release IAC AVIATION PROVIDES TURNKEY TURBOJET TEST FACILITY FOR H+S AVIATION
The complete post-overhaul and post-repair engine testing facility has full acoustic treatment to protect the local community from noise pollution. The project included a thrust stand, all-facility and engine control and instrumentation, and an automatic data acquisition suite. The full range of support services include fuel systems, fire suppression, compressed air supplies, and CCTV, and a data link into PWC data reduction software that delivers full engine performance analysis. The contract, awarded at Christmas 2004, will have taken just 10 months to complete for the end of October this year. H+S Aviation offers extensive maintenance repair and overhaul services on a variety of powerplants for corporate, civil, and military applications from its facilities in Portsmouth, UK. H+S Aviation is acknowledged as one of the world's leading independent repair and overhaul organisations handling small to medium-sized turbine engines, processing more than 800 repair and overhaul engine workscopes per year. With over 50 years’ experience, H+S provides fully OEM-authorised services on General Electric CT7 and T700, Rolls-Royce Dart and Model 250 turboprop/turboshaft engines, Honeywell 36-100/150, 331-200/250, and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW901 APUs and JT15D turbofan engines. Kurt Buehler is Operations Director with H+S Aviation: "This new cell stands out among our five test cells in Portsmouth due to the completeness of IAC's service and implementation. Our proximity to local housing means that noise and environmental considerations are critical to successful operations. We are delighted with the overall results and are able to scheduling an extension of our testing hours and respond better to our customers’ needs for timely project completion. "The new cell provides us with an efficient tool for testing thrust engines and has been designed with the consideration of quickly adding new, higher power products in the future." IAC Aviation has now been commissioned to upgrade the company's fire suppression and fuel supply systems for H+S’ existing test cells. Claire Fawlk, Sales Manager at IAC Aviation said: "This project has proved to be one that really shows our capabilities to the full as a turnkey solution provider. Our ability to provide in-service support, maintenance and calibration for all H+S facilities is clearly an additional attraction. We hope for a mutually fruitful relationship in the longer term."
