Altran Solution's staff possesses extensive experience in ASME OM Codes for managing periodic Inservice Testing (IST) of pumps and valves. Our team of professionals includes former utility IST Program Managers, and personnel active in Code activities and/or with systems and operations experience at all PWR and BWR designs. Our staff also includes certified SROs (PWR and BWR) that can ensure that actual system operating conditions, component functions and requirements are appropriately considered.

An Altran advantage is our representation on several ASME Code committees and participation at industry conferences on leading plant issues. Altran's consultants are cognizant of relief requests that can reduce the scope of IST testing in areas such as containment spray pump testing, safety injection check valve testing, and skid mounted positions, to name a few. Our diverse knowledge and experience enables us to help clients establish an IST program that addresses the concerns of regulatory agencies as well as internal plant customers (e.g., systems engineering, operations, maintenance, etc.).
