A gas turbine engine (10) is provided with rigid raft assemblies (290), which may be electrical harness raft assemblies (290) comprising electrical conductors embedded in a rigid composite material. The rigid raft assemblies (290) can be provided with engine dressings, such as pipework and ECUs to produce an electrical raft assembly. In order to assemble or dress the gas turbine engine (10), the rigid raft assemblies can be pre-prepared to incorporate at least a part of at least one gas turbine engine system/component before being installed on the gas turbine engine (10). During maintenance, whole raft assemblies can be removed and replaced with corresponding, pre-prepared assemblies. This can save considerable time during engine build and maintenance.
