I am looking for companies who provide generator cleaning services. The lower end turns on one of our pumped-storage units were contaminated by turbine oil mist when our mist extraction fan failed several years back. The oil has since collected brake dust, metals, and some asbestos fibers. We would like to clean the windings and field poles along with a general wipe down of accessible surfaces when we have the rotor pulled this spring for winding tests. Due to the presence of asbestos fibers this job will require containment and proper industrial hygiene. If you have prior experience with a cleaning contractor or are a cleaning contractor please post a URL to the company.

Thank you,
