Unique Solutions to Demanding Jobs

By partnering with IPM, the client was able to pursue – and was awarded – a large contract to make hook fit and seal modifications on a total of 29 HP, IP, and LP steam turbine diaphragms ranging in size from 050″ to 086″ I.D. The client’s current capacity would not have allowed them to perform this work in the timeframe required. With IPM experienced machinists and equipment, the work was completed to the required strict technical and scheduling requirements. The customer was able to maintain their own quality system surveillance during the machining of these components – which would have been more difficult if they had been sent to an outside vendor.
