Genting Sanyen Power GT12 HGPI Shutdown crew

It's quite interesting when we got the chance to work on an old machine

like this John Brown Engineering FR5 Gas Turbine

which is already more than 30 years old,the mother to all the GE GT in Malaysia.

The job is a Hot Gas Path Inspection (HGPI) with 1st stage buckets(turbine blade) replacement
with crew members from TNB Remaco and Vital Equity Sdn Bhd.

An afternoon at Kidurong Beach

Once upon a time this scenic beach was facing the open sea
until a break water was build sometime ago
and recently reclamation works on the bay started,
soon only a small waterway will be what is left.
