VENTANA Success Story : V-Solutions contribute to the success of General Electric’s 9HA turbine, the most powerful gas turbine in the world

Approached by General Electric in 2011 during the turbine’s design phase, VENTANA was selected for its ability to propose expert sheet metal work and precision machining solutions and was entrusted with the industrialisation and manufacturing of a 16-part cooling kit for the 9HA turbine.

During the development phase, which lasted over a year, sheet metal work, welding, machining and non-destructive testing experts based at a number of VENTANA plants lent their expertise to American and Belfort-born designers at General Electric. The first kit produced using the VENTANA V-Weldmill industrial solution was delivered in November 2012. VENTANA delivered its 7th kit this September and has plans to triple its production in 2017.
