Siemens Power Generation Services is continuing to bring services closer to its customers in Thailand with the establishment of a new Service Center. Planned to be fully operational early next year, the newest Siemens service centre, located in Rayong province, is coming close to completion.
The 1200-square-metre facility will serve as a combined Repair Center and Warehouse providing Siemens’ gas turbine-, compressor-, and industrial-steam turbine customers with full support for maintenance activities. It will also include inventory of tooling, instrumentation and spare parts that are required to execute regular maintenance activities for all the SGT-800s installed in Thailand.
“There are currently 72 units of SGT-800 gas turbine in Thailand, which is one of the largest SGT-800 fleets in the world,” remarked Mr. Thorbjoern Fors, CEO of Siemens Power Generation Services, Distributed Generation and O&G, as he visited the construction site of the newest facility.
“We selected Rayong as our service centre for all the SGT-800s in Thailand to show our commitment to our customers.”
“This is about showing our customers that we care by localising more of our capabilities and bringing the service even closer to them,” he continued.
“It’s all about giving our customers world class service support that they can absolutely count on and trust.”
Siemens Power Generation Services offers comprehensive services for complete power plants, gas turbines, steam turbines, generators and compressors. These services utilise advanced plant diagnostics and systems engineering to improve efficiency, reduce emissions and maintain reliability. Siemens’ superior services ensure high-reliability and efficient performance.
The SGT-800 has been developed continuously over the past 20 years. The introductory rating of the first SGT-800s was 43 MW. Over the years, the power rating has increased to 57MW. This has been achieved through numerous up-ratings with average output increases of 2MW and related efficiency increases. Each step taken is based on operational experience gained from previous generations while implementing the latest technologies and materials.
