RB199 test facility exhaust stack replaced against the clock

IAC Aviation has recently successfully completed the replacement of the total exhaust stack of one of NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency’s RB199 engine test facilities. This NETMA facility is located at a RAF base in the UK.

The timeframe of the project was extremely demanding as was the need for minimal downtime once work commenced at the facility. IAC Aviation was able to meet these criteria by optimising the work share between its own UK manufacturing facilities and a well established Eastern European manufacturer who had previously demonstrated high-level engineering expertise within other parts of the IAC group of companies.

Nigel Spencer, In Service Support Manager at IAC Aviation said: “UK gave us a significant challenge to respond quickly and limit down time to the absolute minimum. By maximising the opportunities within our manufacturing base we were able to ensure customer satisfaction and deliver a high quality product within the tight time window. It’s at times like these that our wider group connections really bring benefits.”
