For over a decade, Power Plant Services has serviced (disassemble, repair and assemble) turbine valve assemblies for more than 60 power plants.

We have extensive experience with valve assemblies for stations ranging from 50mw to 900mw turbines of various brands, such as GE, Westinghouse, Allis, etc.


PPS has more than 100 years of cumulative managerial turbine valve experience and an equally trained work force, extensively experienced in the turbine valve repair craft.

We are a completely integrated valve maintenance facility, which includes the following capabilities:

Inventories of strategic materials (422 SS, Nitralloy, Inconel, B16, 1-1/4 Chrome-moly-vanadium bars and forgings, austenitic stainless steels, etc.)
Parts identification capabilities with the ability to reverse engineer.
Necessary CNC and manual machine tools, with highly skilled machinists available on a 24/7 schedule.
Manufacturing & repair in the same facility reduces the leadtime and cost.
Dedicated project engineers on each project, responsible for in-process coordination with the customer.

    Advantage of outsourcing valve maintenance:

Outsourcing of valve assembly, evaluation and repair scope allows Utility Maintenance Departments to use their key and limited personnel on tasks other than valves; thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the available manpower.

Repair projects that are performed off-site in an experienced turbine machine shop has better control of the quality aspects of the repair scope.

A valve evaluation and repair, that is treated as a “precision machining task” and carried out as such, will give the customer a higher probability of minimizing forced outages and enable the plant to maximize expected valve performance intervals.
