Turbine Mechanic
1 Year 4 Months- Performed daily inspections of turbine components and equipment to ensure safe operation. Installed and maintained gas, steam, in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. Worked on frame 5,6, and 7 natural gas units. Repaired or replaced defective parts using hand tools, power tools, and precision measuring instruments. Dismantled turbine parts for repair or replacement purposes. Reassembled turbine components after repairs were completed according to manufacturers' instructions. Followed safety protocols, regulations and codes to reduce hazards and risks to personnel and equipment. Resolved valve recession caused by not using enough lubricant, the disc damages the seat and creates blowby. Took the valves apart inspect the seats and disc area and either “lap” the seat and change the disc or machine the seats so the disc will blew into the seat for 100% contact to create 0 blowby and is effective and the correct way.
