GE EXPANDS REPAIR SOLUTIONS SINGAPORE CENTER SCOPE

Following GE’s 2019 announcement to invest up to $60 million over 10 years to make its GE Repair Solutions Singapore (GRSS) Center a world leader in power generation technology development, implementation and repairs, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business celebrated the completion of repair and return delivery for the 100th set of Hot Gas Path components—a key module in the HA gas turbine—from GRSS.

GE also announced the enhancement of GRSS’ repairs scope to include HA rotor repair capability, a crucial service that will ensure the long-term reliability and availability of H-class turbines over their full life cycle. Including support from the Singapore Economic Development Board, GE’s commitment aims at strengthening repair capabilities globally—with a specific focus on Asia—with the fastest growing H-Class installed base —where GE can achieve a significant level of self-sufficiency (up to 90%) for the repair of heavy-duty gas turbines and a growing H-Class installed base.




The gas turbine rotor is a core component of a gas turbine of the HA, and over the lifetime of the plant, requires scheduled servicing to keep it in optimum condition. The scope enhancement is part of GE’s global Rotor Life Extension program, which aims to support the overall rotor lifecycle. This, in turn, helps ensure parts last longer and operate more efficiently and effectively by leveraging GE’s knowledge to determine the full residual part life. This capability will also enable greater flexibility across GE’s global repair network, which is servicing a growing installed base of HA gas turbines in Asia and globally. The new capability will help reduce rotor maintenance costs and cycle time with a faster delivery to customers based in Asia, due to simplified logistics and proximity within the region.
