Mechanical Outage Support
Unit Disassembly & Reassembly
Organized mechanical teardown, component removal, inspection access, fit-up, alignment assistance, and reassembly for turbine units and major mechanical components.
For hydro plant teams
Where this fits.
For plant teams, asset managers, OEMs, and outage planners opening a unit for inspection, repair, machining, bearing work, or overhaul. HRS helps manage the mechanical work between shutdown and return-to-service so removed components, hardware, findings, and next-step repairs stay controlled throughout the outage.
Failure modes
- Bearing wear, fit issues, or clearance concerns requiring unit access
- Damaged mating surfaces, stuck hardware, or corroded interfaces
- Runner, shaft, head cover, bottom ring, or embedded component damage
- Inspection findings that change the planned outage sequence
Field methods
- Component removal, match-marking, and controlled laydown
- Rigging coordination, lift-plan input, and work-area planning
- Cleaning, inspection access, fit-up, and mechanical assembly work
- Alignment and mechanical checks when included in the scope
Documentation
- As-found photos and data collected
- Component orientation, match-mark, and hardware records
- Open-item logs for inspection findings and repair decisions
- Hold-point notes, customer sign-offs, and final work summary
Call HRS when
- Unit is down
- Needs diagnosis assistance
- Machining, bearing work, or weld repair depends on mechanical access
- The outage changes and the crew needs to adapt without losing control of the work
