03 · Facilities in operation
Quality, interventions and maintenance
Beyond commissioning, Service supports substations and facilities already in operation, with lean teams and fast mobilization.
Quality engineering and inspections
Manufacturing and receiving inspections, tests and conformity checks of equipment and installations, with quality reports and records.
Small interventions
Smaller jobs, such as replacing a few pieces of equipment, adaptations and one-off repairs, that do not need the structure of an EPC contract.
Maintenance
Preventive and corrective maintenance of substation equipment and of protection, control and automation systems.
04 · Process
Commissioning process
Six stages, from system conception to supervised energization.
- 01
Engineering
System conception according to the client's needs and the most demanding safety standards.
- 02
Factory tests
Designs are tested at the factory, ensuring the functionality specified by engineering.
- 03
Primary equipment
Tests to national and international standards, with state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring integrity and performance.
- 04
Protection curves
Verification of relay settings against the project's selectivity study.
- 05
Integrated tests
Installations checked against functional and logic designs: interlocks, automatic sequences, local and remote control, voltage and current circuits.
- 06
Energization
Once commissioning is approved, the team supervises energization and ensures the installation's performance.
