Authorized Maintenance Facility
The customer who has IHI gas turbine power plant needs to implement regular maintainance conducted by specialized technician in addition to daily inspection for stable gas turbine power plant operation, in order to manage and control the function and performance of gas turbine power plant.
The technicians with rich experience and abundant knowledge in the fields of inspection & test, repair & overhaul, quality control, and other related matters and the specialized equipments and tools devised specifically are essential for gas turbine power plant maintenance tasks.
Maintenance Service System for IHI Gas Turbines
IHI has capability to impement overall overhaul, repair and maintainance of General Electric gas turbines. IHI technicians can conduct all of the necessary maintenance and overhauling tasks themselves without sending back customer's gas turbine engines to the facility of General Electric as our gas turbine engine supplier.
This means that it aloso allows customers to see actual process of overhaul, repair and maintainance of gas turbines, and it can prevent from becoming mere hidden black boxes. Then, IHI can offer the overall maintainance services to our customer under the condition that our customer give us good understanding about our business and agreement with our policy. It also helps to make maintenance operations flow more smoothly.
The IHI technicians have also thoroughly studied every inch of the engine to learn all about it, which enables them to respond immediately in the event that problems occur. In addition, the IHI technicians can conduct maintenance on gas turbine engines already installed at existing gas turbine power plants as far as the gas tubines are the same model as IHI gas turbine lineup.
