ESKOM is market-testing the development, qualification and implementation of an approved weld repair procedure for creep-exhausted high-pressure (hp) turbine rotor discs, with the methodology required to be extendable to intermediate-pressure (ip) and low-pressure (LP) rotor discs across the ESKOM fleet. Respondents must cost and schedule three work areas: mock-up work (drafting pre-wpss and qualifying wpqrs and welding operators to iso 15614-1 l2 and iso 14732), an engineering report setting out a technically sound repair methodology, and validation of the procedure through damage assessment, modelling, machining, post-weld heat treatment, non-destructive testing and final inspection. This is a request for information rather than a priced bid, so NO scoring or preference points apply and indicative prices are requested only to establish realistic cost and timeline estimates. The decisive consideration for an sme is demonstrable prior experience in weld repair of creep-exhausted rotor discs, because the response sheet requires project references, disc types, standards applied and details of available specialist personnel.
