Gas Turbine and Turbomachinery Maintenance

Gas turbines and large turbomachinery drive power generation and heavy process duties in African plants, where a single trip can cost enormous production. Maintaining these high speed machines demands specialised knowledge of clearances, balancing and condition monitoring. This programme prepares experienced technicians and engineers to plan and execute turbomachinery maintenance and to interpret the condition data that governs intervention.
