Machine Train Alignment for an Energy Nuclear Power Plant

• PROJECT SCOPE: a company conducting an outage on a steam turbine at a nuclear power plant. It was necessary to align multiple components, but it had to be done quickly, and a bolt-bound condition was not an option. A machine-train alignment had to be performed to meet the requirements of the project.

• ACQUIP PERFORMANCE: ACQUIP was contacted to perform the machine train laser alignment on the steam turbine. We had to read each of the couplings and view the alignment as a whole. All alignment targets were considered. A small horizontal and vertical move was performed on the generator only to get both couplings within excellent alignment tolerance. Results: Acquip Engineers helped the company solve a complex alignment problem with the minimal number of moves possible and without moving the bearings. The unit was brought back into service quickly and without creating or doing hot work in a nuclear environment.

• RESULTS OF THE PROJECT ACQUIP Engineers helped GE in solving a complex alignment problem with the minimal amount of moves possible and without moving the bearings. The unit was brought back into service quickly and without creating and hot work in a nuclear environment.
