Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of constructing a gas turbine system may include placing a foundation interface of a gas turbine mannequin on a foundation, aligning the gas turbine mannequin with a load and connecting the gas turbine mannequin to the load. The method may include constructing a pipeline and connecting the pipeline to the gas turbine mannequin. The method may include placing a foundation interface of a gas turbine mannequin on a foundation, aligning the gas turbine mannequin with an exhaust structure and connecting the gas turbine mannequin to the exhaust structure. The method also includes removing the gas turbine mannequin and installing a gas turbine.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of constructing a gas turbine system, the method comprising: placing a foundation interface of a gas turbine mannequin on a foundation; aligning the gas turbine mannequin with a load; aligning the gas turbine mannequin with an exhaust structure; connecting the gas turbine mannequin to the load and the exhaust structure; removing the gas turbine mannequin; and installing a gas turbine. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein aligning the gas turbine mannequin includes installing an equipment between the foundation and the foundation interface of the gas turbine mannequin to adjust the location of the gas turbine mannequin relative to the load and the exhaust structure. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein installing the gas turbine comprises placing the foundation interface of the gas turbine on the equipment, whereby the gas turbine is substantially aligned with the load and the exhaust structure. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising fastening the foundation interface of the gas turbine mannequin to a plurality of anchor bolts in the foundation after aligning the gas turbine mannequin. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein aligning the gas turbine mannequin with the load comprises aligning a mock rotor of the gas turbine mannequin with the load. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein aligning the gas turbine mannequin with the exhaust structure comprises aligning an annular frame of the gas turbine mannequin with the exhaust structure. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein installing the gas turbine comprises aligning the gas turbine based on the alignment of the gas turbine mannequin. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the foundation interface comprises placing the foundation interface of a first portion of the gas turbine mannequin on the foundation, the method further comprising placing the foundation interface of a second portion of the gas turbine mannequin on the foundation and connecting the first portion of the gas turbine mannequin to the second portion of the gas turbine mannequin. 9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising constructing a pipeline and connecting the pipeline to one or more blind flanges of the gas turbine mannequin after aligning the gas turbine mannequin with the load and the exhaust structure and prior to removing the gas turbine mannequin.
