The scope included expansionjoints, transitions, silencers, stacks, appearance siding,new ladders and platforms, as well as demolition andinstallation for each system. Universal offered a systemdesign that enhanced the acoustic design while improvingthe system longevity and maintaining system pressure lossperformance.A compressed project timeline required fabrication andinstallation of the equipment by July 1, 2012, so PugetSound Energy could be generating revenue. The turbinescould not be taken out of service until early May, requiringa highly coordinated effort of equipment production,logistics, demolition, and installation.Recommendation“Randy’s team at Universal won the bid to build our WD 501D5exhaust systems. Randy was the project manager. It was apleasure to work with him. He was extremely responsive (viaemail, site visits, conference calls), and very accountable. Hiscommitment to getting the job done right, safely, on time andon schedule, made this multimillion-dollar project proceedseamlessly. Thanks, Randy!”Service Category: Project ManagerYear first hired: 2011Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, On Time– Deepa Narayanan, PEUniversal AET designed and manufactured this exhaust system for aWestinghouse 501D5 gas turbine.
