As part of a wider maintenance programme, the Sulzer team
suggested that the remaining five generators should receive
an age-appropriate inspection so that any early warning signs
could be picked up and actioned. Again this recommendation
was accepted and approved by the client based on the skills and
expertise that had already been demonstrated on this project.
Neil concludes: "The continuing programme will involve the
engineers visiting the power plant at times when individual
generators are taken off-line for planned maintenance. This
builds further on the working relationship that has already been
formed and reinforces our commitment to deliver the highest
level of service."
As a result of the successful inspection, recommendation and
repair works carried out to restore the 45 MW generator to a fully
operational state, prior to departing for their return journey, part
of the repair team were invited to visit one of the client's other
sites in order to complete some remedial works and preventative
maintenance checks on several other generators.
