Project: GE 65 Megawatt Condensing Steam Turbine Sole Plate Refurbishment

Objective

To remedy the original 1970 circa installed machinery foundation deterioration.

Our Approach

• Dynamic Field Services removed the steam turbine and condenser hood.
• We excavated and removed the original sole plates for refurbishment and machining.
• We repaired the foundation for the sole plates.
• Reinstalled equipment to obtain a maximum of .001″ alignment tolerance

Outcome

• The result of our work realized a significant reduction in overall machinery vibration amplitudes.
• This has improved equipment reliability and performance at all operating load values.
• The client is satisfied as the refurbishment has restored his equipment reliability.
