Steam Turbine Major Outage

This Steam Turbine is undergoing maintenance which includes replacing three rows of blades; two rows on the high pressure section, and one row on the intermediate pressure section. Simultaneous work is taking place throughout the turbine hall, and this video tries to capture the excitement of working night shift on a steam turbine outage.

What power plant was this filmed at?

[WAGfilms]

@tbsla13 Sorry, most power plants do not like videos of them posted online, so I'll keep the name of the power plant to myself.

I liked the part with the waterslide.

@BurtBartlow The waterslide was a joke because I told my friend James that at the start of the project we had to wait a long time for the unit to cool down. He suggested we build some waterslides on it...

I work for Elliott-turbo and we machine these turbines from the raw forging to the final cut clearance operation as well in Jeanette PA. Oh we stand behind our product to all the way to field operations!

This is THE way it is supposed to be done. Others will take months and weeks to do the same. Milking the clock I suppose.

I work at GE and machine these turbines from the raw forging to the final cut clearance operation.

What is your method of the bolts tightening? Thermal extention? By resistors? Whatcha our technology of INDUCTION HEATING of bolts. Simple, safe, convinient, fast ...just great!!!!!!!!!!!

I've Just spent the day working In a Gas powered Powerplant and these things are amazing

Excellent video. My children now have a better idea as to how things work. Unfortunately, there are millions more who could learn something interesting if they would simply explore...

@WAGfilms Understandable.
