Valve Replacement

  • Actual valve thickness was 25% higher than specified in customer drawings, impacting pre-machined tools for cutting and beveling.
  • Execution in a structurally complex environment in view of poor joint access.
  • Adaptive Machining: Innovative tool modifications to accommodate thickness variation.
  • Structural Adjustments: Temporary support and spool locking arrangements to facilitate easy access for execution.
Despite unforeseen challenges, the project was successfully completed within the timeline by adapting innovative tools and modifying structures.
