Solution for Procurement & Fabrication | 32 Stop Logs

During a hydro turbine rehabilitation project, TurbinePROs field services provided a unique solution to an unexpected issue the customer encountered. The issue threatened delay and stoppage of the project.

Fabrication & Delivery of 32 Stop Logs: In need of stop logs on site within a few weeks, it was determined that other vendors were either unable to meet the schedule or unable to procure materials. TurbinePROs offered services, typically outside of the normal scope, and utilized their vendor relationships to procure a fabricator able to meet the timeline. The fabricator was able to go direct to the mill to cut logs to specified lengths ultimately saving time, welding, and labor.

Phased Fabrication & Delivery Schedule: A 2-lot, phased fabrication and delivery schedule was recommended in order to expedite an initial lot to the site. The solution kept the project on schedule and avoided work stoppage.

Workmanship | QA/QC: Tight tolerances for parallelism, straightness, and flatness of +/- 1.5mm over 25ft / 7.62 were required. Venting was incorporated along the 25 ft seam weld.

“TurbinePROs’ support and efforts in the supply of stop logs for the Hull 1 generating station rehabilitation project ensured that the logs were delivered within a very tight time frame to allow the turbine disassembly work to proceed without delay. We could see the attention that was given to confirm fabrication details and the timely communications that kept the fabrication process on schedule.”
