  • Publication number: 20230043395
    Abstract: A combustion cylinder mounting method, wherein a preparation step, a first contact maintenance step, a second contact maintenance step, and a combustion cylinder fixing step are executed. In the preparation step, a combustion cylinder mounting jig equipped with a spacer portion capable of maintaining a predetermined spacing between a first combustion cylinder and a second combustion cylinder adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction is prepared. In the first contact maintenance step, the spacer portion is brought into contact with the first combustion cylinder attached to the stationary portion of a casing. In the second contact maintenance step, the second combustion cylinder is brought into contact with the spacer portion. In the combustion cylinder fixing step, the second combustion cylinder is attached to the stationary portion while the first combustion cylinder and the second combustion cylinder are in contact with the spacer portion.

  • Publication number: 20220383233
    Abstract: A work support system gives work support by using a work schedule which is created by dividing support target work into a plurality of division tasks and distributing a worker unit. The present system includes an interruption information acquisition part for acquiring interruption information, and a work schedule modification part for modifying the work schedule if the interruption information is acquired. The work schedule is modified by redistributing, to the division task started after the interruption event, the remaining worker unit excluding the worker unit distributed to the division task in which the interruption event occurs.

  • Publication number: 20220373183
    Abstract: In this method for mounting a combustor component, a component hanging step for attaching a string material to a hanging jig mounted on a combustor component and hanging the combustor component with the string material together with the hanging jig, and a component mounting step for mounting a mounting flange of the combustor component at a combustor mounting position of a gas turbine casing are executed. The hanging jig has a hanging tool having a portion which becomes a suspension point contacted by the string material when the string material is attached and hanging the combustor component. The suspension point is positioned on the distal end side of the center of gravity of the combustor component in the combustor axial line direction when the hanging jig has been mounted to the mounting flange.
