In the early 1980's, electric utilities and process industries began to place increased emphasis on condition assessment technologies for improving unit reliability and availability. The improved predictive maintenance programs arising from this new information allows for selective component replacement.

Steam Generation provides mechanical construction and maintenance services for the modernization of existing plant equipment. These improvement projects have involved the installation of component redesigns,material system upgrades and new equipment.

Surrounding equipment is sometimes operational and often limits access in the work area, requiring our personnel to be innovative in their approach to the execution of a particular project. SGC effectively interfaces with plant engineering, maintenance and operation departments to ensure a successful project.

The ethic that drives SGC's high standards of quality, productivity and performance is the cost-effective, on-time completion of our construction services. We service the following industries: power generation, oil and gas refining and petro-chemical minerals.
