Direct supervision and guiding a team of highly skilled engineers to set up a facility for repair & refurbishment of Gas Turbine Critical Components with an aim to develop complete Industrial Gas Turbine Indigenously. Completely developed refurbishment process for blades and vanes from NDT checks, to coating removal to welding of knks & cracks to recoating aging NDT checking and clearing for fitment. Completely developed 1st HP gas turbine bucket from design to finish.

During 7 years stay with BHEL, I worked on initial inductment training followed by setting up of a world class R&D institution in energy sector. Later I worked on creep, fatigue, like damage mechanisms and life estimation projects. Having developed niche in the area. I swiched on material development. Where I developed generator end retaining ring material, wear resistant material for traction motor breaks.
