Turbine Outage Services

Whenever possible, power plant owners prefer to plan ahead for major turbine outages that involve steam turbine overhauls or generator inspections. However, forced steam turbine outages do occur and too often result in the need for expedited engineering response and immediate turbine outage services. MD&A provides clients with the labor, engineering and the technical experts necessary to address both planned and forced outages of steam turbines and generators. Our technical directors and project managers are available 24 hours a day.

  • Topless Alignment

    Topless Alignment Services® eliminates the time consuming and expensive process of reassembling the turbine for "Tops-On" measurements, saving hundreds of man-hours and labor per turbine section. Most centerline alignment activities are moved off the critical path, reducing outage duration by days. No "Tops-On" readings are needed.
