Gas Turbine Plant, Greenville, SC – Turbine Stacking Pit Controls Upgrade

Upstate Engineering provided engineering services to upgrade the control system for an existing Turbine Stacking Pit. Four motors, with variable speed drives, support and vertically position a table in the pit. Operators load parts and adjust the position of the table while assembling turbines. The control system utilizes an inclinometer to automatically adjust the vertical positions of the four corners of the table.

We provided control system design, equipment specifications, programming, on-site startup support, and training.
