KEMA has acquired the business of Northeast Inspection Services (NISI), a leading provider of specialized non destructive testing (NDT) services for the power generation industry. The acquisition of the Schenectady, New York-based firm’s assets fits in KEMA’s global growth strategy for its technical and operational services and further strengthens its position as a leading expert, specialized in NDT services. With this acquisition KEMA will roughly double its NDT service capacity, key to meeting growing demand.

‘We are very excited to be combining over 40 years of KEMA and NISI expertise in non destructive testing,’ said Pier Nabuurs, CEO of KEMA. ‘KEMA can now be even more effective in delivering independent, top-of-class turbine related testing and inspections solutions to optimize power plant operations, reliability and maintenance, and to realize greatest possible returns from asset investments.’

20 years experience
For over 20 years, NISI has been providing specialized NDT services for turbine manufacturers, commercial utilities and individual plant sites, steam path engineering consultants and specialized turbine service shops. NISI supports critical schedules during seasonally planned outages and has been the turbine NDT contractor of choice for many owners or operations throughout the United States.
