What we were asked to solve
The unit had to be back on the plant before a fixed shutdown window closed. Missing the date meant waiting for the following cycle, so the turnaround commitment mattered as much as the rebuild itself.
How we did it
The engine was stripped completely on arrival and measured against OEM service limits before anything was ordered. The strip report and a line-by-line parts schedule were issued within two days, so the client approved a scope built on measurement rather than assumption.
Machining went through the engineering houses in the Middelburg corridor and parts were drawn from OEM channels within the same district, which is what made the schedule achievable. Assembly proceeded to a build sheet with torque, clearance and end-float recorded at every critical joint, and the unit was run, timed and load-checked before release.
What changed
The engine was delivered nine days before the window closed, with the strip report, parts schedule, build sheet and run sheet handed over as a set for the client's asset file.
