Abstract
A casing for a turbo-machine at least partially defines a flow path for a working fluid through or around one or more of a compressor section, a combustor assembly, or a turbine section. The casing defines an inner surface and the inner surface defines a plurality of debris routing channels. The plurality of debris routing channels are configured to route debris in a working fluid within the casing towards a debris collection mechanism.
