GSE performed inspections for the A1 Test Stand Level 4 & 5 Rolling Platforms. These platforms are used to gain access to the engines during testing and maintenance by rolling on large roller bearings. Loud popping and gridding noises could be heard from the platforms and bearings while in operation, causing concern for the client. GSE performed on-site inspections of the platform’s critical structural components and mechanical systems. GSE provided a report consisting of recommended repairs and cost estimates and GSE’s survey crew performed scans of the area and delivered a 3D model of the platforms for further analysis.
