I work in a factory that manufactures and builds various types of metal Towers used for transmitting low and medium voltage electricity across the country of Lebanon. I acquired excellent experience of operating and dealing with several metal fabrication machines I had hands on experience of almost all stages that metal go through including:
• Metal grinding process
• Metal welding Using electrode welding machine
• Metal cutting using hydraulic cutting machines
• Metal loads lifting and transporting using overhead cranes
• Metal bending using hydraulic bending machine

Zihrani power plant is one of the only two power plants for supplying the electric power across lebanon and those plants undergoes a routine maintenance every 5 year. I had the opportunity to participate with GPG company “General Power Generation “which is a Lebanese contracting company to help “ SIEMENS “ which provided Lebanon with the gas turbine located in “ZIHRANI POWER PLANT“ so they sent us a German crew from the company of “ SIEMENS ” to perform the gas turbine maintenance. I participated in all the stages including the required safety precautions and then disassemble of the gas turbine and transporting it to the required site to perform the necessary inspection and the required tests need to be done and then assembling it back again to make it ready to operate and establish power generation.
