Course Objectives

The objective of this course is to allow the attendee a detailed understanding of the mechanical
maintenance activities associated with Gas Turbines.

Course Description

This course is an ideal course for those engineers/technicians wishing to gain a more detailed understanding of the mechanical design and maintenance activities associated with Gas Turbines. Together with a detailed examination of the major systems of a Gas Turbine this course also discusses the different maintenance approaches along with a description of the mechanical aspects of the typical Gas Turbine Inspections. Presenting this course at our Masaood John Brown Gas Turbine Maintenance/Repair facility will allow attendees to see practical examples of Gas Turbine Components, types of component faults and associated repair techniques.

Who Should Attend

The primary function of this five-day course is to allow the attendee a detailed understanding of the mechanical maintenance activities associated with Gas Turbines. Therefore this course is targeted at technicians and engineers involved in the mechanical maintenance activities of Gas Turbines. Experienced engineers and maintenance specialists will also benefit from attending this course, as will those managers concerned with the maintenance scheduling and repair aspects of Gas Turbines.

Pre-Requisites

All Attendees should have a sound power generation background. 

Course Outcome

At the end of this course you will be able to describe the systems associated with a Modern Gas Turbine.
