Wood Group GTS has expanded its Aberdeen maintenance capabilities.
The firm is extending its gas-turbine service line and now offers maintenance, repair and overhaul for Solar Mars and Siemens SGT 200 (Tornado) dry low emissions (DLE) and SGT 100 (Typhoon) gas turbines.
Wood Group GTS is the first independent service provider to offer aftermarket services for all three models, which are used primarily by the oil and gas industry.
In Aberdeen, the test cell was extended to incorporate SGT 200 DLE testing and new test capability is being added for the SGT 100 (Typhoon) engine line.
These new test cells feature control systems designed by Wood Group GTS and enable the turbines to be tested at full operating load, helping assure customers of performance after the overhaul or repair.
In addition to its investment in the workshops, parts, repairs and procedures needed to overhaul these turbines, the firm has invested in the development of its people, training the skilled technicians who will perform the work.
Wood Group GTS president Mark Dobler said: “Wood Group GTS is delighted to add these three new engine lines to our portfolio. Through continued investment in both overhaul and test facilities, we are demonstrating our commitment to further support fleet owners and operators with choice when it comes to their gas-turbine maintenance.
“We look forward to providing the operators of these fleets optimal lifecycle returns on their assets and solutions that increase availability and performance backed by full test capability.”
