PAL Engineering offers a cadre of GE-trained field service and factory engineers, who collectively have over 400 years of turbine experience to meet your service needs. We believe that PAL offers the power generation industry unparalleled depth and breadth of gas and steam turbine technical expertise. Most of our knowledge and field experience came during our GE years, as well as elsewhere in the industry during the twentieth century, to the benefit of clients in the twenty-first.
If
you have never used our services, you still may have heard
of us: Charlie
Pond and Dave
Lucier. Together we have over sixty years of experience
working on GE gas turbines. During our GE days, we wore many
hats:
senior field engineer, area engineer, manager of field services
and lead technical advisors. We trained over 1000 field engineers
at the Field Engineering Development Center. Dave managed
the Field Engineering Program (FEP, 1980-83), as well as
being a lead technical trainer in Fuel Regulator and Speedtronic™ control
systems for six years. Charlie was a lead training specialist
on gas turbine maintenance and installations at the Center.
Chances are field engineers who have provided services for
you in the past are graduates of the FEP during our tenure.
Furthermore, since leaving GE, we've taught over 180 on-site
training schools and multi-client seminars, in addition to
our main responsibilities as gas turbine field engineers.
In
recent years, several ex-GE factory and field engineers have
joined the PAL team. Thus, we have been able to broaden
our services into steam turbine and generator field engineering.
Please refer to the home page tab called qualifications to
see some of the faces and profiles of our expert staff. They
are all recognized experts.
Mechanical
and electrical field engineering services on GE gas and steam turbines
are PAL specialties. Since forming our partnership in 1999, we have been providing
field
engineering services and expert technical support on overhauls and installations.
Because our team has the know-how and our overhead is low, we can keep our
rates very competitive. Our reaction time is designed to be immediate, particularly
when an unforeseen outage takes you down. We are proud of our reputation throughout
the power industry. Ask our other valued clients about us.
PAL also offers other
services: fuel and control system upgrades, consultations on bid specifications,
insurance investigations, root cause failure analysis,
borescope inspections and interpretation of OEM conversions, modifications
and upgrades (CMU).
One more thing: When you hire PAL, you get
the expertise of us all!
No one in the industry has better
intra-company communications. We work together to try to
solve your field problems. Call
