Common Gas Turbine Problems

Leading on from this, there are indeed many issues that can arise with gas turbines. Being able to quickly diagnose and resolve these is critical for minimal downtime, and our team are well positioned to respond quickly to your needs. A few of the most common gas turbine faults that our team deals with include:

  • Wear and tear: Gas turbines have many moving parts, meaning that wear and tear can be an issue. Wear and tear can impact the performance of the turbine as well as lead to equipment failure, which is why ongoing maintenance is so important.
  • Corrosion: Gas turbines must operate in harsh conditions, which means that corrosion can become an issue over time. This corrosion can weaken the gas turbine in the long term, so component maintenance and repairs are often required.
  • Impact damage: Gas turbines can also be susceptible to impact damage from other heavy objects. These can cause cracks and other problems that can prevent the turbine from working to maximum efficiency.

Component Repairs & Ongoing Maintenance

Here at Metalock, we have expertise in resolving problems, our team of experts is adept at resolving issues related to turbine blades, combustion chambers, and rotors and stators. We can provide precise solutions to a range of issues to keep your gas turbines in optimum condition and resolve small faults before they erupt into large, expensive failures that bring your daily operation to a grinding halt.

Gas turbines must also be maintained over time to keep optimum performance. Continuous care is important for balancing and vibration control, minimising erosion and corrosion impact, and adjusting to load variations.

We can come to you and our techniques mean that we can carry out repairs without the need to take the turbine completely apart.
  • Extend Lifespan: Gas turbines are significant pieces of equipment that you want to get the most out of. With our maintenance and repair services, you can help to prolong the life of your gas turbine and prevent major breakdowns. This can keep your operation up and running while also helping to increase the longevity of your turbine.
  • Enhanced Safety: You must also consider the potential dangers that poorly maintained equipment can present to others. Faulty gas turbines can be a serious threat, so maintenance and repairs are key to enhancing safety and protecting your workers.
  • Lower Costs: There are financial benefits to gas turbine repairs and maintenance. When you are able to keep your turbines in optimum condition, you can help prevent costly downtime but also maximise fuel usage.
  • Peace of Mind: You can have peace of mind knowing that your gas turbine is being maintained and repaired by an expert. You can be reassured knowing that your gas turbines are operating smoothly and in peak condition, which can prevent the chance of a breakdown. You cannot put a price on peace of mind when it comes to industrial operations!
