SAESL’s engine overhaul business is the only facility in the world that can service all current products in the Trent engine family

SAESL has more than 1,000 employees on its three sites located in the shadow of Singapore’s Changi airport

Company’s Vice President of Customer Business and Procurement, Simon Morris. “[In total], SAESL has serviced more than 2,300 engines, supporting more than 26 customers on all continents, and while employing more than 1,000 employees on its three sites located in the shadow of Singapore’s Changi airport.

“With annual revenues of around $2 billion, SAESL is a key contributor to the Singapore aerospace community.”

in numerous accreditations and certifications being awarded, and even more industry firsts being achieved.

“SAESL’s engine overhaul business is the only facility in the world that can service all current products in the Trent engine family,” Morris offers as an example, “and this includes for Trent 500 (Airbus A340), Trent 700 (Airbus A330), Trent 800 (Boeing 777), Trent 900 (Airbus A380), Trent 1000 (Boeing 787 Dreamliner™) and Trent XWB (Airbus A350).

“The engine overhaul business has the capacity to repair and overhaul more than 300 Trent engines a year and it is equipped with a state-of-theart engine test facility.”

An indictment for such proactivity and positivity when it comes to internal growth for the benefit of its customers, is Singapore’s wider attitude to industry as a whole; SAESL having adopted the city-state’s ‘can-do’ attitude amongst its core values.

Can-do attitude

As a result of SAESL’s sustained business growth throughout the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, the Company has continuously been able to reinvest its profits into ongoing facility expansions, service diversifications and general business improvements.

Consequently developing new capabilities for both its engine overhaul and component repair arms, such development has culminated

f you’re in aerospace precision engineering, you need to know them: Professional Engineering Pte Ltd, run

by Managing Director George Yip and Director James Tan. The Company supports the aerospace industry with customised fabrication, automation systems and controls, turnkey projects, and providing engineering supplies.

With George and James’ decades worth of experience in the engineering and aerospace industries, the Company is certified to ISO9001 on year 2011, which is more rigorous than the non-aerospace standard. In addition to this, the Company is currently certified AS9IOO aerospace standard as well.

SAESL is thriving virtue of the induction of the Trent 1000 and Trent XWB engines into its repertoire

again over the next five years, from 200 engines to 400 engines a year; a trajectory that is set to be influenced in large-part in 2017 with an initial rise to 270.

Simultaneously, and virtue of this trend; engine load, and component materials and design will result in the component repair side of the business tripling over the same period.

A key driver behind the forecast revolves primarily around the aforementioned induction of the Trent 1000 and Trent XWB engine types into SAESL’s repertoire, compounded by an-ever increasing and diversifying portfolio of customers, as Morris explains.

“The customer mix is changing rapidly. Two years ago, we mainly serviced operators in the AsiaPacific region, but recently we have expanded to take on customers on all six continents,” he details. “This has included two North American

The customer mix is changing rapidly. Two years ago, we mainly serviced operators in the AsiaPacific region, but recently we have expanded to take on customers on all six continents

Since formation in 2011, the Company has worked with technological institutions and companies within the aerospace industry, such as Singapore Aero Engine Services Private Limited (SAESL), supporting research and development.

A key goal for the Company is to ensure that all staff is kept up-to-date with the changing industry landscape in terms of on-the-job training, both in-house and off-site.

The Company’s vision is to be the leading engineering support vendor in their field of specialty through continuous product and process improvement with key customers.

customers (Delta and American Airlines); South American customers (Avianca and LATAM); African customers (Ethiopian Airlines); and a growing number of European customers.

“This is in addition to growing and new customers in the Asia-Pacific region; the number of airlines currently standing at 26 around the world but still growing. This is attributed to our dominance on Trent 1000 support, Rolls-Royce engine sales successes, and the de-regionalisation of the Rolls-Royce network to create more competition and choice for customers.”

Centre of excellence

And with each new customer and new engine type, SAESL strives to also find new innovations, new processes and new expertise to keep itself of the industry curve, and to ensure that it remains the partner of choice in such a technically complex industry.

“A range of new component types introduced in the latest generation engines will require new advanced repair techniques, including additive layer manufacturing, and SAESL is positioning itself to create a centre of excellence in Singapore to work on this early development with the ARTC (Advanced Remanufacturing Technology Centre),” Morris notes.“ARTC is a platform built upon strong partnerships across the supply chain, complemented by technical support from research institutes and academia.

“As the first Centre in Asia within the network of Advanced Research Centres (known as AxRCs), ARTC is headed by a capable core team.

With a purpose built facility, ARTC is underpinned by world-class research expertise at A*STAR and NTU to rapidly create solutions and bring these technologies into industrial production capabilities to the benefit of all its stakeholders.”

WORKFORCE STRENGTH “SAESL employs a workforce of over 1,000 highly skilled people with technical expertise and Trent engine knowledge.

“Our state-of-the-art working environment provides employees with access to the most advanced MRO techniques and training to support the growing Rolls-Royce Trent engine fleet.

“This includes new engine types including the Trent 1000 which powers the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Trent XWB which powers the Airbus A350 XWB.” - SAESL

Joining the ARTC as a Tier 1 member in 2015, SAESL has since collaborated on new additive layer manufacturing techniques that will contribute greatly to the advanced design of its engines and components in future generations; a partnership enthusiastically lauded by Rolls-Royce who - thanks to an extensive repair development roadmap with SAESL will see the introduction of at least four new commodities into its portfolio as a consequence of such commitment to innovation.

“SAESL employs a workforce of more than 900 highly-skilled people with technical expertise and Trent engine knowledge. The new stateof-the-art working environment will provide employees with access to the most advanced MRO techniques and training to prepare for new engine types, including the Trent 1000 which powers the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Trent XWB which powers the Airbus A350,” a Company release emphasised.

QUALITY AND SAFETY “Quality and safety are primary considerations for all operations undertaken by SAESL at all times.

Evident by our Airworthiness approvals and other certifications attained, the integrity of our customers’ engines and components are of the highest priority. To this end, we have established Quality and Safety Management Systems that ensure that our customers’ needs are fully met, while complying with all regulatory and legal requirements.

“SAESL has established a culture of quality and safety that is embraced by all our employees, from the top management down to our competent workforce.

This culture is nurtured through various training and awareness programmes, fostering an atmosphere of open reporting and prompt feedback between the leadership and the team, who form the backbone of SAESL’s core competencies.” - SAESL

Component repair

Since being embraced into the SAESL family, its component repair strand has become a significant contributor to the Company’s own vertical integration ambitions and, thus, to the overall quality of products distributed to the global market.

In supporting in-house and global component repair demand, the division has the capability to repair more than 85 percent of the engine, including five accredited centres of excellence for fan blades, compressor blades, nozzle guide vanes, compressor stator vanes, and front combustion liners.

And in 2016, the Company compounded this market-leading strength even more concertedly via an amalgamation with International Engine Component Overhaul Pte Ltd (IECO); a world-class component repair Company based in Singapore and a readymade perfect fit when it came to a strategic merger for SAESL.

“Secondly, the highest cost of an engine refurbishment is the replacement of new parts, so in order to reduce costs for airlines, there is a need to develop more repairs that can extend the life of the parts and restore them to original design intent; improving engine performance and efficiencies through the life of the engine (which can be more than 25 years).

“Thirdly, new generation components include more complex materials, geometry and higher tolerances, which calls for MRO facilities to develop more technologically challenging repair techniques.”

Working with our dedicated account manager and customer service team, we provide our customers with detailed analysis of their energy consumption and an energy plan that meets business objectives.

Enhanced processes tailored to specific applications

“New manufacturing techniques are already on the journey away from castings, joining and material reduction methods to additive, printing and forming processes. With these techniques the MRO world will have to undoubtedly follow as the new parts become more complex.”

To this end, SAESL is already beginning its journey courtesy of additive layer manufacturing developments where it is working alongside Rolls-Royce and ARTC to learn about such processes for specific applications.

“We expect this to be followed by repair requirements for more advanced materials such as composites and CMC (Ceramic Matrix Composites),” Morris adds.

Continuing along the technology theme, automation has also been earmarked as a pressing contributor to the success of component repair; breaking the norm slightly, where its adoption had previously been limited in MRO domains.

“Bespoke by its nature where a repair may vary in length, depth and geometry, autonomy has historically struggled to justify itself from an investment point of view,” Morris explains. “However, the demands and ingredients have both changed to

set the right environment for this to quickly progress.

“The demand now calls for more complex geometries, materials and higher quality specifications which require precision machines as well as the growing cost rate of human capita around the world. This all means that the newer adaptive automation can now more easily cope with MRO variation and very soon - with machine vision sensoring and AI (Artificial Intelligence) - these machines will be able to cope with complex repair

decisions that highly experienced technicians accumulate over years of learning.”

Automation isn’t the only technological method emanating its way into the MRO consciousness either, with processes such as RFID tracking becoming an equally useful tool when it comes to managing unit traceability and production planning in the supply chain. Similarly, autonomous vehicles are also being explored as an area of interest for SAESL in the years to come as it looks

“The final investment possibility concerns our buildings, with any future buildings needing to address the sustainability requirements of the business and the community in which it resides,” Morris concludes. “And across all of these parameters, the technologies and hardware will continue to be supported by SAESL’s two core foundations: its data and its people.”
