ABOUT TRANSCANADA TURBINES

TransCanada Turbines (TCT) is the sole authorized overhaul, repair, and maintenance service provider for both Siemens Energy and General Electric (GE) aeroderivative industrial gas turbines, serving an expanding international client base.

This commitment to our people and our values was recently on full display when the entire global TCT team came together in Airdrie for a week-long, all-company learning event.
