We were recently contracted by a major utility in the Midwest U.S. to repair a damaged shaft at one of their power generating facilities. The remediation process included machining the existing shaft to remove the damaged area and hard spots, weld build up of the shaft, and final machining to achieve desired diameters and tolerances. This repair was performed by our trained technicians, utilizing specialty equipment designed for this application. The end result was a repaired shaft, and a happy customer.

We recently completed another uptower wind turbine shaft machining project. Our equipment and personnel will travel to wherever the problem may be. For the wind industry, it happens to be 200+ feet above the ground, but we’re happy to do this on your turbine deck or any other area in the plant as well. Please give us a call if you have any emergent shaft machining needs, we’ll respond quickly and get your equipment back up and running.

We recently received a call to perform an uptower repair of a damaged shaft inside a Wind Turbine. We have experienced technicians that are specifically trained for uptower Wind Turbine repairs, and have the expertise and equipment to successfully execute these projects. The final results are a safe, quality project – with a shaft that is back within OEM specified tolerances. The photos below show the before and after of a shaft in need of refurbishment, and the excellent work that our technicians perform. The end result is another satisfied customer…

Our Field Machining Division was dispatched to repair an inboard fan shaft for a Utility customer in the Midwest. We mobilized a total of 4 specialty field machining personnel, and began the process of machining the inboard fan shaft which had severe shaft damage and hard spots. We cleaned up 100% of the shaft, had hardness checks performed, and then proceeded to final hone and polish.
The total duration of the project was 3 days from start to finish, and the end result was another satisfied customer. The photos below will give you an idea of the severity of the original shaft damage, as well as the final condition upon completion. Another great project by our Field Machining Division!
