Overview: When international energy company Alstom Power performed a survey of the existing stator frame on the second of the generators, during Meridian Energy's overhaul of the seven 105 MW generators at Manapouri Power Station on the South Island, New Zealand. It was discovered that the support surface was not flat, and was more than 6 mm out of true. This would have made leveling the stator core difficult. Furmanite, already known to Alstom Power, was called in on the basis of its extensive experience and high-tech equipment, to machine the surface flat. The work was carried out using unique and highly sophisticated circular self-leveling milling (CSLM) technology, developed by Furmanite.
