Refurbishment of Facilities


 
Engine test facilities may require refurbishment or upgrading for a variety of reasons :

Obsolescence of the control and instrumentation systems
Imposition of more rigorous environmental noise and vibration standards
Fatigue failure of the exhaust system, noise control structures or other key components
Obsolescence of the engines for which the facility was designed
Advent of more powerful engines outstripping the capacity of the facility systems
The scope and timing of a refurbishment programme requires careful consideration :

Some parts of a facility will need to be replaced, but others might continue to be serviceable, given an overhaul or an appropriate upgrade.
The work may have to be scheduled around existing test facility commitments.

Exign Technology has extensive knowledge of engine test cells and can apply this experience to provide cost-effective solutions to a wide range of requirements from individual system refurbishment to the upgrade of a whole facilities.
