Life Prediction Technologies Inc has successfully completed a project with DRDO on Remaining Life Estimation and Life Extension of Aero Engine Components in a timely manner…..
LPTi’s XactLIFE solution has allowed us to save huge amount of foreign exchange in maintenance cost by extending the life of the parts and increasing the asset availability and improving operational readiness of the aircraft engines.
It has been pleasure to work with a highly knowledgeable team of LPTi. Their quality of work was exceptionally good and the LPTi team always paid close attention to details during the course of the project. Their committment to safety, quality and on-time completion of the project deliverable is appreciated.
We would recommend LPTi to anyone looking for solutions to extend the lives of their assets of similar nature.

LPTi, a prognostic company in Ottawa, Canada, successfully executed a project with PDVSA involving residual life prediction and life extension for a fleet of 43 W-101 turbines located at Maracaibo in Venezuela. LPTi engineers assessed the damage tolerance of life expired discs and devised a safe inspection interval strategy using its physics based fracture mechanics algorithms. This technology allowed PDVSA to implement a retirement-for-cause approach to disc life cycle management in the field...
...Implementing this maintenance philosophy has allowed PDVSA to extend the life of W-101 fleet of engines well beyond the OEM recommended life limits. This approach has also allowed us to save on capital spending by deferring the investment costs while minimizing operational risks at the same time. Instead of spending $40 million to replace all life expired disks in our fleet of W-101 engines immediately, PDVSA has only spent approximately $2.5 million ($0.5 Million on an annual basis for the last five years)...

Probabilistic safe life prediction tool, being developed by LPTi in collaboration with Defence R&D Canada and DND (Dept. of National Defence) will allow life cycle managers to quantify any risk associated with different life extension schemes and usage scenarios. Life cycle managers will use this tool to assess the residual life of their engine components as a function of usage and flight mission profiles...
