Directional Drilling

21st November 2022

Once in a while we are tasked with projects that throw up additional challenges where specialist engineering solutions are required to fulfil the works. One such example is where either practical or engineering consideration is needed to be shown to ‘surface’ infrastructure and obstacles such as main roads, rivers or railways and the solution is to directional drill rather than open trench or ducting of the cable route.

Pre-Planned Maintenance

EME Power Systems have produced a new fact sheet demonstrating the huge savings that can be made by replacing old inefficient transformers with modern low loss units.

The Benefits of Carrying Out Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

21/07/2022

As part of our extensive maintenance package, EME Power Systems regularly carries out PPM on customer owned HV assets. The purpose of this is to preserve the condition of the asset and prevent faults from occurring that would result in costly and inconvenient power outages. The following tasks are carried out as part of our PPM service:

• Visual inspection.
• Oil sampling.
• Partial discharge testing.

PARTIAL DISCHARGE TESTING

4/5/22

As part of any substation access procedure and a major element to any periodic or predictive planned maintenance schedule to HV equipment is to test for partial discharge. Early identification of partial discharge is a very good indicator of insulating faults starting to develop and gives the opportunity to address prior to any future, possibly catastrophic, equipment failures causing unplanned downtime and unnecessary headaches.
