SVI BREMCO, a leading provider of industrial plant maintenance and engineering solutions, commemorates five decades of service to the power generation, chemical, and industrial sectors. The milestone anniversary highlights the company's evolution from conventional boiler services to becoming a specialized Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) maintenance leader, positioning the firm to address critical infrastructure needs as aging power plants require increased maintenance and new data center construction drives demand for gas turbine systems.
The company, which began as Bremco, Inc. in 1976, providing boiler maintenance services for schools and small commercial businesses, has transformed alongside the power generation industry. Today, SVI BREMCO delivers comprehensive industrial contracting, mechanical services, gas path solutions, and industrial masonry services to power plants, chemical facilities, and industrial operations across the nation. The company's 50 years of expertise encompasses everything from HRSG tube repair and valve maintenance to industrial noise control and corrosion-resistant systems.
"It's very rare that you have a company like ours that makes it to 50 years," said Bill Kitterman of SVI BREMCO. "Because we started at the beginning, we understand the evolution of HRSGs. Right now, the HRSGs that went through the initial boom in the 90s are at the point where there's a lot more failure mechanisms and repairs that have to be made. That's where we help."
The anniversary comes at a pivotal time for the power generation industry. Environmental regulations and the efficiency advantages of gas turbines have shifted the market from conventional boilers to HRSGs over the past several decades. The infrastructure installed during the building boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s now requires sophisticated maintenance and repair services to maintain operational efficiency. Additionally, the rapid expansion of data center construction nationwide has created unprecedented demand for reliable power generation, particularly combined-cycle units with HRSGs.
SVI BREMCO's journey reflects broader industry changes. The company expanded from welded repairs on high-pressure vessels to servicing paper mills in the Northeast, eventually becoming a leading contractor in the Waste-to-Energy industry. In the early 1990s, the company's expertise in duplex welding led to its selection by waste-heat boiler manufacturer Deltak for HRSG maintenance, marking its entry into what would become its primary market. The formation of SVI BREMCO in July 2021, when Bremco joined the SVI family, expanded the company's turnkey capabilities nationwide.
The company maintains an active presence on professional networks, with SVI BREMCO on LinkedIn serving as a platform for sharing industry insights, case studies in power plant thermography, and updates on maintaining thermal efficiency in HRSG units. The company has also achieved RAVS Plus Certification, demonstrating its commitment to industry standards and best practices.
SVI BREMCO provides industrial contracting services, including HRSG harp replacement, plant maintenance, and on-site services; industrial mechanical services, such as valve repair, welding, and machining; Gas Path Solutions, delivering acoustic and noise-control systems; and industrial masonry services, including industrial masonry for highly corrosive industrial processes. The company serves as a comprehensive resource for mechanical industrial site services, supporting power generation, chemical, petrochemical, and pulp and paper industries.
