G-3 Steam Turbine Major Inspection

We recently executed a Major Inspection on a GE G-3 Steam Turbine rated over 750 MW for a major Utility company in the U.S.  This type of project is long and detail-oriented. The attention to safety each and every day must be at the forefront of every project, but especially one of this magnitude. There are a lot of moving parts on the schedule throughout the outage, so continuous updates and excellent communication and documentation is required to keep the project on-schedule through completion. For this project we had an excellent project management team on-site, including the Technical Field Advisors, Project Coordinator, Turbine Mechanic Foreman, and Turbine Mechanics. The experience of the team on-site can make or break the success of an outage. We are fortunate to have great outage teams, and they did an excellent job completing this project safely, with high-quality, on-schedule, and on-budget. Nice job PSG team!
