Case study: pre-staging hot gas path parts for a Frame 6 outage
How a planned inspection scope was translated into a staged spares list, with part numbers and documentation verified before the outage window opened.
A power producer planning a Frame 6 combustion inspection needed confidence that every hot gas path part would be on site before the unit came offline. The risk was not availability alone: it was matching the exact configuration, revision and documentation to the scope.
The requirement
The operator had a draft inspection scope covering combustion liners, transition pieces, crossfire tubes, seals and selected turbine nozzles. Several part numbers had been superseded, and the site held a mix of original and previously repaired components. The team needed a single verified list before releasing the outage window.
What AGO Aviation did
- Mapped every line item against the site nameplate, drawings and existing repair records.
- Flagged superseded and cross-referenced part numbers before quotation.
- Separated parts that could be supplied immediately from those requiring lead-time confirmation.
- Grouped the list by outage sequence so the crew could stage parts by work package.
- Provided documentation and inspection status for each supplied item.
The outcome
The customer received a staged spares plan that matched the inspection scope, not just a price list. Critical items were reserved early, the remaining lines were scheduled around the outage sequence, and the site avoided the common delay caused by discovering a wrong revision after the unit was already open.
