Alstom has recently unveiled its new mobile facility for transformer on-site repair, refurbishment, redesign and high voltage test in Dubai (UAE).
Hot on the heels of setting up the facility, the company has signed its first contract with Petroleum Development Oman $1 million to rewind a rectifier transformer at site.
Alstom said the new facility consists of a mobile enclosure to repair active parts of transformers in a controlled environment, advanced drying equipment and a container-sized high voltage testing module for diagnostic and repair.
Hamed Heyhat, Alstom’s Regional Managing Director for Grid Service said: “Proximity is essential for ensuring optimal performance of our customers’ assets. Bringing the best of Alstom’s technical competence on site, for a key asset like transformers, will deliver a quick and accurate response to customer needs in the region”.
Large power transformers and special transformers of all types and origins, up to 400 kV and 500 MVA, can now benefit on site from Alstom’s service expertise, the company said.
Jan Masschelin, Alstom’s Vice President for Grid Service said:
“Being highly committed to customer satisfaction, Alstom invests in innovation both in terms of maintenance solutions and long-term asset management.”
