Turbines

This course will provide the trainee with the knowledge necessary to understand and enhance their mechanical aptitude in the area of both Steam and Gas Turbines

The purpose of this course is to develop a working knowledge of the various types of Turbines as well as the different procedures and regulations associated with operation and installation of this equipment. With the completion of this course the participants are equipped with the knowledge required to inspect, troubleshoot and repair Turbines and their related systems.

Technicians are required to have good technical comprehension regarding turbines and the associated systems.  The technicians that participate in this training will be better equipped to repair and maintain as well as install and commission turbines and their associated systems within their responsibilities as well as increasing the knowledge within the maintenance team, thereby increasing the safe and efficient productivity of the mechanical systems.  With further on-job training and experience the technician will be able to attend more advanced training in this area therefore enhancing the maintenance team’s capabilities and knowledge.
