UAB Axioma servisas, a provider of maintenance services to industrial and infrastructure companies, has won another important public procurement. A team from the Kaunas service unit has undertaken to implement a maintenance project for a steam turbine, generator and other auxiliary equipment at UAB Alytaus šilumos tinklai, which supplies hot water and heat.
The servicing shall be carried out every 100 000 operating hours
The power generation system at the district boiler house in Alytus consists of a steam turbine, a generator, an oil system and other equipment.
According to the manufacturers’ recommendations, a comprehensive maintenance of this equipment should be carried out every 100 000 operating hours. This is what Axioma’s service technicians are currently doing.
The dismantled equipment is transported to Germany and Austria
All the equipment was dismantled in the first week of June and transported by two trucks to the manufacturers’ workshops. One truck transported the equipment to ELIN Motoren GmbH’s workshop in Austria and the other to MAN Energy Solutions SE in Germany.
The steam turbine rotor, its guides, the high pressure control and turbine steam quick shut-off valves with hydraulic actuators and the rotor swing mechanism were transported to Germany and the generator to Austria.
After a thorough diagnostic, the manufacturers’ experts will replace worn out components and carry out the necessary maintenance work. This will take 4-5 weeks. The equipment will then be transported to Alytus, installed and commissioned.
The biggest challenge is in process management
“The biggest challenge is the high volume of work and the tight deadline. You have to manage all the deadlines and partners’ work within a few months in order to complete the project on the client’s deadline. Transporting exceptional technological equipment is also risky. Alytaus šilumos tinklai required that all the transported equipment was insured for more than EUR 2.5 million,” says project manager Tomas Kupstas about the subtleties of the project.
All the work will be carried out during June-July.
The value of the contract signed with the client cannot exceed EUR 1.5 million.
