Salko Energy – GT 26 Exhaust Gas Housing Repairs

Newark, UK

Project Background

Salko was engaged by the end client to complete critical Exhaust Gas Housing repairs on x9 of their GT 26’s across the UK.

Objective

The condition of the Exhaust Gas Housing was assessed prior to the works commencing by Salko and the customers representative welding engineers. An assessment report was subsequently issued to Salko to provide an understanding of extent of the required works, determining the full scope and complete the repairs on Exhaust Gas Housing as per the agreed repair recommendations.

The solution

Following a review of the assessment report, Salko supplied skilled supervision and labour, including in-house coded pressure welders to complete the required repair works. Salko worked closely with the customer to understand their requirements and throughout execution to deliver the project to their expectations. All fit ups and completed welds were subject to 100% visual inspection and DPI (Dye penetrant inspection).
