Types of electrical maintenance contracts

There are several different levels
of electrical maintenance contracts available. These vary from the most basic
testing package to the all-inclusive option, incorporating preventative works
and testing bundled together.

Test and inspection package

Incorporating EICR testing (EICR
Installation Condition Report) and PAT testing - Portable Appliance Testing
(PAT), this is the most basic maintenance contracts covering off your statutory
liabilities. This allows you to have peace of mind that your testing needs are
covered off each year.

Emergency lighting maintenance

Let us carry out your emergency
lighting testing and maintenance to ensure you stay on the right side of the
law. We're experts in installing, maintaining and testing all forms of
emergency lighting in every type of property and business.

Planned preventative maintenance

Depending on the type and size of
your premises, our engineers will regularly inspect and carry out any repairs
on fittings and installations that need attention.

All inclusive package

For the complete hands-off
solution to your health and safety and maintenance needs. When downtime is
business-critical, the all-inclusive package will ensure you never have to
worry about your electrical, lighting and power needs again. We'll put in place
a comprehensive plan of scheduled maintenance and testing across your business
to suit you. We'll contact you when we need to gain access or complete works
and you'll have a dedicated number to call us when you have any issues.

effective manner.

THE BENEFITS OF CONDITION SURVEY AND POWER AUDIT OF COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES

It is very critical to carry out a Value Engineering Audit Of Facility, a year after post construction and every 5-10years, especially when major modification works has been carried out. It is expected that at this time the building power deployment would have developed a trend that can be studied and then fully appreciated. This trend can either validate the design or be a complete aberration. Most of the time, the trend may be such that diesel consumption can be drastically reduced by reviewing the Genset proposition.

An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy flows for energy conservation in a building, process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). In commercial, industrial and real estate, an energy audit is the first step in identifying opportunities to reduce energy expense and carbon footprints. When the object of study is an occupied building then reducing energy consumption while maintaining or improving human comfort, health and safety are of primary concern. Beyond simply identifying the sources of energy use, an energy audit seeks to prioritize the energy uses according to the greatest to least cost effective opportunities for energy savings. (Wikipedia)

This report is expected to validate the safety and functionality of power support infrastructure and to generate a Log Book of Condition Survey and Power Audit of the electrical services installations and upon the gathered information the recommendations shall be proffered.

  SERVICE DISCRIPTIONS

We shall review existing engineering documentation, protective device settings and available engineering drawings. Our review will include:

·        All the existing as-built electrical drawings and approvals shall be requested and inspected to confirm compliance with prevailing panel arrangements and engineering standards.

·        Appreciation of all incoming cables to checked for quality, reliability and review of the prevailing load, to confirm if the present cable size will require an upgrade.

·        Load spreads for all the floors to analyse the load balancing status and various isolation breakers and cables.

·        Load spread to confirm the occupancy

·        In view of modification made to the building, especially through partitioning of floors, the impacts on the load spread shall be checked for load balancing.

·        The state of the transformer, switchgears, electrical panel (LVs and HTs), transformers and other supply equipment, distribution boards and cables shall be checked for quality and reliability.

·        Fire risk analysis shall also be carried out to validate preparedness to be alerted and fight any fire incidence.

·        The state of the existing Lightning Protection and earth system shall be checked and tested.

·        Generator configuration and the Fuel consumption of such Generator(s) shall be reviewed with respect to required redundancy, peak, off peak and night load.

·        Diagnose various on-going losses in the facility.

We will also make detail review of the electrical maintenance procedures and equipment for:

·        Analysis of maintenance schedule.

·        Current maintenance practice versus industrial standard.

·        Comparison of facility schedule versus available resource.

·        Proper grounding.

Following the audit, a written report containing our findings and recommendations will be provided.

 GENERAL NOTES ON GENERATOR SIZING AND WORK ARRANGEMENT

Different engines have different efficiencies but as a very rough rule of thumb:

1.    A modern engine uses around 210litres per hour per 1000kVA.

2.     So a 100kVA uses around 21 litres, a 250kVA uses around 52 litres / hour,                       350kVA uses 71 litres / hour and so on.     

3.   At #150/litre and 15hours/day by 25days and 12months implies   #675,000/litre/year.

4.     For 1000kva genset at 210liters/hour means #142million yearly

5.     For 100kva (night load) at 21litres of 10hours daily & 365days implies #12million yearly

6.     For 350kva (off peak) at 71litres of 6hours daily & 365days implies #24million

7.     For 350kva by 2 at 142litres (peak period) of 8hours daily & 340days less holidays implies #58million

8.     The above indicates that have multiple gensets suited for the load deployment create lots of savings looking at #142million and a summation of #12M + #24M + #58M =#94 saving #48million.

 Note that this is all genset at 75% load support throughout the year. It implies the savings can be much more.

Each generator data sheet has the precise fuel consumption figures.

Each generator (up to 800kVA) has an internal fuel tank; normally to run for around 6 to 8 hours.

Basis for Recommendations

Critical point to note is that the scope of our engagement does not include comprehensive check of ceiling void and rectification of all flaws, which will require the procurement of cables and accessories. A building services contractor must be contracted to do that.                             

Our recommendations shall be based on our findings, Loggings and consultations with the facility management personnel and the representatives of the various tenants.

We look forward to your call for further discussion on this proposition.

Thank you for your time.
