PWES in Bridgeport, WV has supported the needs of P&WC engine operators for over 35 years. In recognition of PWES’ quality of service it has been designated, by Pratt & Whitney Canada as the "Center of Excellence" for corporate turbofan and turboprop engines.

PWES' senior management anticipates that the fan engine growth will carry the facility through the 21st century.

PWES' strength is built around its people, their highest quality standards and their obsession of delighting customers. Highly technical processes are performed at PWES such as assembling a compressor for a JT15D.

Understanding the responsibility of being an authorized Pratt & Whitney service center creates a work environment that focuses on technical excellence. Engine testing of a JT15D-5A turbo fan within PWES' modern fan test cell ensures installed performance margins.

Customer deadlines and teamwork allow for PWES to make quick turn-time response for aircraft operators. On-wing inspections to engine removals are daily services performed with easy access to the Harrison Marion Regional Airport runway.

Specialized repair capabilities such as intermediate case corrosion repair and compressor stator vane replacement processes are an integral part of the expanding Component Repair Business within PWES. The multi-axis milling machine is one of many cost saving manufacturing objectives to maximize value to the operator.

PWES continues its commitment to the turboprop operator and has reduced it turnaround time to a 29 day average. The challenges of the business brought PWES to extend staffing and redefine the line concept. By expanding its hangar to accommodate more aircraft the corporate operator has more options for fly-in service. A new quick turnaround heavy maintenance line is incorporated within the hangar to provide low cost repair and faster service.

Pratt & Whitney has taken advantage of its "Center of Excellence" strengths in its approach to repair development. Each of its major service centers has specifically targeted repair technologies that effectively leverage its technical expertise, manufacturing capabilities and customer needs.
