A method of installing a turbine assembly is provided. The method includes assembling a support member for supporting a turbine assembly during installation. The support member includes a platform having a plurality of modular platform components oriented to define an upper surface of the platform. The method also includes positioning a linear actuator on the upper surface of the platform. The method further includes positioning a column on the linear actuator. The method includes lifting the turbine assembly onto the column. The platform, the linear actuator, and the column are sized to support the turbine assembly.

A block assembly for locking a toothed gear housed in a frame includes a body shaped to couple to a portion of the frame adjacent to the gear for translation in a first direction parallel to an axis of the gear, and a locking block coupled to the body that includes at least one locking tooth shaped complementary to at least one gear tooth of the gear. The block assembly further includes an adjustment mechanism operable, when the body is coupled to the frame, to move the locking block in a second direction that is substantially orthogonal the axis of the gear, such that at least one locking tooth is received between a circumferentially spaced pair of the gear teeth to prevent movement of the toothed gear.

A staking tool is disclosed. The staking tool may include a main body, at least one punch disposed within the main body, and an actuator in mechanical communication with the at least one punch. The actuator may be configured to drive the at least one punch from a first position to a second position.

Staking tool

Various embodiments include apparatuses for performing maintenance on a gas turbine (GT) combustion can, along with related methods. One apparatus can include: a mounting plate having at least two fasteners extending therethrough, the mounting plate configured to engage a fixed combustion chamber in the GT; a can adjustment bar configured to engage the can combustor, the can adjustment bar including a set of apertures extending therethrough; a set of guide pins extending through the set of apertures in the can adjustment bar and coupled with the mounting plate, the set of guide pins connecting the mounting plate with the can adjustment bar; and an adjustment member extending between the can adjustment bar and the mounting plate, the adjustment member configured to modify a position of the can adjustment bar relative to the mounting plate.

Combustion can maintenance apparatus and method

An apparatus and method for servicing a combustion liner in a combustion case of a turbine is provided. The apparatus includes an elongated bar having a handle at one end and a force applying member at an opposing end of the elongated bar. An attachment member is configured for attachment to a flange of the combustion case. The attachment member is also configured for pivotal attachment to the elongated bar. The apparatus is configured to apply a radially outward force on a downstream portion of the combustion liner when a radially inward force is applied to the handle.

Method and apparatus for servicing combustion liners

A tool measures relative concentricity deviations in a confined space between two circumferential elements, such as a turbine rotor and a turbine diaphragm. The tool includes a housing, and a sensor coupled with the housing that measures a distance from the housing to one of the two circumferential elements. An axial spring plunger is connected to the housing, and a radial spring plunger is connected to the housing and arranged orthogonal to the axial spring plunger. The tool also includes a sliding or rolling surface on a side of the housing opposite from one of the axial spring plunger and the radial spring plunger.
