Mechanical Site Labor | Weld Repair | Precision Field Machining | Outage Execution
The Challenge: A Complex Embedded-Component Refurbishment
The project combined large-diameter field machining, stainless steel weld overlay, insert installation, grouting and inspection support with multiple precision hold points. The field team also responded to unforeseen as-found conditions in the discharge liner while maintaining an intensive two-shift, seven-day-per-week schedule.
Precision
Machine setup and machining remained tied to the district-established unit centerline.
Coordination
Machining, welding, insert installation, grouting and inspection were sequenced around defined hold points.
Continuity
Two shifts operating seven days per week sustained progress through the complete repair sequence.
EXECUTION REQUIREMENT
Maintain dimensional control, quality documentation and schedule continuity while integrating multiple interdependent repair disciplines in the field.
The Solution: Integrated Welding, Machining and Field Execution
WHY THE APPROACH WORKED
Bender CCP combined mechanical installation, specialty machining, automated weld-overlay capability, field coordination and quality documentation within one continuous execution plan.
The Result: A Major Hydro Refurbishment Delivered in Approximately Four Months
