STEAM TURBINE DESIGN
Our design engineers are some of the finest in the world when designing for difficult applications such as remote locations or harsh marine environments. We can help at every stage of development, from initial concept design through to production of detailed manufacturing drawings. Designs can be produced to conform to any international, national or industry standard required.
Analytical and design facilities include:
- CAD/CAM
- FEA – finite element analysis (linear, non-linear and multi-physics)
- CFD – computational fluid dynamics
- Rotor dynamics
- Heat transfer
- Control system design
- Materials science
STEAM TURBINE MANUFACTURING
Our steam turbines are the result of continuous, evolutionary development, to maximise efficiency for lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
With each turbine individually designed to match the customer’s specification, we use a modular form of construction to enable standardisation of service-proven components, undertaken within our advanced manufacturing, monitoring and test facilities in Peterborough, UK
Our “right first time” culture that has given us a global reputation for delivering practical and economic engineered solutions.
STEAM TURBINE INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
World-class project management ensures that globally sourced components arrive on-site, on-time to start a seamless installation
and commissioning process.
Our team of experienced field service engineers are able to coordinate and conduct activities from the inspection of the turbine foundations to the commissioning and hand-over of the machine to the customer on land and marine based packages.
