Some very happy memories this morning seeing this Gearcase in the TMS workshop!- a project which I was involved in back in 2007/8.
TMS offer full Gearbox inspections as part of our Turbine maintenance package, with OEM trained Gearbox Field Engineers embedded within our team we can provide inspections as part of the whole train outage or as a stand alone project.

A photo of a recently re-bladed 5Mwe Turbine Rotor which required all five rows to be replaced. As part of the planning for any outage we look to cover any unexpected issues, and with this project we ensured that blade material was available with our trusted suppliers should we need to carry out any major reclamation work.
Looking ahead has enabled us to expedite the repair whilst keeping the Customer fully up to speed with the progress. We return to site next week to fit and commission the set.
Single Stage Turbine Overhauls
As part of a long term commitment to one of our Key Customers TMS offer fixed pricing for Strip, inspect and report of single stage turbines within our workshop facility, as we move through the summer months we enter into their Boiler TAR season and part of the scope is to overhaul their fan and pump drive turbines. The machines will receive a full overhaul and rebuild and will also be subject to an air test following rebuild to test the trip mechanism- units will then be painted to Customer specifications and returned to site.

its imperative to respond quickly and efficiently to allow Customers to make informed decisions regarding their overhauled equipment.
Axial Compressor Major Outage
Axial Compressor rotor removal, part of a 14 day outage for a Customer who has very tight working parameters due to their own industry requirements.
Scope of work included Full Gearbox Overhaul, Coupling inspection and overhaul & Motor Inspection and Repair.
Customer Steam Turbine Package Awareness Training
Some great interaction with a long standing Customer who asked us to provide a Steam Turbine Package related training session at their Power Plant. The discussion covered all aspects of the train from Turbine through Gearbox and Generator and ended with an overview of the Controls and Monitoring system.
These gatherings are always a "2 way street" as we often learn more from the operators about some of the issues they face on site, which may not be specifically related to the Turbine package, but do have an outside influence on its running conditions.
We can provide generic or specific training on a wide range of subjects, either at site or our facility in Bedford which can be adapted to suit each individual clients needs.
if you feel this would benefit your business, feel free to make contact and we can begin discussions,
