Premium Transformer Rewind for British Petroleum
TP Power Services picked by BP to complete the rewind of the main drilling transformer on their BP harding platform in the North Sea.
Maintenance at Peterborough Power Station
Before work could even begin on site, Centrica’s exemplary CDM Health, Safety and Environmental Construction Phase Plan required detailed risk assessments, method statements and COSHH reports above industry standards.
The scope of work started with the disconnection of the transformer from underground cabling, and the termination of cables into oil filled bushing chambers with flexible earth links. Once disconnected and safe for refurbishment works to begin, our engineers performed a number of services:
-
External conditioning and repainting
-
Replacement of silica gel crystals and breather cartridge
-
Installation of new offload tapchanger
-
Gasket replacement
-
Replacement of 40,000 litres of transformer oil and safe disposal of old
-
Connection, testing and commissioning
