The latest expansion adds advanced technology repair equipment for B and E-class gas turbine blades, which are said to be key components impacting the efficiency of the machines. As part of the expansion, the size of the workforce at the repair service center has doubled to nearly 100 people, GE said.
Ahmed Moosa, ADAT’s executive vice president of industrial business and chairman of GTS, said: “The expansion of the GTS facility supports our strategy to provide world-class turnaround times for our regional municipal, utility and industrial customers, including faster turnaround times on repair projects and faster delivery of repaired components.
“It reflects our vision for continued leadership and success in the rapidly growing Middle Eastern and global maintenance, repair and overhaul sectors.”
The 4,200sqmt GTS facility, located in the Mussafah Industrial Area in Abu Dhabi, offers repairs for gas turbine components including power nozzles, fuel nozzles, combustion liners, transition pieces and rotors. The range of machines serviced by GTS includes GE Frame 9, 7, 6 and 5 heavy-duty gas turbines.
