Tetra Engineering Group Inc. is a private engineering consulting firm specializing in services for the power generation industry, with a particular focus on Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) and steam cycle systems. Founded in 1988, the company is headquartered in Weatogue, Connecticut, United States, and operates additional offices in Valbonne, France, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Tetra Engineering provides a range of services including inspections, failure analysis, performance assessments, and engineering support for power plants worldwide.
History
[edit]Tetra Engineering was established in 1988 by three engineers who previously worked together at a major nuclear and fossil boiler Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in the United States. The company initially focused on improving the performance and reliability of nuclear and large fossil-fired power plants. In the late 1990s, Tetra Engineering expanded its services to address the growing installed base of HRSGs, reflecting the increasing complexity of these systems in power plants. Over time, the company further developed its expertise to include life-cycle management, root-cause analysis, and system design optimization. A European office was opened near Nice, France in 1991 and an office in the UAE in 2014.[1]
Locations
[edit]With offices in the United States, France, and the United Arab Emirates, Tetra Engineering serves clients in more than 50 countries. The company’s international footprint enables it to provide localized support and expertise to a diverse clientele in the power and process industries. As of 2024, Tetra Engineering has offices in 2 countries.
- Headquarters in Weatogue, Connecticut, USA
- EMEA office in Sophia Antipolis, France (opened in 1991).
