Electrical & Automation Services – turnkey upgrade, conversion and modernisation solutions

Our Electrical & Automation Services include upgrade and full modernization solutions to improve the performance, extend the life and minimise the obsolescence risk of your existing assets. Our E&A Services also include normal service, maintenance and repairs of electrification and automation systems.

We provide industrial sectors such as energy, marine, oil and gas and LNG&LPG tank terminals with solutions for turnkey upgrade, conversion and modernization as well as obsolescence management for both electrical & automation systems. Power management and distribution, grid stability, non-disruptive and preventive audits and maintenance agreements are all part of the E&A Services.

We also have the experience and capability to carry out extensive upgrade and conversion work on tankers and gas carriers and can supply turnkey control and electrification packages for FSO, FPSO and FSRU conversions. For the gas transportation, storage and terminal activities, we also supply our own tank monitoring solutions.

Electrical & Automation Services – Energy

In daily operations the demand for power can change quickly – increase or decrease – and it requires control systems which are capable to act fast and automatically. The fact is that installations delivered 10 to 15 years ago do not necessarily meet today’s operation conditions, new grid codes, access to remote monitoring or operation. Systems are getting old, obsolete and therefore components' availability might be an issue after system failures.
In other words: our customers face a more challenging operational environment where a safe and reliable operation means up-to-date fully automatic control and automation systems which can even be operated remotely.

Alarm , control and monitoring upgrade
Integrated automation, process control, instrumentation and machinery monitoring systems. Pre-engineered retrofit systems for obsolete monitoring systems.

Complete electrical health checks and maintenance agreements
Structured electrical survey from basic visual inspection to performance audit. Routine maintenance from injection testing of circuit breakers and relays to technical management and operational support.

Efficiency Improvement
Energy saving solutions using variable speed drives for pumps and fans. Power management optimization.

Obsolescence management
Solutions and support to tackle risks of obsolete electrical technology; including audits, tailored retrofits, repairs, replacement and modernization of safety critical systems.

Power Management and Distribution upgrades and extensions
Electrical integration solutions for all applications. Controls retrofit, power management and switchboard extensions.

Medium Voltage (up to 17 kV) and Low Voltage (up to 690 V) modular switchboard.

All the above solutions increase the installation’s reliabilty and productivity thus customers can avoid unplanned stops and unplanned maintenance. Regular inspections and maintenance, and the availability of critical spare parts are key factors in achieving economic operation.
