Abstract
A system includes a casing alignment system configured to align an inner wall with an outer wall of a multi-wall casing of a turbomachine having a rotor. The casing alignment system includes a first alignment positioner configured to bias a first lip of the inner wall in a direction of rotation of the rotor disposed within the multi-wall casing. The alignment positioner may include a spring, a fluid-driven alignment positioner, an electric-driven alignment positioner, or a combination thereof. The alignment positioner may be configured to bias the first lip within a first recess adjacent a first flanged coupling between first and second wall sections of the outer wall.
