Custom Platform For Safe Turbine Manufacturing
Unified Engineering is dedicated to providing innovative and practical solutions for industrial manufacturing challenges. In the demanding field of power generation, efficiency and safety are paramount. Our universal turbine assembly platform exemplifies our commitment to excellence, combining engineering expertise, custom fabrication, and global deployment to meet the complex needs of turbine manufacturing.
The Challenge:
Efficiency in large-scale manufacturing for industrial power generation is essential to reducing operational costs and meeting production demands. Turbine assembly requires a versatile and safe work platform that can accommodate multiple gas turbine designs while ensuring optimal access for workers. The challenge was to create a durable, adaptable platform that could handle the varying requirements of six different turbine models, maintain safety standards, and be transportable for international installation.
The Solution:
Unified Engineering designed and manufactured a universal turbine assembly platform tailored for safe and efficient turbine manufacturing. The platform accommodates six gas turbine designs using custom in-fill panels for versatility and efficiency. Features such as removable floor support members, hinged floor plates, kickplates, removable handrails, and stairwells enhance usability and safety. Designed for manufacturability, the platform was fabricated to fit inside multiple 40-foot containers for transport to Damman, Saudi Arabia. Unified Engineering also selected local trades and supervised the platform’s successful installation on-site.
The Benefit:
The universal turbine assembly platform streamlines the turbine manufacturing process, enabling efficient production for a range of designs. It provides workers with secure, floor-level access to assembly points and safe access to the turbine’s split joint from above, improving operational safety and productivity. By adhering to rigorous welding and structural standards, the platform ensures long-term reliability. Its modular, transportable design simplifies logistics, making it a cost-effective and practical solution for global manufacturing needs.
