Year 2019 news
We commissioned 8 new gas turbine generators and did work in Australia, Belarus, Italy, Poland, Tunisia, UAE and the UK. We completed more G59 witnessed testing this year, for embedded generation, than ever before. This is only set to increase with National Grid’s requirement to update all G59 protection to the latest settings via the Accelerated Loss of Mains Change Programme. We continue to be the lead commissioning engineers on a major 132/11kV substation upgrade in the UK and to consult for other generation projects both large and small. We enjoyed more work within the Energy from Waste sector operating as a consultant to a major operator across numerous sites. We continue to tackle any issues that are raised by our clients and relish the opportunity to take on even the most complex problems. We continue to employ new graduates from top universities and thereby expect to secure our future.
Year 2018 news
We commissioned 8 new gas turbine generators, one 132 kV mesh corner and, too many to count, gas engines of the type that look like diesel engines and switchboards at 33 kV and 11kV. Our work overseas was in France, Italy, Netherlands, Indonesia, Iraq, Thailand, UAE and Ghana. Our best friends know that we get each job done completely and efficiently and all the technical glitches are resolved quickly and painlessly. Overall, we are probably the best value of any company anywhere.
Year 2017 news
We had a slow start to our 28th year but had a very busy second half of the year.
By the year’s end, we had completed commissioning on 7 new generators and attended to many others for maintenance, refurbishment and to deal with such things as protection, excitation and synchronising issues. Most were Gas Turbine Generator sets and some included commissioning of switchgear and integration of generators into existing systems. Our work was in 9 countries – Belgium, Egypt, Italy, Kuwait, Netherlands, Pakistan, Spain, Thailand and UK.
Year 2016 news
Our 27th year was not bad at all. By the year’s end, we had completed commissioning on 12 new generators and attended to many others for maintenance, refurbishment and to deal with such things as protection, excitation and synchronising issues. Most were Gas Turbine Generator sets and some included commissioning of switchgear and integration of the generator into existing systems. Our work was in 9 countries – Ghana, Greece, India, Italy, Libya, Pakistan, Poland, Saudi Arabia and UK.
Year 2015 news
Our 26th year was not bad at all. By the year’s end, we had commissioned 11 new generators and attended to many others for maintenance, refurbishment and to deal with such things as protection, excitation and synchronising issues. Most were Gas Turbine Generators, but some were Steam Turbine Generators. Our work was in 9 countries – Pakistan, Poland, Angola, Russia, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, India and UK.
Year 2014 news
Our 25th year was a near record in every way. By the year’s end, we had commissioned 12 new generators and attended to many others for maintenance, refurbishment and to deal with such things as protection, excitation and synchronising issues. Most were Gas Turbine Generators, but some were Steam Turbine Generators. Our work was in 12 countries - Angola, Greece, India, Italy, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Crimea - Ukraine and UK. We went offshore UK and India.
Year 2013 news
Our company year was very busy from 2 January until 20 December. By the year’s end, we had commissioned 13 new gas turbine generators and attended to a number of others, GTGs as well as Steam Turbine Generators, STGs, to sort out protection, excitation and synchronising issues. Our work was in 11 countries - France, Germany, India, Italy, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Tanzania, Ukraine and UK.
Year 2012 news
Whilst we tend to focus on glitzy generation and protection, we should remember that we continue to do solid planning and project work for 11 kV distribution in the North West of the UK. This renewal and automation work proceeds at a fairly constant level from within this company and also through a wholly owned subsidiary.
Year 2011 news
We saw an increase in design work this year with protection studies at all voltages between 11 kV and 380kV. The sophistication in modern multifunction protection relays is amazing, even to us, and all of it is realised in software. We commissioned 4 new generator sets and 4 repaired generators this year on 6 sites and provided technical support and maintenance at many other sites at home and abroad.
Year 2010 news
We commissioned 9 new generator sets and 3 repaired generators this year on 8 sites and provided technical support and maintenance at many other sites at home and abroad. We visited Algeria, Ghana, Kuwait, Iran, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Syria.
