Integrated Outage Model
Efficiency Gains and Cost Reductions
Westinghouse’s complete line of outage services utilizes its OEM experience, skilled workforce, and state-of-the-art technology products to help utilities successfully complete outage campaigns. We have excelled in performing these services for over 40 years, resulting in our customers achieving top-quartile performance, including safe operation, extended component life, and maximized power output.
The acquisition of BHI Energy bolstered these capabilities to include specialty and turnkey maintenance and modification services, full-service valve maintenance, repair, and testing capabilities, staffing services, radiation protection services, full service I&C capabilities, and decontamination & decommissioning services for nuclear facilities across the nation. Combining these capabilities enables Westinghouse to partner with our customers and provide all outage services required within the containment building.
