Work on the highest-value single order ever handled by ERIKS UK is due to be finalised in the next few months. Installation and commissioning of a turbine balancing vacuum chamber, for a main service provider to the power generation industry, will complete the major project. The challenges – and the asset – are huge but ERIKS’ engineering know-how has helped deliver a solution that will turbo-charge turbine testing for the customer.
The Newcastle-based customers has been operating a turbine balancing vacuum chamber for several decades, and as it nears the end of its service life, ERIKS has been supporting it with complex upgrades to increasingly obsolete equipment.
Future-proof solution
Having been involved in maintaining the asset and upgrading components for many years, ERIKS was tasked with designing, engineering, installing and commissioning a complete future-proof solution with a minimum 20-year lifespan.

- 6MW High Voltage AC motor, drive and switchgear
- Custom-designed and manufactured gearbox
- Driveline (shaft and bearings)

With expertise, experience and engineering resources and partners in all these areas, plus High Voltage installation know-how, ERIKS is ideally equipped to carry out the whole project, and ensure the asset’s successful operation for many years to come.
