Power & Utilities
Power Stations and utilities are the backbone of any developed society. Failures in supply can cause huge disruption and large losses. Utilities employ large sophisticated items of plant often operating under extreme conditions. Careful risk management is vital to minimise breakdowns and damage. Networks can vary widely throughout the world from large National and Internationally integrated systems to small independent systems and producers. The environments they operate in vary from extreme cold in the arctic to extreme heat in desert areas. Operating practices and the markets that plants operate in also vary and require careful analysis if a meaningful risk assessment is to be undertaken. The recent trend towards asset life extension and increasingly complex revenue models must be taken into account if risks are to be adequately considered.
Charles Taylor technical has worked in this sector for many years and has experience with almost all of the technology used. This includes gas turbines, steam turbines, heat recovery steam generators, geothermal power plants, hydroelectric plants, diesel, oil and coal fired power plants, transmission and distribution systems, wind turbines both onshore and offshore, water supply, sewage infrastructure and pipelines.
