Energy Industry Materials Testing Services 

Sundown at the power plant- transmission lines and structures

Energy industry producers and their suppliers rely on IMR Test Labs to provide analytical services on the materials needed for power generation equipment and components. From routine checks of raw materials to support R&D efforts, and failure analyses, our labs can provide clear, concise reports, fast turnaround times, and access to our experts before, during and after testing.  We provide testing on metals, polymers, fiber-reinforced composites, ceramics, contaminants and corrosion products.

We carry a broad range of accreditations including numerous NQA-1 & NIAC approvals, and we've worked with clients and suppliers in a variety of power generation facilities:

  • Nuclear
  • Steam Turbine
  • Hydropower
  • Wind Turbine
  • Power Transmission
