At the beginning of July we made a significant modification of the cross-over pipe (pipe connecting medium and low pressure turbine parts) of the 16K260 condensing turbine in one of the largest power plants in Poland. The purpose of the modernization was to install additional, regulated steam collector for heating purposes. Additional elements for installation include a T-connector and butterfly valve with actuator. This conversion, together with the additional fittings, will allow the future use of heat for heating purposes from the condensation block. Implementation of modernization had to ensure, a.o. maintaining the mutual position of the flanges (parallelity and distance of surfaces, angle of rotation) on the SP and […]
We are pleased to announce that at the beginning of August the Master Services Agreement between WWTECH and General Electric Global Services GmbH, a corporation operating under the GE Power brand, was signed and entered into force. The contract aims to simplify the procedures for offering and ordering our services to projects implemented by GE worldwide. GE Power is a world leader in energy infrastructure construction, devices for generating electricity including steam turbines, gas turbines, boilers and generators as well as renewable sources – including hydroelectric plants and wind farms. In Poland, the GE Power group includes plants in Elbląg and Wroclaw. More information at ge.com/pl.
At the beginning of August, two WWTECH engineers started works to create a new slot in the break shaft of the gantry crane’s drum. Originally, the existing groove was to be enlarged, however, it was used and a decision was made to execute a new one – nominal one. The machine used for this task – KM300, tool – three-plate finger cutter. Although the working conditions were hard (high temperature, dust, noise, height 30m) everything was done within 5 hours and the achieved tolerance was 0.03 mm.
In March, using the 3D Faro Laser Tracker, we commissioned the customer to measure the mill cage most used from the entire production line. These measurements showed the necessity to carry out the treatment consisting in the restoration of the geometry to the nominal value. We started the project at the beginning of July and it lasted only 11 days. The engineers of our company worked in 24h mode. In spite of the long preparations, it was necessary to modify the machines on the job site. This situation arose by machining additional surfaces and collisions of adapted machines with elements of the object. The machined surfaces had to be positioned […]
