checks accumulate on each harp and header across combined cycle outages. Corrosion rates and remaining life recompute through intelliNDT as each new grid lands.
Can intelliSPEC track high energy piping and Grade 91 weld inspections?
Yes. Main steam, hot reheat, and feedwater lines run as ASME B31.1 covered piping programs, with hanger walkdowns, weld examinations, and creep damage findings held to each specific weld through intelliNDT and intelliINTEGRITY.
What software do power plants use for outage management?
Plants run planned outages in intelliTURN, which holds scope, readiness gates, daily execution, and closeout evidence on the same record the inspection data lives on. Discovered work flows straight into scope instead of into a spreadsheet.
Does intelliSPEC support EN 12952 and EN 12953 for international fleets?
Yes. Water tube boiler inspections map to EN 12952 and shell boiler work to EN 12953 alongside NBIC and ASME, so a fleet with units on both sides of the Atlantic runs one standard and one audit trail.
How does intelliSPEC help with NERC and jurisdictional audit documentation?
Inspection, NDE, corrective action, and outage closeout records are held per unit with user, timestamp, and signature, and export as one query when a jurisdictional inspector or NERC reliability review asks. intelliSPEC organizes the evidence rather than certifying compliance on your behalf.
Does intelliSPEC work offline inside the boiler enclosure?
Yes. Inspectors capture forms, UT readings, photos, and signatures with no signal in the penthouse, drum, or enclosure, and everything syncs when the crew is back in coverage. Offline capture is core platform behavior, not a degraded mode.
