Excellent Customer Feedback

/in , /by

We recently received excellent feedback from one of our recent Steam Turbine Major Inspections performed for a Utility customer in the Southern U.S.  This is the type of feedback that makes all of the effort during the planning and execution phases worthwhile.   We are very appreciative of every opportunity we receive, and strive to do our best for each and every customer.  Great to see this type of feedback, and another outstanding job by our field and repair teams!

 

“The response to our RFP was clear, concise, and with a very detailed schedule.”

“It is clear to anyone watching your crew work that PSG has a strong safety culture.”

“The Technical Field Advisor and his team kept us updated and there were no surprises.”

“Of the bids we reviewed for this job, PSG had the most aggressive schedule and then met that schedule. This was a planned 60 day outage that was shortened to 45, so meeting the planned restart date was critical.”

“No leak, no issues, no defects. Very impressive.”

“Very detailed outage report. Better than I am accustomed to seeing.”

“The proposal for the inspection was detailed and thorough. Likewise for all extra work generating during the outage.”

“Documentation was accurate and detailed.”

“I would be glad to have PSG here for our next outage.”

Contact us today to learn how we can provide you with high quality/low cost valve components for your Steam Turbine.   We manufacture a variety of valve components for various Steam Turbine OEM types for the fossil and nuclear industries.

If your outage is here and an unexpected need arises we can reverse engineer and manufacture components through the simple process outlined below.

 

  • Sample Received– Whether it’s a stock item or an item made to order for a special application, the process begins with a new or used sample.
  • Reverse Engineering – After receiving your sample, we confirm all required properties using our state of the art equipment; properties such as dimensions, hardness, and material composition.
  • Design – From the reverse engineering data, a detailed CAD manufacturing drawing is created in accordance with international design standards.
  • Price Estimate – A price estimate is provided to the customer for the finished part. Typically, savings are in the range of 15-30% under standard retail pricing. More savings can be realized as production quantities increase.
  • Manufacture – Upon agreement on the design and price, we manufactures the part, keeping you updated on status along the way. After passing a stringent quality inspection, parts will ship immediately.

 

This entire process can be expedited to get your turbine back online as quickly as possible.   We hope to hear from you the next time you need any steam turbine valve components.

G2 Steam Turbine Control Valve Inspection

/in , /by

We were recently contracted by a utility company in the U.S. to perform a valve inspection on a GE G2 Steam Turbine.   The inspection consisted of removing 4 control valve assemblies, sending them to our Steam Turbine Valve Component Manufacturing & Repair Facility in Gainesville, Georgia for inspection, then returning the valves to site for reinstallation by our field service team.  While the components are in our valve facility any replacement parts can be manufactured, or repairs made, as needed.  For more information about our valve facility capabilities please CLICK HERE. 

The field service team finished the reinstallation of the valves on schedule, with quality craftsmanship, and most importantly – no safety incidents.  Great job by our field service and repair facility teams working together to execute another successful project!

 

100% blue contact check at reassembly – always a welcome sight!

We are officially ISO 9001:2015 Certified!
