Gas turbine components have a finite life span, therefore operators require component replacement on a regular basis.

As decisions have to be made on whether these components are to be replaced by new components (original or reverse engineered) or whether the condition of the component can be restored by a repair or refurbishment procedure. IER offers through its own internal and external resources reverse engineering services.

Due to the high costs associated with purchasing new components, we also offer reverse engineering for gas turbine components. The price difference is often significant and its not just about copying the components and getting round all patent claims which does not necessarily mean that the new components will stand the job! Therefore IER is able via independent experts to pinpoint the relevant bottlenecks which enables us to manage the costs and timetable of the reverse engineering component / process / project and increase the original design and operating life.
