DEKOMTE de Temple Joins the Groome Solutions Network, Enabling Added Expansion Joint and Pen Seal Capabilities

Denville, NJ – July 13, 2026 – Groome Industrial Service Group today announced that DEKOMTE de Temple, a global leader in fabric and metal expansion joint and penetration (pen) seal technology, has joined the Groome Solutions Network – Groome’s established network of independent providers. The relationship enables added expansion joint and pen seal capabilities for the natural gas turbine plants Groome serves.

Groome serves mission-critical natural gas infrastructure at a pivotal moment for the industry. Surging power demand is requiring natural gas-fired plants to cycle more frequently and unpredictably than they were designed to handle, with global data center electricity use projected to more than double by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. As operating intensity accelerates wear on HRSG components, ductwork, and balance-of-plant surfaces, fabric and metal expansion joints and penetration seals become common reliability risks in the gas path – ones operators need addressed within tight outage windows and by teams they already trust.

With DEKOMTE in the network, operators get engineered fabric and metal expansion joint and pen seal solutions delivered within a single, coordinated outage scope – reducing handoffs and helping lower the risk of unplanned downtime.

The Groome Solutions Network brings together independent providers whose capabilities complement Groome’s turnkey service lines, so operators can coordinate more of their outage scope through a single, accountable team. Each provider remains independent and responsible for its own products and services.

DEKOMTE de Temple added, “We are excited to join the Groome Solutions Network and support the natural gas turbine plants Groome serves across the country. DEKOMTE has spent decades delivering reliable expansion joint and penetration seal solutions to power generation customers, and this relationship allows us to make our engineering expertise, proven products, and outage support capabilities more accessible to operators through a trusted partner, who will provide the turnkey services to complement our solution. We look forward to working alongside the Groome team to help customers improve reliability, execute successful outages, and keep their facilities operating at peak performance.
