Onyx InSight was chosen by Dongkuk S&C to replace one of the three main bearings at its Shinan project in South Korea. The project involves a turbine model largely unique in South Korea, with only three others in operation in the country.
On this particular turbine an abnormal sound and vibration was initially detected by a Dongkuk service engineer. After the detection of this condition, Onyx was requested to conduct a full site inspection. As a result of the inspection, Onyx recommended Dongkuk stop operations on the faulty turbine and replace the main bearing to avoid a potentially catastrophic failure.
