FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TGM Performs Major Maintenance Project at Covanta Mid-Connecticut, Inc.
July 13, 2006
Cape Coral, Florida – In January of 2006, Turbine Generator Maintenance, Inc. (TGM) completed a major overhaul on the 45MW GE steam turbine generator set at Covanta Mid-Connecticut, Inc.’s South Meadows Station (which is owned by the Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority and operated by Covanta). This was a contract maintenance project in which TGM provided management and technical responsibility, as well as labor, supervision, and tooling for the inspection of the high pressure turbine, low pressure turbine, generator, valve inspections and miscellaneous steam and oil inspections. The job was completed in twenty days on two twelve hour shifts.
Prior to and during the outage, project review meetings were conducted by TGM staff both internally and with Covanta Mid-Connecticut personnel in order to properly address all outage logistics, contingency items and other concerns. These meetings proved to be invaluable in identifying areas that could affect outage performance and in facilitating prompt decision-making regarding recommended repairs.
The facility’s Plant Manager, Paul Sibiga, stated “The unit is now running better than it ever has...TGM’s Team was responsive to all needs. It made my job easier knowing that I did not have to worry about what was going on with the turbine generator. An overall wonderful experience. I look forward to the next one.”
Dan Hoffman, TGM’s Vice President of Sales, stated, “Our long standing relationship with Covanta, on both the corporate and the plant level, facilitated the type of communication that makes an outage a true success. As we develop relationships with customers such as Covanta, it gives our customers the freedom to leave the turbine generator set in our care, subsequently allowing them to place their focus on other aspects of a plant outage and on the overall integration of multiple projects.”
