In this episode of the TurboTime podcast, Megan Raines, Global Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Leader at FieldCore - part of GE Vernova, joins the show. The company is a field services provider focused on the energy industry. This sector is constantly evolving and requires the right partnerships to achieve optimized site results. FieldCore deals directly with operations related to the maintenance and installation of heavy-/regular-duty gas turbines, aeroderivatives, nuclear power, hydro, wind, and more.

In the video, we cover a variety of topics ranging from the company's working philosophy, the importance of EHS when working with turbomachinery, and the unseen humanitarian necessities of the energy industry to best practices for ensuring EHS compliance at job sites.

She discusses the importance of maintaining consistent communication channels between contractors and suppliers. Keeping everyone at the table on the same page is key to getting things done right. On top of that, maintaining standardized procedures across a globally scaled operation takes specialized expertise and industry know-how, some of which Raines is happy to depart to us.

A Q&A article about FieldCore is planned for a future print edition of Turbomachinery International.
