Abstract
A method for assembling at least one seal assembly to a turbine having a casing extending at least partially around a rotor is provided. The method includes coupling the seal assembly to the casing such that the seal assembly extends into a fluid flow passage defined between the rotor and the casing and coupling at least one spring between the seal assembly and the casing to bias each seal assembly.
