Abstract
A support member for supporting a turbine assembly during installation includes a platform having a plurality of modular platform components oriented to define an upper surface of the platform. The support member also includes a linear actuator selectively positionable on the upper surface of the platform. The support member further includes a column selectively positionable on the linear actuator. The platform, the linear actuator, and the column are sized to support the turbine assembly.
Claims19
A support member for supporting a turbine assembly during installation, said support member comprising:
- a platform comprising a plurality of modular platform components, wherein each of said plurality of modular platform components comprises an upper plate comprising a plate upper surface, said upper plates are oriented to collectively define an upper surface of said platform;
- a linear actuator selectively seated at a selected location from among a plurality of locations on said upper surface of said platform;
- and
- a column selectively positionable on said linear actuator, wherein said platform, said linear actuator, and said column are sized to support the turbine assembly.
A support system for supporting a turbine assembly during installation, said support system comprising:
- a pair of first support members;
- and
- a second support member, wherein said pair of first support members are selectively positionable relative to said second support member in a triangular arrangement, said second support member comprising a platform, a linear actuator selectively seated on said platform, and a column selectively positionable on said linear actuator, wherein said platform, said linear actuator, and said column are sized to support said turbine assembly;
- wherein said platform comprises a plurality of modular platform components, each of said modular platform components comprising an upper plate comprising a plate upper surface, said upper plates are oriented to collectively define an upper surface of said platform as a coplanar arrangement of said plate upper surfaces.
