Following project scope, design and sign-off, the first milestone was to deliver and place the two T2200kVA Kohler-SDMO generators. Utilising a third party cranage company, the two generating sets were craned into an adjacent position and then skated in. Due to severe space limitations, the silencers built for the generator couldn’t be hung from the ceiling in a traditional style. As an alternative solution, a bespoke silencer support frame was constructed.
The generators were installed complete with plant room acoustic equipment, alongside two incumbent Caterpillar generators. They were then connected into the existing 10,000 litre fuel tank arrangement. The newly installed ComAp synchronising controllers were then modified to ensure compatibility with existing synchronising systems.
All new infrastructure was delivered and installed by the WBPS Logistics and Project teams within predefined time frames and budgets. This was one of our more challenging and demanding diesel generator installation projects.
