Abstract
A turbine casing alignment tool includes a first section securable to an outer shell of a turbine casing. A second section of the alignment tool is securable to an inner shell of the turbine casing. The alignment tool facilitates adjustment of at least one of the inner shell and the outer shell relative to the other in multiple degrees of freedom to control both co-linearity and concentricity of the outer shell and the inner shell.
