A method for laterally moving an industrial machine, such as a single shaft combined cycle system which includes a generator 12, a gas turbine (14, fig 1) and a steam turbine (16). The method comprises supporting the industrial machine on a pair of rail elements 104,106 configured to be positioned laterally below and support the industrial machine. The rail elements 104,106 allow the industrial machine to be moved laterally from a first operative position to a second, maintenance position. A pair of linear actuators 130,132 are coupled to a respective rail element 104, 106 and operate to laterally move the industrial machine from the first, operative position to the second, maintenance position. The rail elements 104, 106 may comprise segmented support rails 120, 124 and may interact with skids 110, 114 which are coupled to an underside of the industrial machine. Climbing jacks (200) can be used to lift the industrial machine above first and second machine foundations122. |
