Onsite Turbine Care. On-Time Project Delivery.
Inducted, repaired, overhauled, and tested without ever leaving our state-of-the-art Sedalia campus, your engine goes through a five stage-gate process that delivers best-in-class tolerances to optimize turbine heat rates and performance. The process takes place among three buildings to minimize outsourcing and accelerate turnarounds.
Documentation and Tracking of Every Unit
After photographing and inducting the engine in the Aero Depot, we inspect it for damaged or missing parts and disassemble it to piece-parts using our specialized tooling and machinery to expedite the process.
Thorough Preparation for Effective Restoration
At the Aero Repair and Manufacturing (ARM) facility, we clean and degrease all parts and components on an industrial clean line, followed by a fluorescent penetrant inspection as well as dimensional inspections to detect any flaws.
Condition-Based Techniques for Proven Performance
While still at our ARM facility, we proceed with any needed structural repairs, perform overhauls, and inspect the parts again for conformance. In addition to repairing and overhauling serviceable parts, our capabilities extend to coating, brazing, heat treating, and manufacturing new components.
Precision Practices for Turbine Quality
Parts return to our Aero Depot, where we statically balance disks; dynamically balance rotors; install new or overhauled blades, vanes, nozzles, shrouds; and grind to precision tolerances. Our technicians then use specialized tooling to install parts, components, and modules in preparation for shipment.
Onsite Simulation of Real-World Operating Conditions
With full-speed, full-load testing capabilities and a custom-built load bank at our onsite string-test facility, we verify LM6000 PC and PD performance while decoupled from the grid. Our comprehensive operational examination covers power output, heat rate, vibration, and load.
