Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis\u2019 (MD&A) experts performed a steam turbine<\/a> and generator<\/a> Operating Surveillance for a customer where various issues and leaks were identified for the operating unit. The Operating Surveillance service is typically performed while the unit is online and takes 2-3 days depending on the size and complexity of the unit.<\/p>\n

These results and recommendations allow our customers to help ensure the continued reliability of their equipment through an independent expert evaluation. Additionally, the findings and recommendations of MD&A\u2019s engineer are reviewed as part of the exit interview with the owner. Maintenance plans and priorities are reviewed and adjusted, as necessary, based on findings.<\/p>\n

After reviewing documentation from the owner\/operator to establish a unit-specific checklist and datasheets, MD&A\u2019s engineer conducts initial discussions with operations and maintenance personnel to gain a better understanding of unit history and any known issues or particular areas of focus. Then, MD&A\u2019s expert collects operational data up to 4 different times throughout the visit using a variety of instruments and records it in a Turbine Performance Data Log that is part of the final report.<\/p>\n
