GSE Solutions announced it has acquired Iddeal Concepts, Iddeal Services, and Iddeal Solutions, expanding GSE’s engineering program offerings for nuclear and energy generation customers and adding new software and specialized ASME Code expertise.
The deal brings Iddeal’s enterprise IT and data management capabilities, on-site project support and training, and full-service engineering program services focused on ASME Section XI Inservice Inspection and O&M Code Inservice Testing programs.
GSE said the acquisition strengthens its Programs & Performance division by broadening resources available to customers, deepening technical specialization, and adding complementary technologies to support engineering, inspection, and compliance work over the long term. As part of the transaction, GSE adds the IDDEAL Software Suite, which consolidates requirements, regulations, and standards, plant components and systems, and examination programs into a single platform intended to simplify the organization, scheduling, tracking, and documentation of engineering and inspection activities.
Iddeal Vice President Paul Wright said Iddeal’s 25-year track record spans program updates, regulatory compliance, client-site software development, and implementation support, as well as industry initiative participation, positioning the combined business to compete in a consolidating market while maintaining service levels.
GSE President and CEO Ravi Khanna said the acquisition broadens GSE’s engineering services portfolio, deepens relationships with major U.S. nuclear operators, and adds a specialized talent base and technology foundation, particularly around ASME Codes and the IDDEAL Software Suite.
GSE said Iddeal will operate under GSE Solutions and work closely with the Programs & Performance division, with no expected disruption to current projects, contracts, or customer relationships. The companies added that key leadership and technical experts will remain in place to support continuity.
