Preservation and Storage of a 276 MW Toshiba Steam Turbine Plant
Sterling Energy was engaged in 2010 to manage the receiving, transport, storage and preservation of a 276 MW steam turbine shipped from Japan. The equipment includes HP and LP turbine sections, unassembled generator and rotor, oil tank, transformer and ancillary equipment. The equipment is being stored in two, large climate-controlled enclosures for an expected term of two years. Sterling Energy developed and is currently managing all aspects of the preservation program.
.
Preservation of Two 550 MW GE Combined Cycle Equipment Packages
Sterling Energy is currently managing the long-term storage and preservation program it developed for all equipment associated with two proposed 550 MW GE combined cycle plants. Sterling developed the preservation program, negotiated and managed the lifting and warehouse contracts, received all equipment, and implemented the current program. The equipment includes four gas turbines, two steam turbines, six generators, piping, control modules, structural steel, and balance of plant equipment. The preservation program includes humidity control enclosures in a 124,000 square foot warehouse and special tarps covering equipment in a three-acre outdoor storage area.

Preservation of Two Alstom HRSGs and Balance of Plant Equipment
Sterling Energy successfully completed the management of the program it developed for the long-term storage and preservation of two separate Alstom heat recovery steam generator packages and associated balance of plant equipment.
.
Preservation of a 500 MW Siemens Combined Cycle Equipment Package
Sterling Energy developed, implemented, and managed the long-term storage and preservation program for a 500 MW Siemens equipment package. The equipment included two gas turbines, a steam turbine, two generators, HRSG tube bundles and panels, and balance of plant piping, control modules, and structural steel. The preservation facilities included a large warehouse with humidity control enclosures and a large outdoor area wherein equipment was protected with special tarps.
.
Preservation of Three Partially Completed Combined Cycle Plants (2,500 MW)
Sterling Energy developed and assisted in the implementation of the long-term storage and preservation of three partially constructed combined cycle plants totaling 2,500 MW and located at three different sites in the western U.S. The equipment included eight gas turbines, four steam turbines, eight generators, eight HRSGs or HRSG components, and balance of plant equipment.
.
Preservation of a 386 MW Steam Turbine and HRSG Equipment Package
Sterling Energy took over the management of an existing long-term storage and preservation program for 386 MW steam plant package. The equipment includes a steam turbine, a generator, and HRSG modules, steam drums, and associated piping. Sterling took inventory and conducted a condition assessment, repaired damaged or corroded surfaces, and re-preserved certain components. Sterling is currently managing the preservation program.
.
Take-over, Relocation, Preservation of an 80 MW Gas Turbine Package
Sterling Energy took over the management of an existing long-term preservation program for an 80 MW GE 7FA gas turbine and related equipment and relocated the equipment from the U.S. to Canada. Sterling’s scope included the inventory and assessment of the equipment in the U.S., repairs to damaged equipment, preparation for shipment, heavy haul permitting, management of loading and unloading at each end of the trip, and re-preservation and dehumidification of the equipment at the plant construction site to ensure compliance with GE’s preservation requirements.
