Salient Features Of Turbine Erection The fore most activity before taking up the work is the safe working conditions. Thus we should first assemble temporary railing and covers before the start of the job Remove construction material & sweep the foundation well. A proper foundation is of utmost importance for proper operation of the machine. A hammer test is to be carried to detect any flaw / void in the concrete layer. An ultrasonic testing of the TG deck should also be carried out if possible. No looseness below the base plates is acceptable

FOUNDATION CHECK: check accuracy of size, elevation & axiality of foundation for conformance the erection drawing Check all contact surfaces & openings for turbine, generator etc., Holes for anchor bolts. Record final dimensions & make a protocol Check, mark & record main reference point (absolute floor level) for height against building wall or foundation pillar

BASE PLATES & BEARING PEDESTALS : LAYING The base plates are designed to transfer uniformly all forces & vibrations caused by the operation of the machine.The pedestal are aligned as the deflection curve of the rotor. The base plates are leveled with help leveling screws provided below the base plate

ANCHOR BOLTS FOR BASE plates:they are long through bolts for fastening the machine / base plates to the foundation. They are stretch elongated by specified length by the help of the bolt tensioning device.Normally diagonally opposite two bolts are tightened & locked subsequently

ALIGNMENT :align the base plates in zero position as per the deflection curve. The location is fixed in longitudinal & transverse axes using plumb & piano wires.The levels are fixed using the leveling instrument such as the dumpy level or by scale & water tubes and final levelling is done by the help of precision spirit level.Normally bearing pedestal #4 acts as the zero level for the turbine.The base plates & pedestals are then tightened with spanners for taking up the grouting

Grouting: The grouting of the base plates & pedestals is carried using shrink free grouting cement which is intended to ensure uniform transmission of mass and vibration of the machine on the foundation.The activity is carried with great care as the operation behavior of the machine depends largely on workmanship while carrying out the assembly of the load bearing components Bolt tensioning:

COUPLINGS: coupling on turbine shaft are generally rigid couplings. The couplings are used to connect two shafts to form a shaft assembly. The couplings are so designed so as to perform the following two functions: a)the dimensions & design is such that it is capable of transmission of all torque encountered during its service. b) The coupling must not influence the smooth running of the shaft assembly

SALIENT FEATURES OF TURBINE ERECTION (CONT)
After carrying out the coupling check and performing the adjustments necessary in the shaft position, the coupling of the shafts is carried out. Check for concentricity / radial alignment before carrying out the the coupling. Also measure the clearance between the spigot & recess. This should be well within the specified limit s of 0.08mm or else it shall give a lot of problem while doing the alignment of the rotors. There after carry out the axial alignment of the rotors

SALIENT FEATURES OF TURBINE ERECTION (CONT)
While coupling ensure the concentricity of the coupling holes of the two coupling. This shall minimize the requirement of reaming & honing. A run out check at the shaft journal is necessary to ensure a good coupling. It may be noted that even a run out of 0.03mm at journal area will eventually lead to vibrations of 30 microns.A higher run out is an indication of improperly connected coupling. It is imperative to locate the cause of the improper connection& to eliminate them by appropriate measures

CASING GUIDES: The casing guides are used to link the turbines & bearing casing together in such away that turbine casing can expand freely in desired direction when heated. Prior to installation of the turbine casing, check their mating surfaces& t6hose of bearing casing for perfect condition. Permanent casing guide keys are fixed with required clearance after the final alignment of rotor and casings. Ensure a thin layer of molykote on keys while installing. The thickness of keys& the clearances are to be recorded in the logsheets

CASING SUPPORTS :The position of all outer casing & that of inner casing of LP turbine are fixed horizontally by casing supports. When the turbine casing rests on the bracket supports the casing is at proper elevation wrt turbine shaft The HP &IP turbine casing are supported in the turbine axis by two front & two rear bracket supports standing on the support blocks of the pedestals.The support are free to slide during the thermal expansion

BEARING PEDESTALS The Function of the Bearing Pedestal Is To: -Support the Rotors -Connect HP & IP to Form One Unit -Support HP & IP Turbine Sections -Center the Turbine Sections THRUST BEARING takes care of the uncompensated residual thrust FRONT BEARING PEDESTAL houses the main oil pump for lube oil & control oil. The over speed trip device is also installed in this pedestal AXIAL MOVEMENT : those pedestals which are not fixed point are designed to take care of thermal expansion. The movement is based in the length of the turbine section and the casing temperatures Setting of spacer bolt clearance Checking of radial & axial clearance on the right & left hand sides

The Erection any equipment is a complete & systematic process which is well conceived before start of the job. It involves detailed planning about the content and the scope of work that needs to done. The complete technical specification of the equipment, its Layout, the foundations, and the Terminal points have to be defined before the start of the work. It is well said, that a work well planned is half done. Thus while award of the work the complete technical specifications are frozen in detail during pre award discussions with the Engineering and the Contract services.

-The complete erection of a TG is a long drawn process requiring more that 30 months of work. -Thus the sequence of supplies and their dates of dispatches are decided before hand. -Similarly the dates of readiness of the Foundations is also decided before hand. -The Terminal points are also decided before the Final award of the contract i.e. NTPC scope(Customer Scope) which generally are free construction power supply, water supply, Civil foundations, EOT Crane (optional) with operators, Compressed air, Area lighting, accommodation land, storage area, DM water etc. -The rest of the work is in the scope of the equipment supplier. - This includes Supply, Storage, Erection, Testing & Commissioning and Trial operation of the equipment.

Pert Networks The contractor is required to submit a PERT network indication the major mile stone dates The three types viz. L1, L2 & L3 networks are submitted by the contractor which is reviewed & finalized after incorporating the comments of the owner. L3 is the complete detailed network which is normally used at site for each commitment Similarly the supplies are also decided as per the milestone dates and any slippage from the committed date is subject to LD to be levied by the owner. This is levied @ 1/2 % per weeks delay subject a maximum ceiling of 5 % 26 May 2012 PMI Revision 00 46
Handing Over Of Fronts
The fronts are handed over to the contractor after due checking of the soundness & dimensional check of the elevation & pocket, insert sizes and their location after a joint protocol It is essential to provide weather proof TG hall along with crane girder which includes side wall cladding, railway siding, approach ladders / staircase, adjoining floors etc

CONSTRUCTION OF TG DECK The TG deck is supported on steel / RCC columns. A vibration isolation system is provided on the column to isolate the deck vibrations from the columns After the layout of steel inserts on the form work/ shuttering, the TG deck is constructed by a process of non stop casting in order to provide monolithic structure. The cement setting is delayed by adding certain additives to the concrete mixture. The curing is carried out for a period of 28 days after which it is released for erection of the equipments
