Gas Turbine Consultancy
Gas turbines are complex pieces of equipment with expensive and highly loaded components. Decisions with expensive consequences on component integrity, replacement or changes to past practices have to be taken. Our role is to provide specialist technical expertise to assist the operator in reaching these decisions. Likewise we provide independent analysis and support when things go wrong and failures occur.
Basis of Expertise
- Gas Turbine Failure Analysis
- Steam Turbine Failure Analysis
- Many years of experience helping operators and understanding their problems
- Very wide range of technical issues addressed over the last 25 years
- Experience of a very wide range of OEMs, machine types, technology levels and types of issues
- Independence from OEMs, repair companies and supply vendors
Short and long term support
- 1 month of advice through to 10 years of on ongoing support
- Component durability and damage assessments
- Advice on repair and replacement options
- Assessment of long term implications of design or maintenance approach
- Risk based assessments
Failures and immediate assistance
- A full range of support ranging from just technical investigation through to Expert Witness work in arbitration or litigation
- The objective is to find root causes and provide realistic recommendations to avoid repeat failures
